Thanks all for joining the drive this morning. And especially to @Emanuel for supporting my 2nd partial lead. We made some good distance, starting near 3 trees, flowing through some nice long range dunes mixed in with some technical patches through to a play area. Unfortunately it was really busy with 3 other convoys and a few single cars also there. We had a short play but left as it was too busy. We then made our way through to the secret garden via some more technical areas, and some tracks. Despite the sand being soft we had a good mix of long range dune flow, ridge riding practice and a few simple criss crosses. As the temp hit 40 we exited 🤪 All in a good way to enjoy a sunday morning. Great driving from the newer FB drivers @Mountain and @Lazy Frog especially with your calm reactions when coming off one of the ridges. We had great support from @J-P L and @Mahesh_.last but not least we had good company and driving from @Hartzel, @khurramm and @_Herman_.

By steering down you absolutely nailed one of the principal rules: “no fighting gravity”. Good choice! (Also, I love that I now know I can post GIFs!!)

Gents, always a pleasure to share those morning times with you, i enjoyed a lot today, after a break of around 4 weeks out of the sand, the back was amaizing! Thanks all @Sam Selim, @Frederic and @Sebastian Nohse

Good day everyone, Thank you to @Andrew John Melvill & @Emanuel for leading the drive today, for @J-P L & @Mahesh_ for your support, and everyone that joined me for my first Fewbie drive. It was good to test my new vehicle's capabilities and got some good advice all round. Now I have a better idea what modifications needs to be made to keep with the pace. Apologies for my refusal on one of the ridges and @Lazy Frog who followed me into a perculiar position. Reflection is the key to experience building and you can see from the attached clips both my Dash view and Rear view. Unfortunately I was only able to upload a GIF file type on here so the quality is not that great. There are two learning points from my refusal: Firsly, I did not apply sufficient power getting onto the dune; and Secondly, most importantly, I was positioned to far to the right of the leading tracks which led my centre of gravity over the slipface. Getting to know my vehicle, I was not confident to power back onto the dune and decided early on to make an escape. The escape procedure could also be improved by maintaining my momentum so not to get stuck in the powder soft sand at the bottom. However, I was able to perform a self-recovery with the awesome encouragement from @J-P L. Thank you to @Lazy Frog for maintaining composure in the face of having a refusal himself. Hope to see you all again on the sand!

@Andrew John Melvill @khurramm thank you both

No worries 👍 there will always be a next time. Hope you feel better soon.

@Riyad get well soon!

@Andrew John Melvill @Emanueli apologize as I will need to drop out. I am still recovering from an illness and got a bit worse today unfortunately. See you on the next one hopefully Sorry i just realised i typed out the message but did not press send

Thanks @Emanuel @Andrew John Melvill @J-P L @Mahesh_ and the rest of the convoy for an enjoyable drive today with the right amount of everything.

Sounds like a fun drive. I need to get a human clone. My car clone already has 2 options!🤣

Brilliant drive this morning @Chema @Sam Selimthank you for leading today, it was a pleasure following your lines, @Frederic as always thank you for all the wisdom and advice !! Seb over and out on summer break see you mid August 😎👍

What a lovely drive this was! At the deflation point @Chema was looking a bit worried as he was joined by Jeeps only this morning, but what a performance you've put on! While my Jeep was having hiccups, your 212 just pushed through and didn't break a sweat! Fantastic lead by @Sam Selim who is completely and entirely ready for leading any convoy. Your gentle approach, comms, and looking out for all of us was exactly what we love in our leads. Looking forward to many mores drives together! @Sebastian Nohse that roar from the back used to be a Raptor, but now it's a 392 that roars even louder! Brilliant sweep duties on this beautiful morning drive where we started off at 26C Celsius. By the time we exited we were closer to 40C but the drive style and convoy made sure we kept a good flow and the cars could keep breathing. See you all soon in the sand again!

A couple of attempts to climb the famous nayagra dunes! Can recall every moment!

Looking forward to see you guys tomorrow

Great to hear. See you in the morning.

@Emanuel it's fine now. Transmission was stuck but got it fixed now. Thanks for asking

@khurramm how is your car running now?

Hi @Emanuel, @Mountain, @Lazy Frog, @Riyad, @J-P L, @Hartzel, @khurramm, @_Herman_ and @Mahesh_ Really looking forward to having you all join my 2nd partial lead. A big thanks to Emanuel for his support, we will be alternating the lead duties during the drive.
