hi @Ale Vallecchi any chance for a desperate offroader in tomorrow's drive? 😆

Hi @Charbel. Welcome to the drive. See you tomorrow

Hi sorry woke up to a flat this morning. Screw in the tyre. Working on it - but cant make it.

Thanks @Ale Vallecchi for this amazing drive, I would call it actually a "raid".. 4 hours plus of moving time through great and varied terrain.. Haven't done such a technical terrain in a while.  

It was as usual a great pleasure to see the good friends and co-drivers.... 

Looking forward for next time, 

Have a great week all..

thanks everyone for helping me recover out of this nasty soft sand pocket at the start. see you soon

Thank you for all of you that managed to join us for this amazing drive, under the lead of the one & only Ale.

@Ale Vallecchi  you have got that something that makes your drives special; i enjoyed every minute of this adventure, which ended up a bit later than planned.

I also enjoyed the radio-silence when we were navigating the difficult patches in the desert; we all agreed that summer is still out there, and it only makes the sand even more soft and difficult to drive.

@Mohamad Anwer thank you for your 2nd lead - with your SWB, you showed us the way so as not to get stuck.  and it is great to re-connect after couple of months.

@Fabien Monleau you took control of the Center and was always the first one out of your vehicle to help others; i hope that you managed to get a warranty for your damaged tyre.

@Naim Aoun @Charbel @Bjoern  you were up to the challenge - couple of refusals that always make us enjoy the sand a bit more every weekend.

@Pacific thank you for sweeping us; i preferred to stay in front of you as i was still testing my new air-filter and did not want to take any chances.

and finally our dear Marshal @Islam Soliman  i hope that you have managed to get your car checked and fixed; fortunately your car started acting up 15 minutes before the exit (when we all quite exhausted from the heat).  

Enjoy your week chaps until next time

@Rk ram special mention to you too mate - aside 1-2 stucks, you were amazing during the drive
