Thanks @Ale Vallecchi for this morning. Excellent drive as expected, with the required level of challenges and the fun of the roller costing ! Your guidance to read the dunes was really helpful ! Thank you @Mehmet Volgaand @Shaaz Sha for watching us, and always in reach when support was needed.

And I loved the sun in line with the lights of the FJ before the drive ;)

@Ale Vallecchi thanks for the detailed feedback. When we reflect back on what happened every one will realize that at times we need that push to break the barrier and get out of comfort zone and focus back on the drive to negotiate and cross the challenge safely, which was achieved. Hope in future drives we recall your screaming push push, keep moving, gently left right while climbing and it helps in polishing our handling skills.

Thanks Ale, it was a challenging drive for us newbies. I for one learned quite a bit due to your instruction/demonstrations. I have to thank Mehmet again for coaching me out of my stuck. See you all again soon.

Enjoyed the drive and challenges - thanks Ale for the tips and demonstrations running up and down those dunes! I learn something new from each instructor on each drive... for example Ale encouraged deflation to 13 psi (I've been advised previously to stick to 15/16psi) on my standard, on-road tyres. I felt the difference this extra 2 psi made in the soft sand. Thanks Mehmet for pulling me out of the sand bowl after getting stuck - after potentially getting a little too close to Ranjan and having to take some evasive action.

Looking forward to the next one...
