DRIVE PLAN PLEASE READ IT FULLY, BEFORE RSVP. After last week's amazing IM exploration through Razeen, I wish to explore this vast area from the other side, with Fewbie Plus. This will be an exploration drive through Razeen desert with an aim to find, mark and connect good, bad and wow areas for future drives. Being an exploration drive, it can be 6K RPM all the time, it can be technical, it can be scenic, it can be fast or dead slow - or mix of all. So be ready for anything, but be sure it's going to be very exciting. The bottom line, this is not going to be a regular off-road drive, so please join the drive with an open mind and flexible approach.

Nice observation and comments Fredy. Desert is indeed unforgiving sometimes. @Ishak another way to learn is by seeing other LWB Pajero on how they handle and how they improvise on lines (most imp), so you have faith that yes your Pajero can also do it, just with tiny adjustment and not with brute force and fishtailing. If you have a chance, try to join @Salim Akhtar and see how impeccably and safely he drives his LWB Pajero and still makes it to the top without any refusals/stuck.

I was in a no-worries zone with such a strong convoy and capable hand, I had a free mind to do anything I liked to do on such an exploration-level drive.

I love Zedy's expression here: yes/no/yes/no/yes/no/yes/

Thank you, everyone, for joining this amazing exploration drive and making it super successful with such a strong convoy of level-headed and sensible yet capable drivers (most imp). Truly, Razeen exceeded my expectations in terms of beauty, vastness, challenges and landscape with it's deceiving dune formation and breathtaking view. At Razeen, we found a good mix of many different terrains of Abu Dhabi in one place: Big dunes and bowls of Al Qua and Wagan Tricky and unexpected dune formations like Bu-Tais Super soft sand and technical dunes like Liwa and TOC. As we have barely explored a quarter of the planned area, surely we need to explore more with good entry and exit points to avoid long gatch tracks and add new areas for our regular drives. @Looper big thanks for taking some amazing pictures of everyone with such an epic landscape, and for giving us a good memory to remember for a lifetime. I saved a few for a real portrait. Thanks, @DP1011 for SL duties, I was not looking at the rear view at all, because of your capable driving which let me explore like a 6 years old playing with new toys. I loved it, thoroughly. Thank you @Joji varghese and @Rajiv Sam for support duties and making sure everyone had your helping hand when they needed it the most. Special thanks and shout to @Zed @Stumpy Paj @Rajiv Sam and @DP1011 for making that insane slip-face climb to save me, when dune was adamant to hold me for breakfast. @Naveen Raj @Bjoern @Salim Akhtar @Amir Amiri and @Gok Krish was great to see you all after a long time and thanks for your wonderful drive capabilities with a lot of patience, teamwork and humor to make such exploration drive even more memorable.
