Running late. Wouldn't want to keep the convoy waiting, dropping out.

Sorry about the last minute drop.

[RiadJL]

Thanks @Davie Chase, @Emanuel, @Gary F, @Fabien Monleau & @Dodi Syahdar for the drive this morning

Great driving from the whole convoy - navigating the chopped up, bumpy terrain and soft sand was a challenge

I liked the switch in the middle where the back half of the convoy switched places with the front half - I think we should do this more often  

@Ben Lee hope the Jeep is OK now and the over heating issue gets sorted  

See you all on the next one!

Dear desert wanderers @Emanuel, @RiadJL, @Giacomo, @nithish468, @Gary F, @Ben Lee, @Fabien Monleau,  @Mahesh_ and @Dodi Syahdar firstly thank you all for being on time this morning, that allowed us to get the briefing done and get away sharp before the glare of the sun got too much to handle.

You guys drove fantastically well today, we managed 47.4 kms with an average speed of 12.8 kmph moving speed of 16.5 kmph and max speed of 49 kmph. We did have a lot of experience in the convoy and support, but having said that it should take nothing away from how well you all drove. This made for a smooth drive with only the one stuck and a handful of refusals that I can remember. We did encounter a couple of hundred meters of overlanding near the end as I had pushed a little to far to the right of where I had intended so apologies for that.

@Ben Lee hope the small heating issues get resolved so you can enjoy the next drive with A/C on

My S/L @Emanuel was in brilliant form anticipating where I might struggle and giving plenty of space allowing me time to get to the radio to redirect the line. This meant that you were able to do this and keep the convoy lines smooth. Thanks and great job my friend.

We did switch the convoy order around which is always good fun, so my center forwards and sweeps @Dodi Syahdar, @Fabien Monleau, and @Gary F did an amazing job of doing as asked when I switched it up, and of supporting the whole convoy in assisting with the couple of refusals and stuck that we encountered.

Great job today guys and thanks for all of the support could not have done it without you guys in support and my S/L.
