Thanks for joining me this morning in the lovely dunes of Abu Dhabi. I was initially a bit disappointed with the amount of cross tracks the first half hour but as soon as we headed South it opened up and we had some good fun ! All of you did really well !

Thanks for the great second lead in John and the support from Mostafa !

Merci beaucoup @Frederic. Very nice work in leading us to those great areas to the south. That was great fun. Hope you have a great Xmas and hope to join you again in the new year.

Ah. Upside down photo added for the benefit of the Australian in the group😂

Really enjoyed this morning, a lovely drive that set up a lot of confidence, love how you had faith in us along the way - felt more like a day out than just a drive 😁

Thanks @Frederic was a great drive 

[John Vanderbleek]

Great drive Fredric! it was a very good decision to move away from all the tracks into some less traveled areas. Credits to all the drivers for developing their skills and mastery of momentum as the drive progressed. I look forward to challenging the heights of that last dune we observed near our stopping point. Happy New Year to all.

Thank you @Frederic John and Mostafa for the wonderful drive.

Today was very pleasurable drive. Cool breeze, nice soft sand, the convoy on the move the entire duration of the drive.
