    Thanks @Gaurav and the rest of the leadership team. Your patience to allow us to experience challenges week after week (and sometimes learn the hard way!) is amazing. Your sacrifices every weekend is noted and the new crop of excellent leaders are testament to your ability to transfer your skills. Thanks @Rinelle Sanaani - your time is close as well!

    Congrats - enjoy the new level.

    Well done @Tbone!!

    Agree. Approach should either be straight up or a wider angle for criss-crossing - he was in-between. Also no momentum, so no chance to steer down on the other side and use gravity to recover. Driver seems very inexperienced with insufficient following distance. With no seatbelts they were lucky that only Pajero was dented. Also no off-road flags to be seen anywhere - something that I have unfortunately observed quite a few times lately.

    Thanks to @Jeepie @Wrangeld and @Emmanuel for leading us through dune after dune yesterday! While the going was tough for the convoy at some stages, we all made it out safely and with a lot of learning under the belt. A huge shoutout also to @Rinelle Sanaani and @Tbone - we have been riding together at the back for a few trips now, and, while the tough bits are well churned-up by the time we arrive, they seem to handle all with ease! And they are always willing to jump in and help with the shoveling and pushing!

    Indeed, I want to add my thanks for @Ale Vallecchi for planning and leading this trip - great route and beautiful part of Dubai. Thanks to @Srikumar and @Vanessa8580 for tirelessly attending to the stucks, in glorious sunshine! This was a trip where a few people struggled with momentum repeatedly - I am not sure whether they were driving new cars, or whether their lack of following distance forced them to brake at the worst of times? As a result the convey lost a lot of momentum, but we still covered most of the planned route + enjoyable night drive. All in all a great way to spend a Friday afternoon with like-minded community members.

    Eric, you should read the grading of off-road members for this group. You are a newbie for at least 5 Newbie drives, after which you can be promoted to Fewbie (and join those drives) subject to your skills with your vehicle. To be honest, I had a CRV before and I would not even do a Newbie drive with that in the desert (doing a circle on flat sand is not what we do on out drives!) - not real 4x4. But Gaurav is very skilled in guiding different types of cars and maybe he will assess you on the Absolute Newbie drive. For sure you should not venture on Fewbie drive at this stage. Just my 5c.

    Looking forward to the drive @Ale Vallecchi

    If you want to spend AED 30k per MONTH, I know of a Prado (never driven in the sand :-))

    I also leave about 15 minutes before 6 for morning drives - but I follow roads without cameras (at least for first 15 minutes :-))
