Thanks @Kailas I enjoyed this night drive, new experience so all good!  You didn’t hold back so it was good!!

Just a few issue on the drive, 2 drivers with no night lights, this is a must on night drives as clearly they have issues with seeing where to go. Also this later on causes people to lose the actual track and take their own ways and get stuck. Its very important to follow the leads tracks especially at night when dark and not easy to see where you are going...

Thanks to @Craig Finlayson for putting his winch to good use and doing all the recoveries. 

Other than that awesome drive. 

see you guys on the next drive!
