Morning Fewbie Plus Desert Drive - Badayer - Sharjah - 17 Sep 2022

[KAMALIO]

@Hisham Masaad I just got an email I am accepted from the Waitlist.   I had made a previous commitment for a late evening tonight. If I can wrap up early will try and make it but if not then might be unable to make it so early.

If there is confirmed driver then you can remove me and if not I would like to be "tentative" status.

Thank you @Hisham Masaad for the amazing adventure today in Badayer. “Accelerated pace, Ridge Riding and Bowl Surfing” was the name of the game, with Iftar Bowl and Super bowl as an extra bonus  at the end of the drive! Fantastic start of the weekend !. We couldn’t ve done it without the great support from @Brette, @Ranjan Das& @JeromeFJ, their superb guidance and efforts which made every Stuck/Refusal/lost tracks so simple and easy to deal with.
Thanks @Gerrit Bus for SL today, looking forward to your nice videos😉
Pleased to see all convoy friends gliding in the beautiful dunes of Badayer. See you all again soon.

Thank you @Hisham Masaad for the drive this morning full of action and excitement, as expected !

it was a pleasure to meet everyone after a long break, and nice to see the progression of some members who joined their first Fewbie drives with me a few months ago.  Amazing level in the group !!

[Ranjan Das]

Thank you @Hisham Masaad for curating yet another fantastic drive packed with action right from the word go. It was wonderful to see the convoy keeping up with the pace and challenges you set. It was a very satisfying drive which checked all the boxes - safety, fun and excitement.

thanks @Brette and @JeromeFJ for all the support. @Gerrit Bus, you were wonderful as second lead. 
 

@Salim Akhtar, @Jose Thomas, @Haitham Khattab, @Tareq Al Turq, @Imran Kashif and @takeshi sobue, was an absolute pleasure meeting and driving with you. 
until next week….

[Hisham Masaad]

Thank you @Haitham Khattab @JeromeFJ and @Ranjan Das for the posts. It was really amazing drive. Having great group of friends, actually made the drive more nice and fun. Glad to see everyone made it through till the end, without much of issues. Few refusals, where you were ready @Ranjan Das with your rope, really thankful for that. Otherwise, we kept moving, pushing pushing till we had a break in between, to have more power for the second half, which again was challenging, but all again managed, and was good fun. Thought at that stage, we are good to go and exit. @Gerrit Bus you have really managed your position very well. Amazing SL, and very good capable driver. Amazing support team @Ranjan Das @JeromeFJ and @Brette thank you for being available whenever required. Great job everyone @Haitham Khattab @Salim Akhtar @Jose Thomas @Tareq Al Turq @Imran Kashif @takeshi sobue, no comments, except good to meet you, and well done👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼. 

Below summary of our achievement.

Wish you nice week ahead.

@Hisham Masaad thank you for a very thrilling drive and thank you for giving me the opportunity to be SL. I was so excited that I made the rookie mistake of driving off in 2H! Causing me to immediately get stuck. Luckily we had @Ranjan Das on hand to give me a quick tug. Thank you! And while the able support of @JeromeFJ was right at the other end of the convoy, it is always a pleasure to share a drive with you. And thanks to @Brette for the advise when I had some refusals. Always good to have a marshal present.
