Hi @Ale Vallecchi yes I will be coming, confirmed! 

Edit: 4:50pm :  I'm sorry @Ale Vallecchi I just read above you have changed the route, we had another drive on almost same route today morning with @DP1011 so I'm withdrawing from this drive will join on next week.  

@Julien Recan, you have been added automatically to the drive after Haneef's drop out. Do you confirm the participation? Thanks

Thank you @Ale Vallecchi and the whole convoy for the drive. Challenge completed. It was fun seeing and recovering @Hani Howeedy and @RiadJL. Have a great week ahead. Keep digging. Keep clawing.

Thanks @Ale Vallecchi for the drive this morning. Fast paced, technical, bumpy and loooong  Lots of fun!

Great driving by the whole convoy. Only a few stucks and refusals meant we were able to keep the pace relatively fast but still ended up going slightly longer than planned. 

This was my first drive that ended up moving past noon and I got to see the visibility issues at that time of day - I guess the light colored sand didn't help. Amazing how Ale navigated that last technical stretch - was hard for us following to see the track and he didn't even have a track to follow 😅

Proud to have completed the 100km challenge. Well done all!

Glad to see you guys completed 100kms.  Quite a challenge. 🦾

@Ale Vallecchi thanks for a fantastic drive this morning, that we all managed the complete over 100km through the technical terrain covered is testament to your navigation skills. Proud of the LRDG sticker, my grandfather was a navigator in the LRDG during WW2 in North Africa.

@Ale Vallecchi always a pleasure and fun driving with your lead, the pace was great with the mix of different terrains. Mission very well accomplished and thank you for LRDG sticker. @Batuhan Kulac thank you for all the support you gave the convoy today wether front or back, while driving with no a/c real champion.

Thanks @Ale Vallecchi, I love the exploration drives!
