those 2 hours sleep could be the difference here.

Totally agree, even if its power nap helps a lot in pushing ourself for 4-5 hours.

it feels better being tired than feeling a sense of under achievement

Lovely, cant be explained better

Thanks @Janarthanmy first fewbie plus drive in that terrain which was surprising for me with tall dunes, bowls, criss crossing and ridging. It was pleasure to follow your track. I thank all the friends and support team who joined the drive and made it a fun drive. Looking for more such drive. Apologies for delayed response. See you all soon again!!!

Maybe it's time to add a roof tent to the next Pajero upgrades. 

Even without tent we camped at meeting point over night!!!! Nothing can stop us 😜

@Frederic it was a great exploration drive, worth coming from Sharjah. Guess I have to shift my home near Abudhabi border. Nice terrain narrow technical dunes, exploring the length of the terrain for much longer duration will be good to try in winter.

Thanks to all the friends and support team for joining the drive and making it a wonderful, exciting, joyful ride. See you all again soon, till then have a nice week.

I'm thinking of getting a full underbody skid-plate next... just in case our Marshals ask to cross a "railway" again 😂😂😂

Be happy for the battle scars even before it started😐😐😐. You are much better than me, I have damaged my side step and scratches underbelly badly.

Thanks @Anish S for the wonderful track, smooth drive, challenging enough and exiting on time. Thanks to entire convoy for the drive and support. Very enjoyable drive to start the morning, very relaxing and at the same time very exciting. Getting addicted to @Anish S drives.  Hope every one enjoyed as I did. See you all soon till then have a nice week ahead.

Congrats @Ishraque

Congrats @Chinthaka Ruwan

Dr. @Chaitanya D & bro @Lakshmi Narasimhan, you both inspired and ignited the passion for my drives! 

Its nice to hear that I was also one of your inspiration. Now you have forced me to be more responsible and sensible.

Congrats @Nihal17

Congrats @Zed well deserved

Congrats @Farouq Owdeh

Congrats @PaoloMaraziti

Congrats @Charbel

See you all tomorrow!!!

@Gaurav thanks for adding me to the newbie drive even though it was a back to back one for me. I had chance to take good rest in between at the meeting point and most importantly I never felt tired or fatigue even for a second during the drive and post drive recovery.

I was not completely satisfied with one aspect in todays drive!!! Kathim terrain offered very nice dunes and I was tempted to take the ridges after seeing them so sharp and virgin, hope I will be taken for riding on those ridges asap!!!! Abudhabi terrains are truly beautiful and today was no exception as you can see in the few snaps posted.

Your clear briefing, appearing in no time for all the support needs and rolling the sleeves to get into action and explaining what went wrong and what should have been done are true blessing to newbies. If social gathering was allowed I wonder how much more learning is on the store for every one in the convoy.

@Zed you were amazing in the sweep. Keep enjoying these opportunities!!!

As @Wrangeldand @Chaitanya D insist I truly realized the amount of learning on much lower level drives and specifically with relatively fresh newbie drivers and the immense joy in sharing/passing the knowledge gained till date. Thanks to them and all my leads/seniors for channelizing  my focus in the right direction.

I could see the newbies and relate how I was less experienced at that stage when compared to todays newbies. They all really performed very well, I am very much happy for them.

Thanks to carnity for making even me as an off-roader to this extent, if not the best at my level. Thanks @Gauravfor trusting me for CF position even on a newbie drive and grooming under your watchful eye and with full safety. Looking forward to much more learning and fun.

@Srikumar thanks for the wonderful drive, throughly enjoyed. My waiting to join your drive in Sweihan  proved really worthy and I throughly enjoyed. Mix of everything with brisk pace made it experience like more than FB + drive(wish its officially counted as one). 
@Lorenzo Candelpergher was as usual wonderful as fly sweep.
@Gaurav Soni hope your car fixed asap. 
Thanks to entire convoy for making it full of fun and feels happy to make more friends from Abudhabi!!!

I am good to travel with PCR result reflecting properly, all set, waiting to see you all.
