    Thank you @Looper for a great drive this morning! The wet sand and mud gave the desert a whole new character, yet you led the convoy smoothly all the way to Big Red. Thank you for your kind words and for saying I'm ready for the next level. Hearing that from you means a lot. Your drives have taught me so much, from reading the dunes to keeping the right spacing, and I'm excited for what comes next. Thanks as well for letting us help the Porsche. It was valuable recovery practice for me, and I appreciate the lesson behind your comment: rushing to help can give people false confidence. The desert should never be taken lightly, especially without the right car setup, equipment, knowledge and support. A big thank you to @Shiju Raju, @Zulfikhar Naiyar and @Andrei S for their support throughout the morning and to everyone who joined the drive. Also, the drive report with the convoy, map and speed chart is excellent! Looking forward to the next one.

    Temperature outside was 19Β° when I reached the meeting point. It was also slightly foggy. The ground seemed wet from the dew or rain from last night. It ended up being a muddy drive. The convoy moved swiftly. In the middle we made some changes to the convoy order to so that everyone is stacked up perfectly. Annoyingly someone on a Porche Cayan interjected himself into the convoy one dune before Big Red and after a while gotten himself stuck. @Andrei S, @Zulfikhar Naiyar & @Rachid recovered him. I would have left him to struggle a bit longer before helping. They should face the consequences of stupidity. I wouldn’t have made them feel help is at hand because that will give them false confidence of doing it again. I couldn't drive very slowly, because my car was making some noise in low RPM and was not getting the power in the low end. So the drive was a bit faster for few than they would have liked. I tried to keep it to the minimum possible. @Shiju Raju: You were a perfect second lead today. Keeping adequate distance. @Rory Noone: Congratulations on your first drive with Carnity. You did very well, and you passed the Carnity test with flying colors thrown at you by Andrie. Your hesitation from the start of the drive was gone by the break time and I could see you doing quite well. @Mohammad Javed: It was our second drive together and I see you as a confident driver. @Harish M: After we upped your convoy order a bit you did fantastic. Your hesitation was gone and you could navigate all the twists and turns I offered confidently. @Rachid: You are ready to take on the next level. A big thank you to @Zulfikhar Naiyar at the center forward and @Andrei S at the sweep for all the support. I would appreciate all yours' feedback on the drive. See you all in the next one. Till then take care.

    Thanks @Mark Bfor an awesome morning... Lots of learning - especially getting the hang of taller dunes and ridges - how to get on to them better.. reattempting and choosing lines based on momentum, and using a bit of steering left right to gain traction in heavily used tracks... And what lovely views... Thanks @Danie, @Thomas54675for the support in getting out of the bowl... See you all in the sand soon.

    Thank you again to all. It was really nice driving with you. And thanks for this splendid picture of the solar e-generator, which looks like a light-house in the middle of the desert, guiding us all back to a safe heaven.
