No issue. But be aware that for passengers sitting in the back from Fewbie level onwards the experience can be a bit "stomach churning" for them.

Trip Report: 

Thanks @Hisham Masaad, for the great drive. Indeed Fewbie drives are different. and now im looking forward for next level  .

At start point, i have meet fellas who started the off-roading with me 2 months ago, @Frans M, @Bashar Beasha, @Sebb, @Glenn W...

@Hisham Masaad briefed us on the drive and emphases on a very important statement, Don't Fight the Gravity.. safety is first just steer down and you could try it again... Simple words but have all the magic.. after then we moved to our first side-sloping were we did half-moons near the ridge.. and yes we made all nicely. thanks to Hisham guidance, my confidence start to rise more and more we start to do it faster and continuously... 

Now we moved for riding small ridges were i still need to practice it more because my boat 😁 sometimes make difficult on me but it was achievable with Hisham comments on the radio and as i was watching @Glenn W car moving on front of me.

@Bashar Beasha was driving greatly on those dunes with his supper safari.. On Criss -Crossing, the bushes decided not to leave him alone without a tire pop-out. which handled on no-time with support team help @Tareq Al Turq, and @Vaibhav

@Mohamad Anwer was driving the legendary LC70 as second lead, he took very nice photos of his car near a big stone i dont know what they call it .. i did a nice clip for him check video  .

and now we reached big bowl. were @Hisham Masaad asks the intermediates to do it because its a bit challenging, meanwhile i was praying that he we would asks the Fewbies to do it. YES he did !! immediately i catch the Radio to ask his permission to do it.. after then all fewbies did it greatly..

Finally we headed to climb a large dune, we took a warrior rest and then headed to the exit successfully. 

Thanks for all drivers, Looking forward for another drive with all of you. 

I would like also to conclude by thanking @Frederic for his amazing post on Gaia GPS app on carnity site; which i ended by downloading it and subscribing for it. Also, i would like to thank @M.Seidam for his you-tube channel where i got inspired to create the my 1st activity video.
