Dear Dune surfers! @Tharun Kumar V @Glenn W @premindra rajaram @Krishna R @Pranjal Varsani1 welcome to the midweek chill drive! I plan to start moving by 6.30 am sharp with intention to catch-up with morning sunrise views at 7 am between the dunes.. we shall decide the convoy order and radio channel tomorrow morning. you can reach me on 0545564213 in case of any emergency. See you tomorrow!

Brilliant explanation @Zed… when I watch docs dashcam footage and then the footage from your vantage, I believe that docs car was at a greater angle to the ridge..I mean that the car wasn’t parallel to the ridge when he reached the crossover point. He corrected the steering to align with the ridge at last moment which resulted in the back going over the other side faster than the front and hence the slip up… it is evident that the ridge came sooner than expected.. (as I see from the dashcam) it was not very clear where the ridge actually starts… it was pure skill and instinct from docs experience that he corrected the move Just in time… 👏👏 @M.Seidam

Congratulations @Andrew McCarthy!!! You will enjoy the new level! Well deserved buddy!

Let's aim to cross the Liwa Crescent from one side to another. To experience the magic of Rub’ al Khali (Empty Quarter) the largest uninterrupted desert on Earth! The Liwa Crossing through Empty Quarter offers a chance to witness nature in its purest form and in itself is a transcendent experience. However, traveling through the largest desert in the world is not something that should be taken lightly. It will be a 150 - 200 km off-road drive covered within 1.5 days through amazing breathtaking views and the enormous size of dunes on earth. What you will find here: Tallest sand dunes (200 - 300 meters) Steepest incline and drops Longest side sloping Broad ridge riding Faster heartbeat Sweaty hands Mandatory rules for Liwa Crossing (exceptional) drive. Considering its seriousness to keep you and your vehicle safe, these strict rules will be applied to all. If you are newly promoted to Intermediate (less than 2 drives at new level), then please choose Fewbie or Fewbie Plus. If you were away on a long break (more than 2 months), then please choose Fewbie or Fewbie Plus. It is highly recommended to drive alone, as it's a very serious and demanding drive to stay focused at all times. Maximum of one passenger allowed - No exceptions and trip lead will send you back. Make sure that passenger has no fear of heights, motion sickness and have been to full-day off-road drives before. As once we enter the desert, the only way out is from the other side, without any early exits for 100-150 kms. Everything in your car should be strapped and secured - All vehicles will be checked by the trip lead. Drive Preparation: Your car should be in 100% pristine working condition, so double or triple check everything. Full-size spare tire with a lug wrench to match your wheel nut size and its depth. For aftermarket rims - Your lug wrench also needs to match the wheel nut depth. As it's a long full-day drive, so catch up with enough sleep in advance. 5-10 liter of water per person. Snacks for breakfast, lunch, dinner and next day breakfast. Keep your car as light as possible by packing what is truly essential. Fully charged radio with spare battery and all other required off-road gears. Gas tank and required number of jerry cans should be full upon arrival.
