Doc @Chaitanya Dthis is really unexpected, I have to opt out of the drive.

No issues , remove your rsvp so that the next person on WL can be added automatically 

take care 

@JeromeFJ congratulations , well done

@varunmehndiratta congratulations well done

Well done Mayank @munkybizness. Congratulations

Trip Report:

We all had a extended duration of drive in the technical tight dunes which I suppose everyone enjoyed!!😃

After the initial 90 min , getting to Murquab was a breeze, with some nice tall dune crossings.

Thanks @Jessica Lambert for being perfect 2nd lead in the challenges thrown.

@Alain Canivet-Abikhalil was the savior , tugging shoveling and advising all over the place. Thank you so much for your presence, and help which was a delight to watch. 

@Adnan Halepota swept all together, thanks buddy.

Some learnings:

1. Momentum and approach is important - try not to force your way through the dunes.

2. Straight dunes crossing comes smoothly with practice.

3. Gravity is your friend - never fight it.

4. Please bring the mandatory gear required for the drives - shovel, programmed radio which is charged, off road flag, deflator and a compressor.

Have a nice week at work!

Hi @Chaitanya D , this will be my first night driving , thought it would be good to explore the experience of that too

Is there any special preparation / kit required other than what we usually bring for day time drive ?

look forward to meeting you and the rest of convoy 

👋 hi

no special preparations 

Wear full trousers and shoes , a torch would be handy to see where you walk to be safe from creepers

Hello! This will be my first night drive, do we need extra offroad lights / a lit flag or are stock light and a normal flag fine?

 

Thanks Markus

Hi @Markus B. No need for off road lights, high beam with fog lamps is ok.

regular flag is okay, if you have a blinking led which you can attach  to the flag - simplest is the one u strap on a cycle is also ok ( not a must)
