Dear desert Wanderers @Mark B, @Aser, @Hani Howeedy, @munkybizness, @Nizar Shawwa, @Gary F, @Amr A and @Srikumar, thank you for all being on time yesterday and for the amazing drive and company.

@Hani Howeedy sorry you had to leave us early, hope all is good with you guys, maybe try a newbie night drive first to get used to driving at night.

@Mark B great second lead mate, always a pleasure to have you behind me smoothing out the track.

@munkybizness great support in the middle holding everything together always good knowing you are in support.

@Srikumar pleasure as always having you relaxing at the back  seriously though great to know you are back there allows the lead piece of mind to concentrate on what's going on in front.

The rest of the team drove extremely well, even when we picked up the pace in the mid to end sections. i hope you all enjoyed the drive as much as I did and look forward to seeing you all again very soon in the sand

Thanks @Davie Chase for a brilliant drive. Loved the pace and the ease with which you took the convoy through.

Look forward to catching up with you on your next drive.

There’s so much to enjoy in a night drive that I almost always sign up for them. The serenity of the desert calm, making out the light silhouettes sandwiched against the horizon and a tunnel vision that brings even more focus when in the seat. It’s easy to take in all of this and enjoy it to the core, when you’re following behind good leads. For that, and the overall experience, thank you @Davie Chase ✨

Baring the early exit, all of the breaks were perfectly timed and gave enough time to take it all in. In between you chose both the technical and the flow. And it was evident in the very minor re-loops.

Thank you for a great night out, and always a pleasure to be among familiar faces and new.

[Hani Howeedy]

Thank you @Davie Chase @Srikumar for your support and for the rest excuse me for any inconvenience.  Will definitely try night newbie drives first.
