Gertjan Posted November 10, 2023 Report Share Posted November 10, 2023 Hi @Davie Chase, the Solar Park part of the drive still planned? I see Jerome mentions the baja event. I am eager for your trip, have lately not been able to get out on the sand as much as I would like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Davie Chase Posted November 11, 2023 Author Report Share Posted November 11, 2023 Dear Desert Wanderers @Gertjan @essam ibrahim @Bjoern @Rafey Hashmi @Patrick van der Loo @Dan S @DanielN @Ishak and @Cha what a fantastic way to start the weekend, I cannot thank you all enough for making the drive a memorable one and a very enjoyable one. We started off on time only to get stuck behind a very large camel train. In our attempt to navigate them we hit some technical dunes, however, you all handled them brilliantly. We then got into our stride on the mid to long range flowing dunes of Nahel, we made good pace and covered a total of just short of 51 km’s. The distance covered shows how well you all drove with only one or two sticks and a couple of refusals. We could not get to Solar park due to the festivities there, we will try again in the near future. A big thank you to the guys at second lead and Sweep, @Bjoern and @Gertjan respectively, you guys both did a fantastic job and kept me informed all the way through. A special thank you to the busiest guy in the convoy @Cha, amazing support and patience as you worked through the issues we had and resolved them with the utmost professionalism. Drive stats I hope you all enjoyed the drive as much as I did and that you all have a fantastic weekend. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
