Once again its a great opportunity for me to meet and greet Carnity members.

Thank you @Gaurav Bhai to initiate this particular Desert training session, i'm always up to learn and accept new challenges.
I tried so hard to buy 4X4 through out the week, found few of them and short listed with the great advises from the one and only desert King @RahimdadBhai, will soon select one.
unfortunately don't have a 4X4 now, please advise the availability so that i can join. 8-)

Off course Basit, you are more than welcome anytime. Rahim bhai was sharing some of your 4x4 hunting details with me and I'm happy that you are choosing second car as a weekend warrior. Smart thinking.

Alright guys, looks like we already have full house turn out now. This shows that we have enough car enthusiast's who have been bitten with sand bug in the past and want to graduate their skills further. And I'm equally excited as every one of you.

This desert training is always a kind of wish list training for me and Rahim bhai, that we wish someone has done it for us when we were learning and new in desert. We could have learn and understood the stuff faster in one or two drive than learning from our failures over multiple drives. And I strongly urge and request everyone to learn and pass on same in the future to help others.

Plan for tomorrow is divided in 5 waypoints as below, just to keep everyone updated:

  1. Mahafiz Training Entrance - Intro + theory
  2. Mahafiz medium dunes - theory + practical
  3. Mahafiz Sabka - Breakfast + theory + fun stuff
  4. Mahafiz long range - Drive + practical
  5. Mahafiz tall dunes - Adrenaline drive and exit

Please bring your camping chairs if you have so that we can sit over the breakfast and run theory session.
