Morning Gaurav -  my car isn't starting. The battery needs replacing (I hope)  Enjoy and my apologies.

You will never stop learning because desert never stops teaching 

Every drive is a chance to learn something new, it doesn't matter which level it is. 

I joined the Newbie drive today and in my mind it will be an easy chilling and relaxing drive, then @Gaurav threw the bomb in my pocket and decided to make me his second lead , which means I won't enjoy watching the Convoy  crossing the Dunes, But the biggest advantage is that I'll have another chance to watch the leader and learn how to read the Dunes and how choose the best crossing points.

The surprise when i got refusal on a very small dune and when i see my self and other fewbie and fewbie plus drivers sloping and struggling on a very easy dunes 

The reason why as our boss said "Because the older drivers getting over confident" 😀😀 

So my decisions after today's experiment is i should join lower levels drives at least once a month to keep learning and to be more confident on all off road drives

Thank you @Gaurav for this chance to learn, and for guidance and support, i really learned a lot from you. 

Thank you @Anish S for always stepping up and helping the Convoy in every single situation, and @Morshedi for sweeping the Convoy and keeping eye on every driver. 

@Luke Johnson & @Thejas Uthran it was amazing seeing you in my mirrors crossing the Dunes 

 

And thanks for everybody else, i didn't get the chance to drive closely enough with you but you did it guys 👍👍

Thank you all, see you all again on the sand 🌵

Yes it was the battery. Dead on month 16. Just out of warrantee 😕 replaced it with a vartek this time instead of Bosch.

[Morshedi]

Thank you @Gaurav for the wonderful Drive, the track was amazing and I enjoyed it a lot,

it was really good to see you after a long time,

Thank you @Anish S for your efforts, you were there for every stuck and refusal, And your instructions were very clear!

thank you @Ahmad Shaker for supporting the drive I’m sure you had fun at the front 😄

we had some stucks and refusals, but Everyone did very well, there were some areas I didn’t feel it as a newbie drive at all, great job everyone 💛💪
