That was refreshing, enjoying and a wonderful trips with a great weather and nice hard sand after it was raining. Had a great time during crushing, bushing and riding on ridges. 

Thank so much for  @Jeepie,  as Leader to bring safe and great fun adventures  @Danish Mohammad for keeping eyes and secure, most important  all great inputs and feedbacks appreciated.

Would be happy to see everyone and thank to @Janarthan& @PacificWill meet another day's on sand.

refusals are a part of learning

Absolutely they are (the refusal I mean) and quite frankly I enjoyed each of them. Now for the learning 

1. it seems that my car does not like 4 LOW. Now that I look back the transmission temp only came out after refusals where I had to use 4LOW. I also must say that generally I can get unstuck in 4High with central lock, so maybe I should try that before going straight to 4LOW

2. The car will see a mechanic to check the transmission fluids just to be sure. Maybe an extra fan for safety.

3. I need to buy one of those spray bottle too. 

4. At time I was too close to the second lead and in 2 occasions I ended up with a refusal as I did not read the path correctly or had to break and loose momentum.

5. I like ridges, a lot. 

6. Climbing needs practice. My tip tronic always shift form 1st to 2nd too early and I loose momentum.

7. In a few of occasion traction control kicked in even if switched off and I lost traction. In one occasion that is why I got the refusal. The KILL switch is coming next week.

 8. I think I got the gravity thing figured out. A few time I could not fight it and had no problem finding a safe way down. 

Many thanks to @Jeepie to safely lead us around!

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.
