Want to find out more about driving your 4×4 off-road – and in particular on the desert sands? Then read The Desert Plunge, an excellent new eBook produced by Guild of Motoring Writers member Philip Shane.

Aimed at daring 4×4 and SUV owners who are considering tackling more challenging terrain than the local high street, the 100-page-plus publication covers everything you need to know to get started. Dubai-based motoring journalist Shane is a seasoned adventurer who loves heading off-road as often as possible – and here he shares his extensive knowledge and experience.

The guide outlines the off-roading basics and prepares you step-by-step for the excitement you’ll experience and how a 4×4 will behave in extreme conditions. Most importantly, it shows you how to be adventurous off-tarmac with a sense of safety and environmental awareness. Included is everything from tips on buying the right kind of 4×4 to dos and don’ts while driving in the desert. There is plenty of technical and maintenance advice, too, as well as a complete off-road checklist and survival guide.
