Was a great drive today morning. Was my 1st fewbie drive. Really exciting. Thank you @Asif Hussain for your kind support. Thank you @DP1011 and @Luke K P for your helping hands and patience. Thank you all others who were in the drive. See you again. Cheers.

Thanks for the fun morning outing everyone. @Asif Hussain you chose some very scenic lines through fayah

Some of the terrain definately felt like a challenge esp with some pockets of very soft sand.

We started as the sun had just risen, and made it around 7.5 km before @Sam Selim had a tyre sidewall blowout requiring the team to attach the spare wheel.

After this point the pace was going very strong until we stopped for a coffee break (thanks @DP1011)

After coffee we got into a couple of refusals and stucks that were resolved pretty quickly until @karim hamandi bumped his xterras nose and pulled out the wheel line and got some bumper damage. Hope you can get it sorted quickly, but loved your attitude of putting it behind you and just getting back with the drive! 

We covered around 32km today.. not bad at all given the terrain!

Was great to see familiar faces and meet some new ones! Enjoy your week
