Text - awesome post written by @M.Seidam Video - excellent post by @Ehab, do not miss it! Some stats below See you all sometime soon. We had a nice fast paced, yet safe twilight drive (day+night). Some nice self recoveries by @Gregory and @Sunil Mathew learning the manual crawl, perfect tugs to correct the angle of @Thomas Varghesexterra from a soft pocket by @M.Seidam. Perfect 2nd lead by @Darren Brooke. Thank you 🙏 Great support by @Hisham Masaad, @Craig Finlayson and @M.Seidam. How well you all are grooming is a joy to experience and watch. Well done and enjoy your week👍

Excellent videos @Ehab. Many thanks for sharing and editing them so well. Perfect . Now I know which position to keep you when we do a drive together 🚙👍

@Zed, I would say getting stuck is way safer than flying. I/We want you to get that fine balance by repeated practice crossing a dune straight up/down and while criss crossing as you progress- first on a small dune, then a medium, then a bigger and a sharp crest. By flying you risk breaking something ( a bumper/fog lamps) to be the least, or a flip if it was worse - both of which is totally avoidable. If you fly while criss crossing you risk a roll over as most of the times you are entering the slip side of a dune. While you practice to get that balance, you can get stuck 100 times and I/we will recover you 100 times (Here comes the importance of having strong rated recovery points at front and back.), but all do it fairly quickly. None other than @Karthikeyan Govindarajan would agree. Good to see how he is finding that balance in quick time

Noted with thanks, we will arrange as soon as we have leads and support available. I / we are working to the best of our abilities to make it happen

Dont worry my friend @Sunil Mathew. You did your best , and you will only get better. The whole idea behind the advises, and a bit firmness from my end was to help you to get a feel of manually crawling out (blip blip with steering) rather than pulling you which was the easiest way out. You will master this self recovery technique which will make you more confident, better and a safe off roader

Yes, keep a watch. If you see any drop outs you are welcome 👍

Dear @N@ved, I have already stretched quite a bit to accommodate all requests. Sorry, but your was very late. Appreciate your understanding, see you soon

Some one has exited the drive , and hence you will be added @Thomas Varghese. Do you confirm?

I had that planned, did not mention it. Don't worry whole of Qudra has good signals and we will not be far from tarmac. So all of you can book your drives as you like. We will stop at 6.55pm and start again once everyone has RSVPed/ applied for waitlist 🤣

Dear @Christian Andras, from seeing how you drive so wonderfully be it any level I don't think you should be feeling handicapped or wounded. Sand dunes are great leveler for anyone , irrespective of their cars/mods or tires. At some point you have to remember not to cross that line as there are some things you just cannot do /push through. You are a fantastic driver and ease through it, enjoy your drives be it any level!
