@Hisham Masaad Thank you 🙏🏻 

[Hisham Masaad]

Thank you all for joining the drive, hope all enjoyed and found something new to learn. All made it on time, as soon as everyone got ready to move, had a briefing. As mentioned, most of the points are always repeated, to emphasize the importance of these points, and to remind all of us about them. started moving smoothly, and in between, started getting refusals and stucks, where we learn from. By the time reached pink rock, the area was really busy and at some stage unsafe, due to the presence of the other buggies. We then exited at the 2nd December, which was glad to see a gate to exit from that side. Very nice to meet new friends @fayez @Arsalan Ehsan @Juan R @Prasanth P @Yaseen87 all did amazing, great job. Nice to meet old friends again @essam ibrahim @Tharun Kumar V @Thejas Uthran @Bruno Finel @Mahmoud Taha. Thank you very much @MikeSpillanefor being SL, @Davie Chase for supporting us, and @Rob S for joining and supporting despite the long trip you had before the drive. 

Look forward to see you again in sand

Thank you @Hisham Masaad for the excellent drive, it was as you say a great learning experience. I hope all the other club members enjoyed it and learnt as much as I did. it was great to see so many families out with us in the true spirit of Carnity 

The convoy drove exceptionally well so a big thanks to @fayez @Arsalan Ehsan @Juan R @Prasanth P @Yaseen87@essam ibrahim @Tharun Kumar V @Thejas Uthran @Bruno Finel @Mahmoud Taha you guys made the support teams job so much easier. A big thank you to @MikeSpillanefor being SL you did an awesome job of following Hishams instructions to move the convoy left and right where necessary and keep us all on the right track.

A big shout out to @Rob S for joining us after a long flight, gave us a great sense of comfort having you at the back sweeping. 

Ignore the max speed below as that was operator error as i did not stop the recording until i was on the highway

Look forward to seeing you again in sand
