Get well soon Andy..We will miss you and your cute daughter…
I just came back from Tour, so will try to attend.
It is always pleasure to drive with SIR and today was my first time to drive with SIR as sweep and the best Newbee drive so far done.
I will leave the report to other members to post their adventure today.
Nice winters morning drive among the Dunes, thanks to Kumar, Gerry, Tanseer & Amjed (I think!)
cheers
What an amazing drive in such beautiful weather.
We met at 800 am at the tawi shops. There were so many cars so took a while to get sorted out. Kumar sir and Thanseer sir split the convoys. There were 2 newbie convoys. I got a chance to follow Thanseer sir in his convoy.
What an exhilarating ride. I had family friends visiting me from DR Congo and they had a fabulous time. It was perfect as it was a newbie drive so they enjoyed without many stuck ups.
Halfway into the drive apparently there were 2 pajeros that got stuck so both the newbie convoys met up and waited while the marshals and sweeps recovered them. This took about 40 minutes.
From then on Thanseer sir started the drive again and as we gained momentum and speed he led us through some interesting tracks which provided fun challenge for all us newbies. We had some minor stucks and failed attempts at climbing some dunes, but nothing serious.
Overall a fun learning experience.
Here is the intermediate drive report:
Area Pyramids/Badayer
Goal: Reaching all the peaks
Drive: Was Fun with good company
Challenges: Wet sand + 1 pop-out + 1 double pop-out + 3 stucks

Hello DO, i had just discovered your website yesterday afternoon and here’s my gratitude after my first drive this morning.
What a day this has been, fantastic weather, great company and a well organized drive. Got to thank Kumar and Tushar for accommodating my request over the phone even before my DO login was activated.
Tanseer and Amjad for leading our convoy through some great workout drives, the newbee clan that i had for company and the great outdoors.Thank you
Tom
Buddy Thomas,,
YOu were driving excelently….. looking forward to see you in drives ahead.
Beautiful winter morning and an awesome weather for offroad adventure!!! :-BD
It was a very good gathering of more than 20 cars at Tawi Nazwa and lot of new faces :-BD 🙂 Few scheduled members for this drive couldn’t make up to the meeting point in time and there were few surprise turn ups as well. Accordingly we made few quick convoy changes and by sharp 8.30am Khalil departed with the intermediate convoy to explore Area 53 and the 2 newbee convoys proceed together to the deflation point for Pink Rock.
After a detailed newbee drive briefing and technical demonstration by Thanseer the newbee convoys were split into two. Convoy 1 was led by Thanseer with Amjed at sweep and Convoy 2 with myself at lead and Gerry at sweep and both convoys were supposed to meet at Pink Rock.
Brian, Minaz, Aymen, Dhaval, Ajay, Gerry and myself were the second convoy. We took the safe and easy newbee route to pink rock. All cars reached the common meeting point at Pink Rock easily except Dhaval and Ajay in LWB Pajero, literally struggling to manage the high dunes near to pink rock. Both me and Gerry were at real task to get both cars safely out of the bowl area and to join the waiting cars of both convoys at the common meeting point. No worries, it all part of the learning process and we really appreciate both of you guys for remaining cool and for not trying anything stupid creating safety concerns :ymapplause: :ymapplause: :ymapplause: I hope now with the expert advises of our marshals, you guys understood your toys better :-BD 🙂 Thanking all other members for the patience to wait for us to regroup.
Return drive was having good momentum and everybody managed the dunes with greater confidence and skill – all experience and confidence gained during the onward drive came to use for the return drive to Tawi ;;) 🙂 We reached first at Tawi Nazwa followed by Thanseer’s convoy. Was really happy to see all smiling faces 🙂 Confirmed the intermediate convoy finished the drive successfully at Badayer, inflated and headed home having the entire half day in hand for family requirements :-BD :-BD :-BD
Geerrryyyyy!!! you are the man of the day :ymhug: :ymhug: :ymhug: Hats off to you buddy for the untiring support and tips to the learning colleagues :ymapplause: :ymapplause: :ymapplause: I am always at comfort and relaxed, whenever you are my partner in the convoy 😉 :ymblushing:
I think Mr. & Mrs.Brian had a good competition among themselves to prove who is a better driver…. 😀 Both of you did a very good job :ymapplause: Minaz and Aymen were really driving good, controlled driving. Very happy for you Minaz for having your first accident free offroad drive with us 😉 I have noticed both Dhaval and Ajay managing their machines in a much better way during the last phase of the drive, good job guys, keep it up :-BD.
Next weekend many of us will be away for Gulf News Fun Drive, however see you all very soon again in sands 🙂 🙂 🙂 :drive: :drive: :drive:
