Thanks @munkybizness, I guess what this means is that we now have to find higher hills to tackle :)

Congrats @Mike M.. Well done. You have come a long way. Still remember how nervous you were on the AN drive and been a pleasure watching you gain confidence on every single drive. You ask the right questions after every drive and having been on every drive of yours so far, I have noticed you put it all into practice every week.  Again, well done and look forward to see you keep growing. Enjoy the new level.. 

Thanks Coach for all the kind words. It has been more than a pleasure to be part of this journey and most of it is because of you. Your readiness to share the wealth of knowledge and experience, the safety net you put around the convoy to give them the space to push and explore capabilities are all dwarfed compared to the great person you are overall. 
Your passion to this sport is contagious and I am glad and honoured to have started it with you. 
While your official title in off-roading is Marshal, you will always be Coach to me :)
