Kalahari

Hi @Wrangeld as discussed on Saturday, I have the following 2 potential flagpole fittings that you can use (they do not fit Xterra). Let me know and I can bring along on next shared drive.

Just did 120k service on my X - any mortgage brokers on this site????

Well done @sertac

Yip, @Ale Vallecchi use the widescreen option

Great - I learned my map navigation in the army, about a 1000 years before GPS was invented (I think the first compass just came out!). So love topo maps. With my premium account I try to overlay Topo on top of Sat, but visibility is crap. Maybe I will glue a 52” screen to my Xterra dashboard and pair it with my phone?

Hi @Frederic, I also like topo maps to give indication of the gradient of some dunes / areas. With ESRI as base, which are your favourite overlays used? Saw the use of red areas in your post - I love that and will certainly use that.

Bought and downloaded 2 days ago. Will start to use it and build a repository of waypoints from this weekend. Most of my waypoints will be comfy patches of soft sand to avoid

Congrats @Tbone!

Hi @Srikumar, I have removed myself from the drive - will do the Leading training with Gaurav in the evening. Enjoy!

I’m in for light lunch @Ale Vallecchi - will see you 1:30.

In a post-Covid world, a drive from mountain to sea will be great @Ale Vallecchi with a debrief on the beach at sunset!

Well done!

Well done!

Massive thanks to @Gaurav @Srikumar @Frederic @Emmanuel @Ale Vallecchi @Wrangeld and @Rahimdad - while you guys were born Fewbie +, I am proof that an old dog can still learn a few new tricks! Thank you for your weekly dedication and patience with the exponentially growing number of community members - I can assure you, this is appreciated by all of us. Indeed, the desert keeps one humble - as I learnt after getting stuck once my tires have been inflated at the inflation point - after a RECOVERY training drive!!!!! Thankfully my fellow X-man @Chaitanya D was there to spare me the agony of deflating again... Thanks to my regular driving buddies @Chaitanya D @Tbone @Rinelle Sanaani @Najeeb Mohammed @Febin Frederic and @J J - while we may share a lot of banter, we all learn a lot from each other every week.

Well done @Vanessa8580 - much deserved!

Well done @Chaitanya D!!! Enjoy the next level.

Great drive again @Emmanuel - while the sand was much more forgiving than a few weeks ago, you took us through an amazing number of torque feasting climbs! Despite the usual mall traffic at the tick-box hotspots, as expected you lead us through a few less-traveled dunes, which I always appreciate. Thanks for the effort - knowing that your genuine off-time over weekends are quite limited! Shoutout to @Chaitanya D who waited to show the way for the back of the convoy when there was a mini break-up - your patience is appreciated!

Of course it was a deliberate choice to go that sexy lava red

Yip, but only when we have to break for Jeeps slowing down

Why? Jeeps don't get stuck.

Camping chair is essential for recoveries! Good initiative this @Gaurav. I think different cars have different tricks (especially of you have diff-locks), so practice makes perfect.

Well done Dunemaster @Ale Vallecchi!! Looking forward to many more drives with you.

Agree 100%. The one thing I like about the Carnity community is the extra effort from the experts to mentor the rest of us, on many things. I will certainly enjoy many more drives with the whole team, and accept their guidance as just that.

Just try your tricks far away from us - and wear masks
