In other words we need a slave

Trip Report: Wow. Amazing. Exciting. I just seem to run out of words. My best Liwa trip ever, well executed and the best 9 cars for the job. The episode began on time everyone reached with a clear excitement on their face. We all met at Adnoc, filled our cars with petrol and few of us carried extra fuel which was not needed and that made an extra work for them to empty cans after exiting :). As we approached to the deflation point the area to enter I was frightened by the size and formation of the dunes around us. After deflating and quick safelty breafing we entered and played around for some time, and soon we all accepted the sand was very soft and we needed to push our stock cars to get through the terrain. Playing on these dunes was absolutely amazing, but we needed to be cautious as some of these dunes formations were very different than the ones we are used too, filled with technical dunes with pockets one after other. The best part of this area is when we have to drive down steep tall dunes and the cracking of breaking the sands with your tires was just like F16 is passing by. Climbing to the top of dunes is really challenging and we need to follow the step strategy through the technical dunes and once you reach to the top the dunes are breathe taking and plenty of huge rolling dunes around. As sun went up, 12noon I was finding difficulty in reading the dunes as the pockets started becoming camouflage and we decided to stop for lunch break after driving for a while. Zed’s biriyani, tikka – Santoso’s tea, Farooq’s meat arayes, arabic cofee after having all of these i felt like I am not going to drive anymore. With enough rest second half started, we saw a group exiting, we waved them and accelerated to the top again. We came across several challenges and the team stood up to take every challenge with a huge smile and enthusiasm. This area is not for everyone as both the formation of the dunes and some very soft patches makes it difficult to drive in this area. We even encountered the tire pressure raising by 4 PSI to make it difficult to climb, so we had to monitor our tire pressure constantly. @ShereenMK was at second lead and you did amazing job by correcting the path whenever i was struggling. @Alphin Aloor thanks for joining us all the way from dubai, @Naveen Raj@Farouq Owdeh@Santoso Marjuki@Mus_hus78@Zed@Josh T.thank you all and each one of you were my confident to plan this area. see you all next time.

@Zedi am not carrying any extra fuel, i will borrow from you if needed please fix your price now. don't worry guys we will not wait till we run out of fuel completely, we will exit when there is enough fuel to reach nearby filling station.

Plan is to do 80-100kms max with enough breaks and exit by 4PM or till the first car fuel runs out and exit from nearby exit (20-25 km track), whichever comes early.
