@Shaun J added you. @Zed took your place today, so we are sending him back from meeting point.

[RiadJL]

Thank you @Asif Hussain @DP1011 and rest of the convoy for a great drive, it was enjoyable and fun.

I manage to take couple of pictures during pop out fix 😈

Thanks for the fun drive. A new path for fayah for me.. loved the smooth flowing lines that you picked @Asif Hussain.

The epic battle of man vs machine played out on @Shaun J tyre puncture, with us taking quite a while to find the right tool for the job. @Zed left half of his bumper as on the sand as an offering to the desert,.. which unfortunately wasn't enough to stop the desert djins claiming a micro popout on @Andrew John Melvill and a big popouts for @DP1011.

Saw some nice black camels on white sand.

Once I get some videos off the camera I'll drop a link here 

Great driving by everyone on dl very soft sand, thanks for the fun day!

@Asif Hussain, your drives are different! Thank you for the opportunity. And I'm glad I didn't end up at the back of the queue: respect to the guys who were behind me!

Task for the next week... get the spare checked (especially the spare mount and unlock mechanism).

@Zed 's Punisher looks awesome without the bumper cover!

@Luke K P, awesome spectacles, sir!

@Alexanderrr thank you for the shot

@Andrew John Melvill, I managed to capture you in the middle of this lovely approach! Pajero Power!

@DP1011, sweet and dramatic ridge riding:

@Aser, one more for your collection:

@Brett Eicher, one for you too:
