I know its not the recommended strategy, but in our case given never ending last minute stuff and lack of seat/run-in time in the vehicle with latest modifications (oil cooler, double shocks) we decided to go expedition style and take whatever comes our way. We left at around 10 am at night and showed up at Bahawalpur sometime around mid-day and following tech, we managed to make it to Camp Saidhi just before sunset.
Trusted recce vehicle that CJ7 Baltoro, out for another adventure and another good bash(eer)ing...
At Ahmedpur East, last minute shopping for food items etc.
When everything is relative, the rear seat of a CJ7 is not that bad a place to take a nap. Our main driver and pit crew chief Siddique taking a well deserved break after a full night of driving...
Getting close to Derawar, via some funky back roads....
Finally managed to locate Camp Saidhi some 6 kms down the race track. We were greeted by Akib Bhai and Usama...
