Excellent drive. 1st time climbing big dunes and it was fun. If not for breakfast, would have loved to do it a couple of times more.

Thank you @Kailas for the beautiful drive this morning. You managed to draw lines suited to the group in this difficult area. We all enjoyed the sneaking through the dunes and the high climbs !

The group as a whole did very well, following the radio instructions, keeping correct distances between cars, holding patiently while fellow drivers where doing their recoveries. We did not have to use shovels neither ropes, this is definitely a sign that you were all attentive to the tracks, and carefully following instructions during self recoveries.

@Marcin Wronowski, excellent job as 2nd lead, holding when needed on the instructions of @Kailas. You managed the climbs with a fully loaded car, very well done.

@Premjit Vappala, you were a bit fast on the first dune crossings, (watch the pic in the gallery) but this was corrected during the drive. You will continue to improve the balance of the car on the side slopes.

@Joao, very well managed you FJ. You will continue to experience the beautiful capabilities of this car.

@Juan Carlos Prego Perez, you will continue to improve your confidence after a few drives. Correct tire pressure has improved a lot the capabilities of the car.

@JERINE_B, pay attention to side slopes and remember not to fight gravity, meaning steering down as soon as you loose momentum. Listen carefully to guidance during recoveries, and you will see you can get out easily in many circonstances.

@Muhammad Qasim, very well driven, you are cautious and attentive to the track.

@Sanjay Malik, it was a pleasure to see your LC quietly passing through the obstacles with no issue at all, very well driven.

Thank you all for this nice morning in the sand. See you in a next drive !

[Juan Carlos Prego Perez]

thanks team for nice day and drive! Thanks @Kailasand @JeromeFJ for your instructions and kind support. Specially while doing the hill! It is amazing to realise 1PSI can change completely the car behaviour! Good learning ! Thanks for helping me in these 2 self recoveries! It is the way to learn and finally thanks to bring us to that beautiful place! The stop with the camels was beautiful ! Again thanks! 

Please if someone have the video of climbing please kindly post. Thanks
