Thanks @Mehmet Volga for leading a great drive today. It must have been one of the 'slowest' I have ever been on by way of dozens of refusals and stucks! I do believe that we learn something from every one of these events and I for one, learnt to not take a 'little crest' for granted lol! Thanks team for the shovel work and in the end, the gentle tug to get me mobile again. Thanks @Veedoosheefor being so busy at CF. You were buzzing around like a wasp here there and everywhere advising/chatting/instructing and generally sheperding us cats. @Ben84I did not see you much but I could hear you back there sweeping away and doing good works, thanks for supporting us so well. To everyone else, this drive was one of the most taxing I have been on and to see such fantastic spirit and teamwork fills me with pride. We truly are a great club. Thank you all and see you next time!

Excellent ride. Yes it was slow at the beginning due to refusals but the finale ( more like the second half) was sizzling.  Both the need for speed and for ridge riding were well satisfied.  @Mehmet Volgathanks for organizing and pushing through to the end. Thanks @Veedoosheefor your support and ever presence.  @Pierre de Maigret it was fun driving close behind you; I wish I had a hood cam to document side slopping and three wheeling (suction tripod for video cam ordered from Amazon already).. Fun!

Looking fwd for the nice drive. Inchallah next week or on a weekday (we need more weekday rides @Gaurav).  

Sorry the pic is upside down;  and no guys I was not wheels in the air when I took it

Thanks @Mehmet Volga,  @Veedooshee and @Ben84 for this great ride and the support, it was really enjoyably given it is my second fewbie ride.

Thank you very much @Mehmet Volgafor the drive of yesterday. A first time for me as SL and I enjoyed it tremendously. Amazing, I got crested once which hasn’t happened for a very long time… These little dunes of soft sand definitely had their challenges and it was an intense work of shoveling 😄. @Veedoosheeyou were amazing, always present and monitoring an incredible number ofrecoveries. @Anish Syou are a great photographer and thank you for the great memories we can take with us.
