Hahahahaha Angela @Foxtrot Oscar! You’re such a cool lead, that I don’t mind helping with your tires 😀

Murqab is one of my favorite spots because it hides lots of surprises.

@Arda Yagcioglu, unless radia channel is different than radio channel, I believe Angela told us channel 3 in her post above 🤣

Drive Report

We started out well, awakening from our slumber with some soft gentle dunes which everyone was handling well, before tackling some more challenging dunes with steep inclines. Everyone relished the challenge and succeeded in the task without the need to reroute.

We picked up the pace and left Murquab and headed to Solar Park. So far so good. Once in the Solar Park area we practiced some ridge riding and criss-crossing and after a couple of practice runs, everyone managed with aplomb.

I really enjoyed this drive and that was most certainly down to the quality of driving from the convoy.  @Tamas Hoffmann was the perfect second lead, re routing when needed and following instructions perfectly. @MUHAMMAD Kashif RAZZAQ did really well, I had driven with you before and its great to see you progress. @Rizwan Waheed you handle that LWB Pajero with such panache, great driving. @Hennie Schoeman in your limousine (copyright @Rahimdad)  did brilliantly to self recover from the churned up soft sands and handled everything really well. @Ahab Shamaa, it’s always great to see your smiling face and you have definitely learned to handle that FJC with more finesse than power, keep it up. @Franco Swart in his pocket dynamo had a great drive too, I loved watching you take on those ridges and criss-crossing which were perfectly executed. Well done. Many thanks to @Rahimdad for his wonderful assistance, we all know we’re safe when Superman is in the convoy.

A special mention to @Ranjan Das and @Arda Yagcioglu who had to exit the drive due to mechanical issues. I hope it is nothing too serious and that we see you again soon.

I had such a good time, and that was most certainly down to the great company. You guys make leading a convoy easy. Thank you for indulging me and for being up for the challenge. We covered lots of ground today which is no mean feat . Well done you!!!

Until the next adventure...

Glad to hear it was a great ride for all. Unfortunately I had to exit quite early due to the issue with the car. Special thanks to @Foxtrot Oscar and @Rahimdad for attending to the issues with the car and kind guidiance back to the road.

I had a easy ride back home and hope nothing serious with  the car. I will see you all next time.

Ah, it was so unfortunate, but it is always better to exit than to continue. No worries re the guidance, that's what we're there for,

I'm pleased that you had no issues getting home. Yes, hopefully it's nothing too serious and we see you again soon.

Love and respect to @Foxtrot Oscar and our superman @Rahimdad.. loved the terrains, the technicalities learned alot. Moreover, loved the combo of leadership. Kept us energetic and engaged and all of a sudden i heard its the end of our ride you can inflate .. 😁😀. And thank you for the sweet birthday wishes from all of you. It is a defiantly a memorable drive for me. 😊👍.

@Ahab Shamaa man with ur monster seeing it through my rear view mirror, it reminded me of movie scenes from "Mad Max".  Love the roar of your monster and the they way you drive with and yes with lots of energy and a big smile. Loving personality.

 Everybody drove fantastically. Learned from you all today. Thnx again to everyone. Stay safe and stay Healthy.

See you when i see you.. 😎🤘.

Drive Report

Today’s drive was a total display of positive energy and superb driving skills, with seeing all the smiling faces and barely any stucks throughout the whole drive (I guess each drive HAS to have one unavoidable stuck, without which a drive would be incomplete 😂)

The energized drive was no surprise as we were under the lead of @Foxtrot Oscar, someone full of positivity and passion for leading, she provided several opportunities for the drivers to use every single horse packed inside their engine, as the engines roared through the dunes.

It was fun and all until we heard a “Phuff”, as for what @Rahimdad described 😂, apparently there were some technical issues, hopefully nothing was serious. It was sad to see fellow drivers leave as @Foxtrot Oscar and @Rahimdad escorted them safely out of the desert.

With @Foxtrot Oscar and @Rahimdad gone, @Ahab Shamaa took up the responsibility of an Alpha and started scouting the area around the waiting point, making sure there were no potential threats aiming at the convoy 😂.

All n all, it was an amazing drive. We took on some tall dunes, several patches with soft sand, ridge riding, criss-crossing and much more. Yet the convoy held up pretty good. 

@Rahimdad was at the sweep. We could see the excellent chemistry between the lead and the sweep, it made the drive much more interactive and ‘alive’.

Thanks everyone, see you all next week 😉
