@Alexanderrr @Michael asir @Giacomo @Bjoern @Glenn W @Mehmet Volga thank you for joining the drive today.

We had to wait until 8:00 am for the fog to vanish, but it was worth the wait !

We had a fluid drive, no stuck, a few refusals rapidly handled, and we could drive the planned route, barely cutting the playing time in some areas. The weather was beautiful, nice and fresh, and I had a lot of pleasure taking the group along,  climbing the dunes, riding the ridges, and passing nice view points and remarquables dunes or bowls. I hope you enjoyed the same.

Enjoy the rest of the weekend and see you soon !
