@Mehmet Volga thanks for a fun filled drive this morning. It was challenging in areas, with a far amount of digging along the way!

@Kailas you had to work hard today! You provided incredible support to the convoy. Thanks for giving me the opportunity to tug two "stucks" out and to christen my new snatch rope!

I've posted some pics in the gallery.

Great drive yet again @Mehmet Volga. Thanks to @Kailas also for keep helping out with all stucks and refusals including myself. @Tom B you were brilliant again as the sweep, thanks to you and @Salim Akhtar for shoveling me out in the end. Hope to see you all again soon.

Another great end-of-weekend with very sound off-roaders! We started at Al Faqa's long dunes, moved towards little Sweihan and finished at our meeting point again by making a wide loop. Side sloping, crisscrossing, ridge-riding... refusals, stucks, pop outs... shovels, tugs and excellent teamwork... we tasted a little bit of everything today. Luckily the sun was hiding so we shoveled under the morning winds breezing cool. The pop-out was a bit tricky so we had some overtime in the end. But anyway, every single issue was sorted out quickly with a great teamwork of the convoy members.

Marshal @Kailas didn't leave me without support today and he saved our day indeed. Thank you buddy! It was very nice driving with you again after almost a year!

@Michel Van Woudenberg & @Tom B flawless support as always! Second time I had you both on these spots and excellent result again. Very smooth, super gently and perfectly balanced tug outs - well done @Tom B.

Fresh fewbies @Max Beloenko and @Pieter Potgieter were amazing at start of their new Fwb adventures. Good jumping guys, keep it up and enjoy! 👍

Tough response to the challenging dunes by @Nikola Bozovic @Adam James @ASAD. @Salim Akhtar. Cheers friends! 

@Adam James ; pity that we couldn't see your Defender 97 but you made good AT shows with your FJ. Don't forget updating car info on your profile as the leaders also consider cars while planning the convoy orders.

@Salim Akhtar from AD team! It was good to see you on a Dubai drive. Come again and drive like today friend. Well done! Say my hi to all friends in AD 🙌

See you all on the next!
