@Pacific @Enrico Biscaro @Santoso Marjuki @Danish Mohammad @munkybizness @Rawad @Janarthan

Beautiful hard sand today, and that made for good and relatively easy practicing of ridge riding and criss crossing. Especially in the virgin dunes we found before crossing Pink Rock and even climbing Pink Rock was a piece of cake. A nice small convoy also meant that we could start moving quickly again after the odd refusals and reattempts. It was nice to be able to see most of you most of the time, After Pink Rock we found some more fun, but there were quite a few tracks around making it a little softer and a bit more challenging. Lots of other vehicles also meant finding an alternative track sometimes, but we slowly made our way to the big dune next to Big Red.

To my surprise it was really busy and after an overheating car and daylight slowly disappearing, I decided it was better to start making our way to Big Red and play there a little (close to the exit) So we could exit at any time.

Great teamwork from everyone, good convoy discipline and great support from @Danish Mohammad and @Janarthanmeant that @munkybizness pop out was dealt with very quickly.

@Pacific you were handling the second lead position perfectly and you redirected well whenever needed. @Enrico Biscaro I love that you keep trying and you must have learnt the most today. You were doing fine and it is perfectly normal to have a few refusals. (No digging or rope needed, in fact the only time a rope came out was for a senior😉) So you recovered yourself , and that means you got the most out of today.

@Santoso Marjuki you were doing fine. The only thing I would like to ask you, is to acknowledge on the radio that you understood what the lead or support are saying to you.

@munkybizness driving very nicely as far as I could see and apart from the pop out no other issues that I can think of.

@Rawad keeping cool (finding shade in the desert😃) and very calm. You did a perfect (supervised) rope recovery. Well done!

@Janarthan always good to know you are keeping us safe and together. 

I thoroughly enjoyed myself today and I hope you did too.

Fantastic drive indeed  @Foxtrot Oscar. My poor guest got more than what he signed up for; but he truly enjoyed it..  The last climb took us by surprise; we thought we were done when we saw the tarmac and suddenly we found ourselves climbing like crazy; this is where we got a bucket load of sand go throw the windows as we were literally over a ridge, I had to maneuver it almost blindly. Thanks Miss @Lawrence_Chehimi for the water; needed for the eye rinse... 

I was one of the drivers distracted by the photo shoot; well how couldn't you? My co-pilot was saying, she is scantily dressed; so shy from being the pope, I had to look :)

My fewbie drives are getting more and more exciting as if the organizer is stepping them up for me on purpose.. See you in 2 weekends inchallah.. Till then; keep bashing...

Dear @Jeepie thank you so much for this nice drive and we all really appreciate your support in accepting this second convoy from @Foxtrot Oscar  

Our second lead @Pacific a good listener and well driving by keeping safe distance @Enrico Biscaro driving in sand is a fun and refusals are a part of learning and you did a good job man by doing all self recoveries @Santoso Marjuki a little to work on angle of approach to avoid fish tail and more active on radio. @munkybizness nicely keeping an eye on front car activity and taking correct action to do slight change if required @Rawad nice driving, good to see a great change. AND finally at our sweep @Janarthan its our pleasure to have you in our Convoy and keeping eye on all of us to be safe and enjoy.

Appreciate the help, support and patience got from every member. Thanks to everyone for joining this Convoy. 

Stay Safe ... See you in next drive :)
