Thankyou all for joining me in my exploration of the amazing dunes of AD. @Gertjan @Jaro Tuzinsky @Waqas Parvez @Mario Cornejo @DP1011 @ASAD. @Benjamin @Chris Wing @Zed @Looper@Vaibhav We had some amazing time driving through some of the most beautiful area comprising of technical, Ridges, Soft patches, Long climbs , side slopes and everyone responded so well to the challenge. It was a great team effort to get @Vaibhav jeep restored with some magic trick by @Zed!!! i had my fair share of stucks requiring a tug and then a winch by @Looper while everyone drove exceptionally ( almost flawlessly). Thanks @DP1011 @Mario Cornejo and @Looper for brilliant support. it was a pleasure to see and hear the engines roar @Waqas Parvez @ASAD. @Mario Cornejo. i hope you all had fun as It was fun leading a super strong convoy! until next time! see you all in sand!!

Drive Plan: Welcome to the 3rd edition of the Skill drive series - Technical Terrain Transit - Part 3. If you enjoy cruising through the Technical Dunes and are not afraid to put your limits to test, you have come to the right place! Latitude and longitude have been used in astronomy and navigation since ancient times. By calculating the angle between the horizon and a celestial object (usually the sun or the North Star), navigators could determine their approximate latitude using basic tools. Lines of latitude, also called parallels, are imaginary lines that divide the Earth. They run east to west, but measure your distance north or south. The equator is the most well known parallel. At 0 degrees latitude, it equally divides the Earth into the Northern and Southern hemispheres. From the equator, latitude increases as you travel north or south, reaching 90 degrees at each pole. There are other named lines of latitude. They’re based on the sun’s position during Earth’s orbit, and they help us understand climate, weather, and ocean currents. The Tropic of Cancer, at roughly 23 degrees north, and the Tropic of Capricorn, at roughly 23 degrees south, are the boundaries of what we consider the tropics. The Arctic Circle and the Antarctic Circle are at roughly 66 degrees north and south, respectively. They mark the boundaries of the Arctic and Antarctic regions. Using GPS to determine the Latitude and Longitude, we can pin point the exact location on the surface of the Earth. We use Inbuilt GPS on our mobile devices or standalone dedicate GPS devices to find these coordinates and mark our positions / waypoints on a track. Our intention of the drive will be to follow the 24.8 degree latitude ( hence the name of the drive) moving EAST to WEST ( Murquab to Qudra Solar Park) navigating the most technical patch of desert. What to EXPECT: Tight Corners / Hard Right - Hard Left / Shoveling Shoveling Shoveling!!! What NOT to Expect : High Flying Dunes / Fast pace / long range climbs / 6000 RPM!

Thanks for the video @Gerrit Bus all the best ! hope to see you soon in sand!

Amazing shot @Gertjan!!! Waiting for more !!! (Gallery is open!)

I appreciate your maturity to understand the intent… thanks @Naveen Raj.. you can remove your rsvp yourself from the calendar “going “ tab…

Also I am seeing that your last drive was in February this year which is quite a gap to resume with an IM especially with a change in vehicle.. Being an IM, you would surely understand the sync required on these high level drives between the man and the machine.. Unless you have been off-roading regularly in last couple of months, I would strongly advise you to join a lower level drive to get back in groove. There are FB +level drive available for this week with open slots u can join in
