My "temporary" solution... 😅

@Ale Vallecchi thanks for a fantastic drive this morning, that we all managed the complete over 100km through the technical terrain covered is testament to your navigation skills. Proud of the LRDG sticker, my grandfather was a navigator in the LRDG during WW2 in North Africa. 

How interesting, I had no idea about the LRDG ( like probably most people ), thinking the SAS invented the long range vehicles patrols...

Thanks to the sticker I got to read the wikipedia 😅

Thanks @Ale Vallecchi, I love the exploration drives!

Sadly I can't do my first fb+ Saturday 😢

Congrats!!! 👌

Congrats!!! 👌

Nothing spectacular in this first video 😇

My first fewbie drive back in January going to the Yellow Truck.

Looper please write about your workflow, planning to upgrade to a 360 at some point....

the drive will become history as twenty-popout'th February drive...

I saw how many of you guys tried to tackle out the way across the wet puddle when entering Qudra area - why not going across it? I did ... both ways. The 12-year old in me was very happy. The car wash guys were not pleased...

 

 

I did! after seeing you going through 🤣

@Davie Chase

Just to confirm, is this the right place?

Dear Gaia gurus, I recently started recording tracks and I found that after driving for a couple of hours if we do a long break, when I come back to the car (using a dedicated phone with no sim) I find the app stopped recording and the track was saved automatically.

I was able to merge the tracks editing the gpx files but it is a pain to remember to pause/resume the recording...

Is this normal behaviour?  Am I missing something?

PS this is not a dunebashing drive, as we will be mostly using farm-tracks to drive in the area due to lots of vegetation. The aim is to enjoy the scenery, make unforgettable photos, and do some gentle wadi driving  

Any chance to share the gpx track after the drive?? 😇

@Aser @Salim Akhtar @Sandeep Nayar @Guido Ferriani @Nizar Shawwa @Andrew John Melvill @GabrielH @Wilfredo Perez and @TIMMY you have been moved to RSVP. Please confirm if you still like to join this drive.

I confirm 👌

Big thank you to @Asif Hussain it was an EPIC first drive for me as fewbie, the whole family and the dogs had a great time!

It was a pleasure to drive with you all, special thanks to @PAJERO petelczyc luke for his great support a couple of times we got into trouble 😅

After the first few dunes I have to say I had almost shaking and sweaty hands 🤣. We really enjoyed descending the big dunes with the "singing sand" 👌

We can't wait for the next "exploration drive"!

Nice! Be extra careful in Liwa terrain as the handling will be somewhat different 

Could you elaborate a bit as it will be my first time there and I also have a lifted car?

Nice @aser !

Lets go some fewbie drives soon!

Too bad I'm busy the 29/30 I can't wait for the new year!

I got my 2018 Jeepers edition second hand (just for the looks and price) and recently when visiting another jeep garage they showed me how Jeepers didn't install an adjustable track bar when doing the lift kit and the result is what you see in the picture.

I was less than happy to find out... just based on that I would not recommend them.

@Aser yes I had the same unfortunately.

It is very weird, even when I open the link in the computer it opens google maps pointing to a different place.

But now I went to try again on the phone and it is showing the right place, may be because I updated the app... 🤷‍♂️

To avoid problems like this may be we could post the actual gps coordinates.

Sorry @Ale Vallecchi , I was really looking forward to this practice drive.

Regards!

Sorry I went to the wrong location 😤

I don't know my phone sent me to this location and after arriving and not seen anyone when open the link in my wife phone it shows we are 48 min from the right one 🤦🤦🤦
