Due to less participants, i have decided to call off this drive. We only had 2 sign ups, and the area we choose for the adventure is quite challenging and it is not safe to attempt with just 3 cars. @nithish468 @Alphin Aloor apologies, i will try to post the drive again after some weeks. Hopefully "LIWA AGAIN" See you all

@nithish468 @Waqaɾ @Alphin Aloor @Cristian thank you for joining the much-awaited Liwa Drive 2025 Get ready to conquer the most spectacular dunes of Liwa Mzeer'ah to Moreeb area. This challenging terrain will put our off-roading skills to the ultimate test. Before we hit the dunes, please ensure your 4x4 is in top-notch condition and has been recently serviced to handle the demanding terrain. Our goal is to drive to Moreeb Hill through the dunes from Mzeer'ah and loop back to the starting point, covering some of the most thrilling dunes around the area. Drive Preparation: Your car should be in 100% pristine working condition, so double or triple check everything during this week Full-size spare tire with a lug wrench to match your wheel nut size and its depth. For aftermarket rims - Your lug wrench also needs to match the wheel nut depth As it's a long full-day drive, so catch up with enough sleep in advance 5-10 liter of water per person.

It was one more epic drive to follow the waypoints and some 14days old broken ready made tracks of DCT participants which was left behind on 9th nov 2024. We started our drive 30mins late and added that extra minutes to end our drive and finished the drive on time - 1.30pm. Initially we planned to cover 17 waypoints but ended up doing 11 waypoints and collected 130 points. @Andrew John Melvill thank you for being my second lead and correcting my wrong moves every now and then. @MUSTAFA hussain @Marek @Beide Worku i am sure you guys loved the taste of DCT bumps. @Aser my DCT competitor you did not disclose any secret strategy of your team Dune Navigators @Luke K P we reached to the exact location where i left my radio and followed my recorded track and back tracked for some distance, didn't even find the foot prints of our track in that area. The lost radio mystery is unsolved. RIP Motorola 777.

@Marek Plan is to drive until the fuel gauge warning shows up. I will exit only when i hear someone saying on radio "i am running out of fuel"

awesome pictures @Marek
