  1. Thanks Gaurav and Ale for organizing this awesome drive and stepping up to accommodate the long list of WL.

    The weather, the setting, the team were all awesome and the cheerleaders (the camels and donkeys 🙂) made it simply special. Simply couldn't have asked for better location to mark the last drive for 2020. 

    Thanks to Kashif, Ahab and Niki for guiding us through the drive. You guys made it comfortable for all of us in most technical of situations. 

    Special thanks to Ale and Richard for exploring this route. I am not going to miss any chance to get back there again. 

    Looking forward to see you all in 2021. Thanks again for the exhilarating nature safari today.

    PS: I am struggling to tag ppl in comment. Page keeps on adding the same name multiple times. Perhaps my phone or maybe a bug to test on webpage.

  2. Thanks @Rahimdad@Wrangeld for an awesome drive today. It was really exhilarating day in desert with lots of soft sand, steep slides and awesome play areas with beautiful slide slopes.

     

    Self assessment : loved every bit of my wranglers ride today. It truly is a mean machine. Important lesson learnt - lock the frequency on walkie talkie 🙂🙂. Only time I had refusal today, my walkie talkie jumped the frequency and I missed important instructions from Richard in my self recovery mode..though managed to find my way out, it truly ratifies the safety norm - don't  overlook the minutest of details in every tool we have.

     

    Another tip that I practiced today and cherished every bit of it (learnt after watching multiple offroading guides/videos and practiced today) - while going down a steep slope, look under the side view mirror (not in the mirrors, under the mirror) to get a clear view of slope....worked great for me so sharing with all...

    Thanks all for great afternoon. My daughter and dad both enjoyed a lot in your company.

  3. Thanks all for a nice afternoon experience, specially to @Gaurav and @Jeepie, I think we as a newbie group tested well your recovery skills and learnt a lot from you both through the ride. 

    Surface was very soft through the course and that meant we had it all - someone stuck every 5 min, pop outs, regular tow recoveries to winch recovery. 

    Personally with around 5-6 rides done (3 with Carnity) and couple previously I have really started to relate much better to my vehicles and njoied every bit of it. Especially the high slopes we did in the end was real highlight for me. 

    Thanks again looking forward to see you guys over next weekend(s). 

     

    Cheers

    @Sreenath Giridharan and @varunmehndiratta please sign in on any ONE drive until Wednesday, so that everyone gets a fair chance to have at least one drive per weekend.

    You can waitlist your name for second drive and on Wednesday morning, I will add you if there is any empty slots.

  5. Hi @Ruan van den Heever - Yeah was thinking of strapping it in boot, however, not very comfortable with idea of gasoline inside car... however, i think @Srikumar tip of sealing it with a plastic bag before closing seems like a good idea.. will try that.. 

     

    And @Ruan van den Heever  awesome thought of taking off the roof, i havent got the freedom roof stand yet and havent got a big garage, so wont be able to take off the back section, however, surely would go for front sections. 

    Looking forward for drive with you all.

    Next step --> need to check prerequisites of entering Abu Dhabi and process around the same.
