Thanks @Rizwanm2 for organizing such a fantastic drive, the terrain was amazing, and a big thank you to @GauravSonifor joining in and for leading a split convoy, moreover, allowing me to lead part of the way around, it was another great learning experience and super fun. 

Convoy 2 covered 70 km in a little under 3 hrs, pretty impressive given the terrain and a slight interruption from a Monitor Lizard .

Well done @Imteeaz and thank you for the support and great sweeping duties performed flawlessly.

Convoy 2 @Krishna R @Felix Obst  @Mark B @Patrick van der Loo  I hope you guys had as much fun as we did, it was amazing to see the skills on show today, hence why we were able to cover such a great distance with little to no refusals, this was testament to your driving skills so well done all.

@Mark B hope the wife is feeling better.

I am sure convoy 1 had as much fun as we did.

 

@Ishak @Bjoern @Chris Wing @Mahmoud Taha @Looper @Zed (hope I did not miss anyone off)

Stats with new app and video thanks @M.Seidam for sharing had fun playing with this.

@GauravSoni and @Davie Chase, thank you so much for a phenomenal drive this morning. 70km! In that terrain and these temperatures - and after getting up that early  - quite impressive. I was curious to see how the TJ would do in these temps but the extra fan during the pauses kept it properly down. I love the sound the sand makes in that part of the desert on the descents by the way. So unique! 
well driven by all and great way to start a Sunday. Thank you all!!!

[Mahmoud Taha]

I really enjoyed the drive thanks to everyone.
