@Frederic amazing drive! Many tricky areas with soft sand, vegetation,  u-turns for long wheels.. at least tried and experiment some features,  got twice pulled, 1 self recovery! Amazing day!

@Gary F thanks a lot for support!

Was happy to see you all!

[ChrisW]

Another really fun drive - thank you, @Frederic  Just as you said, the sand looked relatively pristine out there too…a less travelled road!

 

Good work from @Ishak, @Gary F and @Jeandre Bezuidenhout keeping us all together…thank you!
