Dear Desert Wanderers @Stumpy, @Cesar Chacon, @khlief, @essam ibrahim, @Pramod B, @Gary F,  @Shiju Raju, @Shaun J, @Mahmut, @Bravoecho, & @Bjoern, Firstly thank you all for being on time so that we could get away sharp in the morning that is always a bonus. i hope you all enjoyed the drive as much as I did, I did say at the briefing that the sand would be soft after the recent sand storms, however, even i was surprised at how soft it was. You guys dealt with the conditions brilliantly, we had a few stucks and refusals but that is all part of the hobby and learning journey, not just for the car that is stuck but for the other club members and the support team.

@Stumpy fantastic second lead mate, absolutely nailed it, great gap between me and you allowing you to anticipate my issues and great communication, to stop me if you heard anything on the radio that I maybe did not hear top marks today for my Second Lead.

@Bjoern great job at sweep mate, keeping me update as to whether we were moving or had issues, great job and thanks for your support today.

@Gary F, very busy Centre forward, but you are getting stronger in the support role with every drive. you handled all of the stucks in a calm and professional manner with very little input from me, great job mate thanks for the support could not have managed without you today.

Hope you all have a great rest of your weekend and see you all in the sand again very soon

 

[Shaun J]

Thanks @Davie Chase for the drive, looking forward to seeing the new flag next weekend.

@Gary F great CF, very calm and clear in your instructions during people’s refusals and stucks. 
 

Good drive to get out and start the weekend. Thanks to everyone in the convoy.

 

@Stumpy and @Bravoecho thanks for the quick blast on big red at the end, you showed the prowess of the raptor during that for sure. Hope your guest enjoyed his time.

 

see you all again in the sand pit soon
