@Antony Abraham it was a pleasure driving with you and @Imteeaz. You actually did well considering it was your 1st fewbie drive. The only tip I have to give is what my trainer @Frederic taught me. Always aim to reach higher ground during a slide slope by adjusting your approach angle and throttle control from the initial run to climb and not in between. The advantage is you are more in controlling the slide down on slopes. In case you slip then obey your car. That time your car is your master and not you. All other times you are the master. 2nd tip is when coming down after criss crossing a ridge always point your wheels down or minimum keep it straight never point the wheels up. That is a valuable tip from Prof @Ale Vallecchi. Don't consider it as criticizing your style of driving. You are too new to be criticized on styles. If I look at your overall style you are very good. Just a fine tune here and there you will be one with your machine. That is the time when the man and his machine will be invincible in the desert or any terrain. By the way todays drive being my 100th in the club was very special. @Tbone suddenly found a long array of rideable ridges which were not broken, not hard, not too soft - in short perfect rideable ridges. Had my fill of endless ridge riding today. I feel sorry for all those who signed out from the drive. They missed a very special drive from specialist lead @Tbone particularly on this style. You both @Imteeaz & @Antony Abraham rose to the demands of the drive and performed your best. See you soon in the sands. As you were all good at continuing the drive at a steady pace I'm sorry I don't have much pictures to post, but whatever I have will be posted by evening to the gallery.

The drive was so good and fast paced my stock car was jumping up and down through those cross tracks.

Can't even get up from bed after @Hisham Masaad's drive today or I would have brought something. Will defenitely come tomorrow

Dear @Frederic, the passion you have planted in me to explore the desert and the way you explained the basic principles of offroading is still fresh in my mind.

@Tbone its my 100th drive tomorrow with @Carnity club. It all started with @Frederic's Absolute Newbie Drive on 27th Nov 2020 supported by @sertac.

Dear @Islam Soliman, I just saw @Tareq Al Turq WL in the drive posted by @Shaaz Sha at the same time. Please check with him which drive is he joining

No way I will miss a drive posted by you and @Ale Vallecchi. I'm in unless there is an issue with the car after tomorrow's drive. If all goes well it will be my 101th drive with @Carnity club No way I will miss a drive posted by you and @Ale Vallecchi. I'm in unless there is an issue with the car after tomorrow's drive. If all goes well it will be my 101th drive with @Carnity club @Shaaz Sha please check with @Tareq Al Turq which drive is he joining. He has waitlisted for @Islam Soliman's drive too at the same time. Just noticed this now.

Dear @Islam Soliman, sorry to sign out from this drive as I already got in @Shaaz Sha & @Ale Vallecchi's drive at the same time.
