Im ready and keen to make my way to you guys, but for the life of me I can’t remember where my keys are. 

Hopefully  you read this and you guys don’t end up waiting for me. 

Sorry to miss the ride !

@Islam Soliman Thank you for this morning drive in the beautiful dunes of Al Fayah.

I enjoyed being out there with you and all the team. We covered quite a distance for a fewbie drive and given the terrain. The long range dunes were a very good opportunity to practice and learn to control your car, your fish tailing, taking advantage of momentum and exiting safely from the dunes. I do believe everyone did very well.

We had a few refusals and stucks - that is definitely part of the game and part of the learning curve - again well done everyone, I hope you all got out of the drive with more experience :)

Great support from @Josh T. and second lead from @Belal Aldaour

See you soon guys !
