We left the camels’ races to enter the desert. Slow path with some refusals quickly recovered. @Gauravmade an incredible repairs on @sohinikcar to be able to exit car. Lucky enough not to be too far away from Lisaili.

It was nice driving with you this morning. Have a nice week and hope to drive with you again, next weekend 😉

Thanks, @Fabien Monleau @Melenany @Waqas Parvez and @Looper for brilliant and endless support today with a very struggling and difficult drive from the beginning and with an on-site quick fix to get Trailblazer out.

Thanks, everyone for your patience and cooperation, today's drive really marks the importance of team sport that we keep repeating on every briefing. For the few of you, who were there with me two weeks back in Lisaili must be appreciating the huge contrast in two drives at the same place with the same lead but with totally different end results. We barely covered half of km today which we usually do due to constant challenges and situations but hope to see you all soon in the sand with good spirits for the next one.

Have good weekend ahead.

After a long unplanned break it was my comeback drive and it was everything one expects from a newbie drive. The terrain was fantastic with mild technical drives between wide open desert dunes where everyone had enough to hone their skills while being safe.

A big Thanks to @Fabien Monleau, @Melenany and @Waqas Parvez for their committed and excellent support. And @Gaurav for not only leading the drive but never stopping to remind that there is always something to learn for all in every drive especially for members like us. And thank you @Jeetu Sharma for a commendable job in the 2nd lead.

My thoughts for newbies is that - driving in the desert is a team sport and keep enjoying everything that you are going through. Each refusal is a learning experience on how not to get into refusal or what to do next time you face a refusal. Every break is a time to socialise and learn from other team members their experiences and identify what you can do to your car, to your driving style and overall how you can become a good driver.

don't drive like its your last one.
