Very well done for all the convoy, capable drivers in capable vehicles!

Dear Sand Sailors

Super soft sand, surprisingly bearable weather, herds of gazelles cheering us up through the route - we had it all to make it a fun drive and thanks to the awesome pack of drivers, that's how it turned out to be. 

Drive went in so smooth that if not for Gaia, i wouldn't have believed that we covered around 72Km at an average moving speed of 24kmph through this mix of long range, tech and bushy terrain. Well done all 👍

 @RiaanJH - perfect SL, maintained a very good distance and responded to calls promptly.. Thanks for your support .

 @george charbel very nicely driven. This wasnt an easy drive - small convoy with very diverse experience and a different than usual terrain. You handled it all pretty well and ofcourse we saw a perfect case of how much difference right deflation can make to a drive experience. Very well done especially on those self recoveries..👍

 @Sam K apart from couple of small refusals almost a perfect drive for you. 

 @takeshi sobue nothing in this drive could have challanged your FJ150 😂 Was fun to hear it roar. Though at times it made me think - was it really required for it to roar today? A bit more focus on right lines and carrying forward the momentum can take it to another level. 

 @Haitham Khattab very nicely swept 👍 thanks a lot for your support.

Thanks @JeromeFJ for joining in and sharing your experience and knowledge through the drive. 

Thanks all for a lovely morning, looking forward to see you all soon. Next week, m planning the drive around Lisali - the long range side of it (not the usual tech that Lisali is known for) - so if interested watch out for the calendar post on monday 7pm. 

Some stats from today's drive for all who are interested
