Unfortunately I need to drop due to Dr’s appointment, I have removed myself from the drive.

I would love to do Friday as an option, unfortunately it’s a working day for me. Friday afternoon or having a Sunday as a drive day would be great too. thanks for opportunity @Hisham Masaad

Congrats @GauravSoni looking forward to driving with you again

At the last adnoc now, we didn’t see much fog on the way.

See you all in the morning , myself and @Benjamin will be arriving together. We spent a good 4 hours this morning finding a garage with a spare tire for the wrangler due to metal on the road completely ripping into the still Newish tire only 10km for the house. Hoping for better luck in the morning 😀

@munkybizness get well soon, this year’s seasonal flu seems to be spreading fast.

Well done @DP1011 , Deepak wrangler

Well done @Glenn Waters see you out there

Thank you for the promotion, looking forward to learning more and working towards the next level.

Another successful morning newbie drive complete, I love that no two drives are the same and this morning’s adventure was no different with lots of refusals and stucks. The drive started with beautiful weather and sub 20c temperature, an excellent and detailed briefing as always by @Islam Soliman including toy car and miniature dune demonstrations, this is really affective in understanding what’s going on during fishtailing. The sand had an adventure in store for us, arm workouts were provided courtesy of multiple shovel times, and a reminder from our leader to us my arms not back, thanks @Islam Soliman I had one refusal in a very soft sand patch, as soon as I entered the gladiator sunk quick, as the convoy ahead was dealing with a tricky sections. I tried to crawl forward but that was not going to happen, followed by an attempt to reverse while in 4Hi but this just out me a little deeper. Jeeps have a gear box that has 2WD, 4Hi Auto, 4Hi Part time and 4 Wheel low. Before going to 4 Lo, I thought I would try 4 wheel part time which locks the front and rear driver shafts in unison, with a little gas, steering left and right in reverse I was out of the situation relatively quickly, ready to find a way round that particular soft patch. I had one more refusal that just required a reverse and re attempt. Feel like I'm getting the hang of what my car and the sand is telling me about the way it handles The remainder of the drive was a masterclass in observing how to recover vehicles, clear radio instructions, patience and teamwork. Thanks @Looper @Joseph Sebastian and the rest of the for a fun morning. P.S. I got some 360 camera video that i will be posting at some point when I have the time to review it.

Thank you @Islam Soliman I’m surprised with such a WL to be going, looking forward to seeing you all on the sand in the morning.

Watching those notifications.

Sounds like a plan. @DP1011 , Deepak wrangler 😀

Missed the sign up last night due to meetings, but I have added myself to the long 🙄 waitlist.
