Bring some extra food, just in case

Congratulations to @Michael asir for the support badge 🫡.

The drive today was straightforward yet exciting: the mission was to steal the legendary Criss Cross Train and bring it all the way to Qudra. Wes started the morning strong, setting the tone for the day. A big thank you to the team for arriving on time, getting tires deflated, and flags raised so we could start the briefing at 6:30 sharp. From the very first climb, everyone lined up beautifully, creating that perfect long desert train that moved like a single creature across the dunes. We had several stations lined up for today’s adventure, and the team did an outstanding job visiting almost all of them. The only one we had to skip was the Qudra Secret Dunes, simply because time wasn’t on our side. Overall, the route was about 85% smooth 😅 and thoroughly enjoyable, with each stop adding its own flavor to the experience. At one point, we crossed a technical patch with bushes because I decided to cut short the path to reach the second station faster, and you all handled it effortlessly. Thanks to our solid second lead today @Frans M, responded to every instruction perfectly. Your initiative to continuously inform the situation to the convoy was very big help to me to focus on finding the safe line. Really appreciate that. @Nicolò, great control, steady and smooth. @vinayak n, you brought a lot of energy and fun to the drive today, giving us the perfect opportunity to practice safe recovery techniques. @Mei Ling, your progress on switching the ridge was clearly visible today, great job handling those transitions with confidence! Our ever-busy support @J-P L, as always, handled refusals and stuck situations with super calm and a touch of fun, especially when it came to "I have to give you a tug!"🤣 @Lala G Thanks for that documentation and feedbacks 🙏 , you missed the last fun part where we learn to climb from slip face and switch because you have to exit 30 min before. The IM gang at the back @Sherry Jacob @Abhishek Chikara and @Faraz94, hope you enjoy today's drive 🫡. @Abhishek Chikara, I can see the different from our last drive in little Sweihan. better control. Before the last climb, you decided to steer down very smoothly without fishtailing. well done. The freeman today @Glenn W, thanks for making sure no body left behind. You show us the nice line during the last climb.. and also the freestyle moment on the first station during the second break 🤣. After all, we didn’t really steal the train, we just borrowed it from its rightful owner, @Varun Mehndiratta, Now we’re eagerly waiting for the day when the owner takes the wheel and give us for a ride! Until then, we might just borrow it again and bring it all the way to Nahel. 😉

Get well soon @Mahesh_ See you soon on the sand@JAISROCK @Mahesh_

Hi @Deepak Eswar, Thanks for letting me know. See you on soon on the sand. Hi @lucas amat you are moved to going?

Hi @Abhishek Chikara, When we think of Qudra or Lisaili, vegetation and forests come to mind 😅. For the train route, we need to find a track that runs mostly through clean dunes. There may be a few areas we can’t avoid.

Hello Desert Explorer @Mei Ling @Lala G @Abhishek Chikara @Glenn W @Nicolò @Faraz94 @vinayak n @JAISROCK @Sherry Jacob @lucas amat Thank you for joining the drive tomorrow. Looking forward to seeing all of you on the sand and building our criss-cross train together. A big shoutout to the support team @Frans M @J-P L @Mahesh_ @Dodi Syahdar. Your guidance, eyes on the dunes, and calm voice will keep the convoy running smooth. And those who ended up on the waiting list @[email protected] @Rk ram @khlief, My apologies. If it is Fb, I may extend a bit. There will be more drives coming and more trains to steal. Hope to see you in the next one 🙏. I will post convoy order soon.

No worries at all @Andrei S, thanks for letting me know! Hopefully, we can catch up on the next drive. Enjoy Friday night!

Hi @Andrei S, I have moved you to the manage. Thanks for supporting.

Congratulations @Carl Stanley. Enjoy the new level 🔥

DRIVE DESCRIPTION Hello Desert Explorers, Once upon a dune, back in 20th of April 2023, I joined @Varun Mehndiratta's legendary Criss-Cross Train from Qudra to Lisaili. @Looper and @DP1011 were there to keep the train safe as platoon leaders. It was a beautiful chaos of side slopes, crossings, and few "where is the track?" momments. Now it's payback time.. I am hijacking that same train, turning the train around, and driving it back to Qudra! 🚄 🌬️ We will start from the Lisaili side and make our way toward the Qudra. We will park the train at Qudra secret garden. Expect flowing ridges, zig zag, and dunes that like to test both your throttle and your patience. Hop aboard the stolen criss-cross express! let's bring the train without derailing it.
