Highlights of Qudra II Newbie Night Drive : Thank you all for being even a head of time which shows how punctual and passionate you are . Respect 🙏 Seeing full house families , meeting new faces and chit chatting during the breaks with humor and big smiles is all what are these drives are about after all 🙏 all convoy despite some tricky spots did more than great and this reflects how when we stick to the rules of desert complications are the least to happen. In fact in this particular drive apart from couple refusals there were no stucks no ropes out neither shovels were needed. Faraz in the second lead , Andrew in the middle and Mahesh tailing the convoy were truly the back bone of the convoy helping when ever needed. Big thank you guys 🙏 I wish all of you pleasant weekend and see you in another night drive next week Inshallah ( full moon Night 🌕 ) Cheers Seidam

Good afternoon, Thank you for joining this drive, for your attentiveness, and feedback. All of which were very much appreciated. This was my second time leading a convoy and it was an amazing experience. You all drove extremely well through a variety of terrains. We had minor refusals and successful reattempts though these were few in numbers. Everyone showed up early, which is always appreciated especially now it's getting hot out there. We started with a briefing and then entered the sands with Fred leading until we reached Pink Rock. Once we got to Pink Rock we took a short break and watched two other clubs playing on the long hill climbs just south of the usual PInk Rock crossing. There were several examples of unsafe driving practice for us to talk about. At this point, I began leading the convoy. We easily crossed Pink Rock and then made our way to Camel Hill where we went down and up and around again a couple of times before moving on. We played in a couple of patches of medium sized dunes before staring to make our way to Little Red and Big Red, where we went up and down a few times and played around on the top while minding the other clubs in the area. We exited at the usual point along the E44 and the Desert Adventures operator camps. Thank you @Frederic for your guidance and support on this drive. Very much appreciated. Also, thanks to @Andrei S for Sweeping to make sure we were all together and accounted for. It was great to meet you again @Zsolt and @essam ibrahim. You both drove well today. @Zsolt hopefully there are easy fixes for the traction control and ABS disablement and a fix for your gearing issue. Have a great weekend everyone. Here is our route and some stats from our drive today. We covered an amazing 51 km in 3 hours which is pretty good for a FB drive. The elevation profile shows some decent amount of dune explorations and some really nice hill climbs.

Thanks Doc for an amazing drive. Driving in the night is a whole new experience!

Congrats @Zahid Sharif and enjoy the challenge it brings.

Oh, nice! Happy with that! Will give some more options for variety in drives, and progress in learning. Very glad I joined this community, with its structured approach and fantastic setup to make you learn and improve bit by bit from very welcoming and patient leaders and crew. Good also to meet with new people around a shared common subject, and a great way to unwind and leave the city. Thanks all, here’s to meeting you again on next drives. @Gaurav, see you tomorrow! Thanks, dear Sir! Hope you get the Tahoe fixed soon and meet up on a next adventure!
