Another memorable drive :-BD :-BD :-BD
Thank you guys for the great company and wonderful drive at an extremely tough terrain in wet sands 😮 Yesterday’s heavy down pour had made the drive really challenging and tricky. Therefore indeed it was a great drive from you all to reach Ghost Town as per plan and could also reach Tawi Nazwa in time for the training drive.
Kudos to you all Ashok,Amjed,Jayesh,Rob & Tyn :ymapplause: :ymapplause: :ymapplause:

Saif – FJMeeting time 7.30 am Emirates Petrol station Lahbab, as scheduled everyone gathered at the meeting point and left for deflation point after Tawi Nazwa and Saif joined at deflation point, after briefing by Satwinder Lead and convoy arranged , we started towards Pyramids-iftarbowl-superbowl-ghost town and exited at Madam.
Excellent lead by Satwinder, very fast pace, the sand was wet and very soft , satwinder as know to be “Catch me if you can” once again led one of the challenging & tricky tracks, did some of the best side cresting, side sloping ,big dune up & down catching up with the pace of the lead marshal, but as I said its very hard to get hold of Satwinder, had some small hiccups but sorted in no time, Jayesh’s monster was roaring all the way , all Patrol were like cutting a piece of cake and as usual jeepers at the top .
However it was one of the best drives I was waiting for to drive with Satwinder , accompanied by Kashmir singh who gave us a glimpse of his drive taste too.
Thanks to Kumar for arranging this memorable drive and all the driver did the best to cope up with Satwinder and I hope it was upto the expectations of the marshals as it was a very selective drive.
Thanks to Satwinder,Kumar, Kashmir Singh,Robinson, Ashok, Tyn & Saif a wonderful combination to the drive and did learn a lot during today’s drive 😮 how to fix a popout!
Thanks to all once again and specially to DO for having us such ppl around us .
:thanks: :drive:

To All superiors,
I would like to request you all if you don’t want any member to join any drive (that you think he/she is not capable of) then pls mention it in 1st instance. Please do not wait till the last moment.

DukeDear Duke,
In consultation with the drive lead, it was decided to reduce the number of heavy cars and convoy size considering the difficulty of the planned route. It was a practical decision, purely for the sake of the drive and for the safety of the participants. We regret if it had created any kind of inconvenience to anybody. We expect and hope the members shall understand in its true spirit, the genuine reason behind such decisions.
However, the drive post was modified well in advance, informing that the meeting point will be sent only to the selected participants among the registered members. Therefore the drive registration remains unconfirmed till receiving the meeting point. Still, we have communicated the decision and also explained the above reason to all unselected registered members.
This season DO have already planned for a bunch of specific drives, which will definitely cater to the taste of different skill levels. We are very sure that each and every member will get ample drive options of their interest. Please do not get upset on such decisions, which are always for the benefits of members. Instead, keep looking for the upcoming drive options and drive safe.
Dear Kumar,
I do not wish to debate on this topic on DO forum… And thanks to you and lead for considering our well being.
Rgds,
Duke

After all we are offroaders and all kinds of unexpected hazzles, hiccups & hurdles are always part of this game.
Look forward for many more great drives with you mate… :-BD :-BD :-BD

DukeI agree with you vicky…some of our lead Marshals are very considerate 😉 .
And you are right ….this forum is not the right place to debate.
And kumarji…you should be made as the “spokesperson” of the DO family…well explained in a very polite manner. :thanks:
Look forward driving under your lead soon 🙂

It was a very nice drive and amazing to see a “different” face of the desert.
What about moving DO headquarters do Ghost Town or Village?
Thanks to all!
