Drive Report

These chilly winter mornings are definitely something to look out for, and in the company of such an amazing group this makes it even better!

Like i mentioned in the briefing there are so many different types of drives. I could describe this drive as a hands-on drive where all of you could showcase and practice your skills and where some shoveling, wiggling, and pushing was involved.

We took off in the larger dunes this area had to offer and made our way further East with the intention to find some clean virgin dunes which we eventually found closer to the exit track. On the way there we had to cross some mild technical dunes that came with some crests, refusals, and stucks, but for a convoy this size nothing too serious. 

With an excellent second lead @frederic demolder, followed by a few Pajeronitees (is that a word ?), @Sai Baskaran @Nikola Bozovic and @Mike Kraher who are coming to grips with the fact that the Pajero truly is a capable off-roader in the right hands and at the right psi.  Well done guys ! 

Friends @Bala Krishnan and @Santhosh kumar Rajasekaran who both drove well. Unfortunately towards the end the Range Rover decided to act up a bit, and disconnecting the battery a few times did the trick to get it starting again. As the engine was in limp mode most of the time i can imagine it wasn’t easy to try to unleash the full V8 potential. 
 

@Sanjay Malik who has been off-roading before felt really at both with the beautiful Land Cruiser, and @Paul Zeitoun took the Dodge Ram to new heights and lows with massive power and beautiful roars on the dunes. Well done !

We had a very capable Wrangler crew with @Aus Alzubaidi @Nihal17 @Luca Bregni but also some serious girlpower with @Sara EL FANIDI and @Kaile Barrameda 

Glad to see you back in the saddle Sara, you drove with full confidence today !

A big shoutout to @Mukundan Nair who decided to support this drive and was an amazing help to all of us. Thanks buddy !

See you guys and gals soon back in the sand !

 

thanks @Frederic: After last weeks drive i really started questioning my ability and my car. Today was fantastic  thanks for your kind words and for making me feel better .. see you soon  

HI Gaurav.. Thanks for letting me know. unfortunately I have to cancel the drive then as I already tried to borrow one form others... Thanks and see you soon

For this Absolute Newbie drive its fine, but get them before the next drive as on Newbie drive: Radio, Shovel, Flag and Emergency kit is must.

Already ordered  waiting for aramex delivery 🤯

Good evening all, sorry to contribute to the problems, but although I tried to organise a pole flag I was not able to get one. I ordered one from Amazon and it should be delivered by next week. So at the moment I do not have a flag. 
 

is this an unsolvable issue, or can I join without one?

Hello all I watched the video and already ordered some of the things requested but some items might not be delivered until friday. 

Is it possible to borrow a radio from you? Same for the pole flag.
