This will be drive 100 for @Imteeaz. Must find a great spot for a team photo to mark the occasion.

Thanks for the nice drive guys! 

[Frederic]

Thank you all for joining guys ! 

Everyone made it perfectly on time, and after a short briefing we headed out into this lesser-known area, even though we came across some cross tracks here and there.

I believe the terrain offers various challenges, from the vegetation in some areas, technical narrow dunes, and also some beautiful dramatic bigger dunes. All in all perfect for a morning out with a fantastic team.

Despite the big convoy, we only had a handful of refusals and no stucks, which shows the strength and capabilities of all of you. Well done!!

With a superb support team, in @Emanuel@Imteeaz and with @Davie Smooth_Operator in the back pushing us forward, i could focus looking ahead trying to find the next clean area  

Congrats to @Imteeaz for completing his 100th drive with us. Next to his brilliant support qualities, you are a super skilled off-roader and genuine bliss to have you amongst us. 

See you all soon back into the sands !

Guys in the link is some footage. I’ll try to post some more if time permits as it is not that smooth of a process due to the limitations on large file sharing on the Carnity page.

It’s been a while that I have driven with @Frederic and what a great drive. I brought a passenger to convert him and he was reasonably impressed. Great to see @Davie Smooth_Operator back and roaring about at the rear, directly behind me.  Thanks @Emanuel @Imteeaz for the support to the long convoy. It was a great morning drive.  The pop out was resolved quickly with great team work. @Tanveer Ahmedi hope the tyre did not present any issues on the drive back. It was my great pleasure to drive behind @J-P L The Jimny was brisk and nimble. I had to dig deep to keep up.  
see you all next time and have shared some photos in the gallery

@Frederic was a truly superb drive with the usual great lines and well thought out plan. always enjoy your drives allowing me to relax at the back

Great support from a truly amazing team, in @Emanuel and @Imteeaz always a pleasure to drive with you guys and see how you have grown into leaders, and congrats @Imteeaz on your 100th drive with Carnity.

The convoy drove exceptionally well throughout the drive, I believe we did not have any stucks (that i can remember) and just a handful of refusals that were expertly dealt with by the aforementioned support guru's.

Hope to see you all in the sand again very very soon,

Thanks @topgear  and all the team @Imteeaz @Emanuel @Davie Smooth_Operator @Fredericfor helping with the out. The Tyre did not cause any trouble, however I had to replace the old TPMS sensor and reprogram the new one. Got the desert cleaned out from the Tyre and rebalanced it as suggested by all the wonderful people on the drive. Took about 30 minutes overall and 200 dhs. Nothing hurt except my ego 😅
