Dear Friends what a beautiful cool morning it was and what indeed a challenging drive we did . Every one was on time and ready and after quick briefing we started on the track slowly to have initial glide in taller dunes as I knew what was coming could be more tight and technical . I expected to have lots of refusals and stucks more than usual but guys you proved me wrong and I really was impressed by each one of you driving skills . Well done . The main intention of this final loop was not speed more than fine driving and maintaining the needed momentum and try to focus on self recovery with keeping the shovel on the move and the rope stand by and I believe it was. Probably the true one event was my own stuck side way in super soft slip face with inclination entailed to anchor with it the car from the other side just for safety as there is no place for the slightest error here. While I was in my car I got all the feedback from outside and from different angles helped a lot and together with @marks and @Pacific bringing their cars to the other side for anchorage . @Rob S facing the front standing on foot at the ridge watching the slack/tightness of ropes and the right sided tire. @Daniel Rodas @topgear @James Thorn and @Gregoryshovelling the sand wall from the left side . And with precise communication among all ( team work ) I managed to redirect my car nose down till on the flat. My left front took a toll and popped out and fixed immediately in no time. continuing the drive driving now against slip face and that was the most demanding one and tricky where couple of crests cleared with the efforts of the team. Looping back from slip to hard as time was catching hence we took the dirt track toward exit . @Gregory thank you for making your drive to perfection as second lead keeping the enough distance which gave me freedom to scout and react accordingly👍 @Rob S meeting you for first time what a pleasure . You drove very well today and thanks for assisting me in inflation at end of the drive as my compressor has passed it’s last breath post drive 😅 @Daniel Rodas I always like to hear your Pagero roaring but today you handled the gas so smoothly in drive and recovery that the roar came like rumble 😄 @Warren Flay 3.8L SWB pagero , power and nimble excellent driving , thanks for the help all along @topgear I didn’t hear much on the radio today tells it all , thanks for your help today as well . Well done bro 👍 @Vaibhav being in the back in such drive I believe you were enjoying to the content of your heart. Wish you speedy recovery to your hand 🙏 @James Thorn you were more than amazing not hesitating to help in any situation needed . Thanks for the assistance in fixing my pop-out along with Gregory. Hope to see you again 👍 @marks and @Pacific In the center and in the sweep respectively your presence today by all means was crucial and gave me peace of mind just knowing you are there .

@Carnity Dear friends I would like to share with you my experience in how came about and how I got my self out from what you are about to read below. Just for the one who doesn’t know me I tell you that the only place where I am super vigilant is the desert 🌵 and all my solo trips with my little one or family for a slide or quick ride had never in a time was free of one refusal here or one simple stuck there or even passing by stuck people needed help and always we got away luckily with it . .. this time no little one was with me “luckily” and I was totally alone ! Monday morning ,after a long weekend stuck in the hospital operating , I decided after I dropped the kids to school to take a detour toward Qudra my backyard my favourite and still it is 😄 for a quick spin looping most of its boarders north to south and west to east along, but this loop was meant to be completed on foot and not by car. Parallel with the pylon track and just two dunes to navigate to get to the sabkha from where I can cut short half the pylon to exit I got bogged sideway in a super soft sand when i knew i cannot make it without severely fight gravity and I came like that 👇 It was almost 9:30 am . Got down to see from all angles and surrounding. I managed to slide the car step by step ( clearing the sand walls / sliding down sequence ) and I knew that there will be a pocket waiting fro me down that I needed to take all my skills and judgment to navigate away from it tell I realised that I got a pop out of my left front tire . At this moment it was time to leave after I called my wife and my friend @Chaitanya D telling them that I am leaving my car . saving the location and after that I abounded my Xterra it was 12:30 pm almost when I left my car and within 10 min climbing few dunes I was on foot standing on the pylon track . Luckily I got a lift by one passing car to the Main Street where I got a cap to my home ….later in the evening I went back to the car with my friend Dr Chaitanya @Chaitanya D to have a look and just to realize both of us that the daylight has better and safer eyes . Thank you a ton my friend for taking all the effort and risk in the dark but most important we got back home unhurt. next day I informed Carnity seniors about the story and on Wednesday 3 pm a group lead by @Gaurav we met my self , @Hisham Masaad @Shaaz Sha @Gaurav Soni and Abdulghani ( son of Hisham ) whom they picked me up from my home place ( thank you for that 🙏🙏) and reached where my stuck car was to start an extreme recovery that ended successfully with no complications . I wish if I have a better word of sincere thank you to all of you to say it 🙏 i will leave you watch the clips for the process how we recovered the car which is better than any words Learning points 1. No matter how experience you are with all the skills and gadgets you have, unforeseen simple soft dune can turn your day upside down . I was lucky that I had half turn 😅. please don’t venture on your own is the best idea . 2. The day light has better eyes where all resources can be available. 3. Keeping cool nerves like ice when you face your self against Mother Nature and hopefully what I did was the right time in the right place ( don’t deepen in the middle of nowhere if deemed necessary solo ) 4. Analyzing the situation and giving proper feedback as accurate as possible before coming to the recovery zone. 5. Together you can do what seems impossible to be done . 6. Knowledge is power . technically I just learned that pulling the car against gravity utilizing the snatch block is so amazing. 7.it’s all about team work what bring solutions into reality .

Expected and truly deserved . Congratulations @Davie Chase 👍
