Morning Fewbie Desert Drive - Surprise at Faqaa - 16 Apr 2022

[Gaurav]

Congrats @JeromeFJ for your first partial lead and wonderful trip report that actually reminds me of @Emmanuel (writing style) your first and perfect mentor in the sand.

Well done @Islam Soliman for supporting his first partial lead and experiencing the most exciting moment when someone takes the first lead of a real convoy.

@Rob S you also picked the right brand - Toyota (best in reliability) that hardly fails and it's nice to see that battery waited till tarmac.

One of the best drives I’ve ever been on. As Rob says, it really showed the great team spirit that Carnity brings. Everyone came together to support each other and even though there were a few stucks and refusals, the patience and teamwork really shone through. 
 

thanks to @Islam Soliman and @JeromeFJ for leading an absolutely superb drive, to all the support crew and to every driver out yesterday. Can’t wait to get back out in the sand again. 
 

glad to hear the Prado made a speedy recovery @Rob S! American muscle to the rescue…

Congratulations @JeromeFJ for your first partial lead.. it’s a very special and dear moment to me too to see you taking off and leading, I don’t know how many drives we had together since you started but they are a lot.. I am only sad that this new step will not allow us to drive together often as we used to in the past but I will for sure every now and then jump on your drives to to enjoy being part of your convoy.

 

thanks @Rob S for supporting this special drive and for the amazing support not only in the center but man you were everywhere as usual .. great job Mr. Support; and thanks for your car battery too for being sooooo patient to stay with us until the tarmac before giving its last breath.. glad to hear it was an easy straightforward battery replacement with no further complications.

Thanks @Imteeazfor sweeping today and putting up with the destroyed tracks by the Truckers at the back.
