Thanks to @Jeepie @Wrangeld and @Emmanuel for leading us through dune after dune yesterday! While the going was tough for the convoy at some stages, we all made it out safely and with a lot of learning under the belt. A huge shoutout also to @Rinelle Sanaani and @Tbone - we have been riding together at the back for a few trips now, and, while the tough bits are well churned-up by the time we arrive, they seem to handle all with ease!  And they are always willing to jump in and help with the shoveling and pushing!

Comletely agree with you @Kalahari and I was going to give you a shout out. Considering how churned up everything was at the end of the convoy it's testament to the team work of the three of you @Rinelle Sanaani and @Tbone and how you were relly looking out for each other that there was only one moment when you needed a little bit of help. 

And, invaluable, both digging pushing and pulling from you guys - if you had not done that, we might still be there today! Hoping that soon we will be putting you closer to the front to have you second lead or support on the recoveries.

Fortunately or unfortunately we in the front half of the convoy ( No 2,3,4 and 5) missed all the action happening at the back towards the end as we waited for you all to get out of the situation, while enjoying the breeze in the moonlight (looking at the positive aspect ).

Well done all of you👍

What you all have gone through yesterday was a part and parcel of the infamous Shuwaib area that start right behind Iftar bowl and spans to few kms with treacherous vast desert. I wont say this area is jinxed as many offroaders of my era use to call it, but this area is well known among offroaders community to test your patience, skills and teamwork. We have had endless incidents and issues in the same area that whenever we step there, we know that we are going to get into some serious action today.

It's very unfortunate of tow hook breaking due to sheer negligence as it broke with gentle tug, that means it has never been checked properly for integrity before. @Srikumar and @Wrangeld every promotion thread has this line, so now it's time to implement firmly and start sending drivers back, who don't understand the importance of acquiring off-road gear as basic as shovel.

P.S. Trip lead might deny your participation if you don't have required off-road gear.

@Jeepie heartiest congratulation on successfully completing your first independent drive lead under Marshal supervision and that too in such a tricky terrain plus without any prior navigational research and planning. Really well done.

It is so nice to read that we have so many great contributors and team player than just silent observers who stand up to the occasion to help and support when the need arise. Well done @Kalahari, @Tbone and @Rinelle Sanaani
