The dream would be something like the Long Way series on Apple+ with Ewan McGregor and Charley Boorman (https://www.longway.tv/). Yeah, I know that's on bikes, but the idea is the same. We have done a few longer trips on my Harley in USA: US North-East, the full US East Coast, Blue Ridge; and even more in Europe: full Atlantic Coast, Adriatic Coast, Eastern Europe, Middle Europe. However, now that the Missus is not that charmed sitting on the back of a motorbike for the larger part of the day anymore, doing this with the comfort of a car should be a great substitute! Now all I need is to convince her of the same! So instead of heading out for more than a couple of weeks on our bike, something a bit further than just off-grid and a bit longer with a car would be amazing. For now, I'll make do with weekend/day trips over here in the desert and the weeks in the summer on the bike (for a few hours in the morning and afternoon) and hope she'll catch the bug, so we can set sail for an adventure. Oh and win the jack-pot, to finance it all!

3 days Liwa crossing will do.. flood in a wadi is ok too @Frederic ))

For me a drive home to Cape Town from Dubai, I spend hours looking at potential routes. Follow changes in the politics and war status in various counties I would need to drive through. Have my Cape Town waypoint set as Home on my Garmin. So in reality just the button and go. Or anything that Itchy Boots does on her you tube channel, have been following her adventures for years.

Very good Sandeep in another words I would say : 1. first of all ( this situation particular ) anchor the car from above by two equal points to acheive control descend . 2. remove the sidewall sand 3. Use long rope ( 2 , 3 or even 4 ropes ) connected by shackles this will make the recovering car to be positioned accurately in proper angle

Alright, Wheel Warriors, as part of getting to know the club members more and aligned with the first post to better understand the profiles we have in the club: Let’s now take this adventure to the next level! 🏜️ Imagine your dream off-roading adventure — where would it be? What wild challenges would you love to tackle? Think massive dunes, Mountain or Wadi formations, the beach or maybe even tackling the desert at night! 🌙 Or how about some fun and games? What do you think about driving through a Desert Obstacle Course or a wild Sandball match after a thrilling dune run? 🏐 Dream big about your ideal off-roading setup. What gear, or gadgets would you want for the ultimate desert adventure? Let’s get creative and start sharing !! — This is your chance to share your wildest off-roading dreams and see what everyone else is planning for their next adventure! 🚗💨 Let's get to know what everyone loves to do and see if any of these ideas can be applied within our club, in some shape or form.

Before moving to the Middle East, and knowing absolutely nothing about off-roading, i grew up watching Camel Trophy, Dakar, and later the fantastic Top Gear adventures. Rally was also one of my favorites. So my dream adventure? taking part in off-road endurance race, and ideally having my two partners in crime @Gaurav and @Srikumar joining me, so we will have lots of laughs, breakdowns, and goofing off while we are at it Somewhere in Africa, South America, or perhaps Saudi Arabia!

I advise everyone to check also recovery situations through the the thread of the greatest of recoveries

this is another one similar but in faster mode

It has been for a long time since i joined a day light drive . It was unplanned at all . It turned out an amazing slide on the sand lead by @Looper thanks a lot and I hope you sort your car very soon out . I had the chance to see ppl not seen from ages that was nice . every one was surfing and gliding like a pro @Andrew John Melvill @Ishak @Sandeep N @Amir Amiri and @Beide Worku Cheers

Well Done @Mike M.!!
