Trip report 

Short convoy = Fun

Quite evident on this drive, especially with a mix of new and experienced drivers. We all for sure felt the level of the drive wasn't at newbie.

The newbies hardly got stuck ,whereas the more experienced got which goes to show sand is a great leveller for all. I personally was mistaken on two accounts getting sunken in soft patches as we entered a technical area. Seniors had refusals, crests and needed tugs 😜.

Special mention to

1. @Chinthaka Ruwan who drove the X magnificently with absolutely no issues. Even while we practised higher dune crossings he was perfect,  great to watch. And

2. @Russ managed his monster Raptor to perfection. Only one crest needing a gentle tug , and rest was pure roaring drive. Fantastic driving buddy.

@GauravSoni did really well for 2nd lead and helped in all recoveries . How you are improving with each tug you execute is great to see. Thank you

@Thomas Varghese our newly promoted IM was enjoying the X and the drive , some refusals needing shovelling but all part of the fun. Would love to see you get out more frequently and offer your valuable help ,especially now that you are IM member.

@Islam Soliman swept all perfectly.  Always a team man and thank you for offering your support for this drive.

We did close to 32 km with average moving speed of around 17kmph ,for you to have some stats. Please remember to have Covid appropriate behavior on all drives. Stay safe and see you all soon
