@Gaurav apologies, but I won't be able to make this drive tomorrow. Enjoy!

First drive with the group, enjoyed it in capital letters, and learned a lot.

Just wanted to say how much I appreciate the group structure and dynamic, this ensures a great learning curve in a controlled setting.  Really good to experience, thanks all!

[Soap]

Great learning experience. Looking forward to the next ride

Amazing drive today! Thankyou @Gaurav for leading us in and out!

 

Everyone drove really well,. We covered some ridge riding, some big power climbs as well as coming down some steep descents.

While the day started fairly cool... The temps had started rising before we finished... Now that it's getting hotter it's a good idea to check your tyres pressure when we have an extended break to keep your car performing well in the sand as @Emanuel mentioned. 

I was glad to see so many people counting the camels, as I would have been in trouble from the kids when I got home of I didn't have a camel count 🐪🐪🐪🐪🐪

End to end was about 31km today.

Enjoy the rest of your weekend and hope to see you in the sand again soon 🐪
