Looking forward to this one @Gaurav! I have my parents visiting and would love to show them Pink Rock!

I completely echo what both @Frederic and @Mike M. said. One of the main reasons I got into 4x4ing was because I grew up on family camping trips—long drives into the unknown to reach untouched, pristine corners of nature. Now that I’m older, I want to relive that feeling and hopefully pass it on to my future kids one day, continuing that tradition for generations. As a sailor too, I’ve always tried to tread lightly and go off the beaten path, exploring places few get to see. I think the “drive for a purpose” idea is a brilliant initiative. I originally got into off-roading to sharpen my skills and get to know my vehicle inside and out. But I’ve never been drawn to racing up and down dunes or “surfing” across their faces at speed. For me, it’s always been about two things: soaking in the natural beauty around us, and enjoying the community that comes with it. That said, I absolutely live for our weekly club drives—swapping stories, connecting with both new and familiar faces, and just being part of this awesome group. Some “purposeful driving” ideas that come to mind: an overland trip to Oman, a Wadi camp-out, or even a stargazing night under the Milky Way out at Al Quaa. The list goes on!

@DP1011 count me in too!

Amazing afternoon drive all! I thoroughly enjoyed it, from the free flowing dunes, to the short and technical ones, I loved every second! Great lead @Simon D! And thanks for the support @Gaurav @Ishak & @Looper!
