Thanks @Janarthan @Tbone for leading us through this lovely terrain - two diff leading styles in one ride made it even better .@Abu Muhammad @Hisham MasaadMasaad thanks for your support through the trip.. It was first dive through this area and it was super.fun over those ridges... Forgot to add that electric Jack and wrench was really cool, something I would surely go for, especially as we approach summer.time... @Hisham Masaad do share link if you find it. @Frederic any thoughts on the same? I think it's this one https://www.amazon.ae/dp/B07YZ7HHP6/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_C05HR807SBEP9PNNM0JE @Hisham Masaad can confirm

Hey @MUHAMMAD Kashif RAZZAQ this was always going to be a struggle (almost close to not feasible)...I hope I could come close (at least being able to follow the tracks you left behind)...Thanks a lot, with you leading the tracks, makes it look so much smoother and easier to follow.. @Niki Patel Hope the LWB Wrangler didn't create too much havoc for you to follow.

Securing items in trunk on X

Thats a cool installation @Ahab Shamaa - Molle's been on my wishlist for few months, pending Finance Minister's approval.. especially as used last approval on Lego and previous one on camera lens. N all offroading Must Hv gears.😀 Some day.... Till then will survive on straps.. -
Thanks @Rahimdad bhai. I had the exact picture in mind as you described...it's very similar to when we learned those brush strokes in art class...smoother and relaxed the approach better is the outcome... Have been trying to put it in action over last couple of drives, has affected my pace a bit but then that's something can always get better with more drives ... @Frederic tips on side slope and criss crossing are surely something i revisit before and after each drive...just to remind my brain of the basics and assess what I missed out on at particular instant... Really like the way you emphasized on fact - it's not about trying hard but enjoying it and feeling the smooth sail.. Holding a brush hard does not produce much of an art...😀 For me the struggle hasn't been about stucks or major refusals..just the inner drive to do it with better finesse and grace.. On one of the drives saw a team of UAE adventure club, three Jeeps of same colors criss crossing through dunes in flawless sync...even the distance between them didn't change through the drive....that's the goal...was a beautiful well choreographed performance .😀 Same as we see it with our leads at Carnity ..

Hi @Srikumar true this is a very important point....one key thing I have been observing over last few drives is how smoothly (with limited or no footprint) the marshalls or even some of more experienced drivers in a convoy adjust to a changing terrain... One of the reason I felt is ability to judge the exact amount of momentum required for an obstacle and one's car's ability to manage it at a specific rpm... New to very steep dunes and slopes, i personally felt that at times I was churning the sand a bit too much especially at end of series of big bowls. And when I tried to reduce it the doubt at back of mind led to refusals and slower pace... I am sure experience and practice are one way, however would appreciate if any tips around it.

Thanks @Lorenzo Candelpergher for the wonderful drive. The steep dunes, awesome slopes and a bit of ridge driving it had all that i needed to practice skills learnt over my last Fewbie plus drive. Felt much more in control with manual shift today and all credit to leadership team and process at Carnity. The development chart is very well thought through providing a very structured learning curve. Thanks to @Shamil and @Arda Yagcioglu for regular support. And to the whole team for making it a fun drive. Looking forward for the next ride with you all.

I think get your Vitamin D checked my friend... And just an advice - was on this route last week, join only if you feel perfectly fit. It's quite a steep rise in level from usual Fewbie - rightly so, that's how the learning curve should be i believe. While I cherished every moment of it, perhaps the best drive experience however surely demanding as well.
