@Hardik Mody don't feel sad or embarrassed. This doesn't show you are a poor driver. We are all in the learning process to drive on sand. If we don't encounter these situations how would we learn? Remember Richard @Wrangeld played the part of a good Samaritan to rescue a Patrol which got crested and stuck? We joined the club so that we can learn how not to be in that situation in the middle of a desert. In due course of time after some more drives you will learn the finesse of throttle control which @Rahimdad had been preaching to me about from day 1. Don't feel sad about this picture, instead practice more and more by participating in more drives if you have the time and interest. You could have seen me lot of times in this situation when I joined the club. I believe I drive very well on tarmac. Only once I felt bad about being stuck like this. @Frederic congratulated me that I got myself stuck and was encouraging me by teaching ways how to self recover. You haven't seen me dug deep in soft sand on a drive with Richard @Wrangeld and he insisted that I self recover by the crawl out method. Apparently it took 15 min then and lot of help in shovelings from @Chaitanya D and @Kailas but taught me a valuable lesson. Today I made use of it very successfully when I almost got stuck from a refusal and could self recover. My advise to you is get stuck more and more so that you will learn.

So I will be supporting Indiana Jones and not Sherlock Holmes. 😃

Its ok for me as I have 2 drives this weekend already. I think its better if I head back home and take some rest in the afternoon as I need to do the mystery seeks on Saturday with you and with @Ale Vallecchi. Still its a mystery whose convoy I'm in. Both of you are equally favorite marshal's to drive with.

@Wrangeld as the list is finalized and I'm not on the list this means I couldn't be included? Its ok for me as I have the mystery drive with you and @Ale Vallecchi on Saturday and probably I need the rest after the fewbie morning drive with you.

who will be Sherlock and who will be Dr. Watson in this mystery?

Last time I joked with @Shehab Alawadhi about his new kinetic rope and shackles and offered my car to inaugurate them it really happened as I got the 1st and my only stuck during that drive with @Foxtrot Oscar within 15 minutes of starting the drive. This time I'm silent.

Really sorry @Luca Palanca Falsini. I was thinking this drive was in the afternoon and I had already RSVP'ed for the drive with @Wrangeld same day morning. Because of business meetings and drives are now a days aplenty gets confused which and when. Love to drive with you but on another occasion.
