Thank you very much @Kailas for a great drive in the afternoon. It was a bit technical in the beginning but soon everyone settled down and drove quite well.

@Desert Wrangler wondered why was that when I was in my newbie drives there used to be so many more refusals than when she is driving now. I guess it is because these days unlike early covid days more serious off-roaders are coming to the drives and they are driving excellently. 

@Russ thanks for all the support in keeping the flock together.

Thanks @Kailas for leading a successful drive yesterday afternoon.

Everyone drove well, and most situations were dealt with by self-recovery which is all part of the valuable learning curve. 

@Siddharth gupta’s cresting (easy to do in possibly the longest truck on the road!) was the only situation that required recovery, and fortunately the issue with the transmission was fixable and the convoy could move on.

It was good to meet some new faces and hopefully see you again soon.
