Hi, i have this radio. Does it work?

[TT_Dubai]

Thanks @Tbone for leading a flawless drive this morning and to @Janarthan for the support in sweep! It was a new experience to climb Pink Rock at daybreak! The sands have a beautiful red hue but is deceptively soft at places. Throw in elevation climbs and drops means a pretty exhilarating morning! Thanks for regularly checking on the drive pace and difficulty. It demanded full concentration and good momentum throughout. But as we are an abbreviated convoy we could keep a tight knit and cover some good ground, finishing at Big Red. 

We saw one or two other convoys but otherwise we had the playground to ourselves!

Special mention to @JamesThorn who performed superbly for a first fewbie drive. It was definitely one of the more challenging fewbie drives so every reason to be chuffed!
