Well i need to mention this was involving a bit of luck: As my other half drove several years with the same Pajero we started to understand what they can do, so when i see a stuck Pajero i turn into a stubborn man they wants to explore every option to get it out by itself. The 3.8 model comes with the rear difflock and once engaged it can do wonders. -

We promised slow and technical and i think we all had a blast this morning! This terrain and area is usually more used for our scenic drives, but once in a while we venture in the technical dunes and got great feedback from our members that it holds nice challenges, like soft sand, steep climbs and descents, and overall needs focus and good momentum. This was the main objective of today: to create a blend of our scenic drives, where we would use the existing farm tracks, and also venture into those narrow bushy dunes as well. We all came out on the other end with big smiles thanks a fantastic lead. For @Sam Selimthis terrain was new but it never showed: he rerouted where needed, found smooth lines even in those narrowest of spots, and kept the long convoy moving. The help of @JC_E and @Thomas54675 amongst the convoy was a big help as well, and @khurramm kept an eagle eye over us from the back with regular updates. Of course we had some refusals and stucks, and this was the plan all along. We soldiered on and kept a big smile, and that's what these drives are meant for. I hope you all enjoyed it and we will definitely be back in that area: there's much more to see over there. See you all soon in the sand again! -
