Sorry, guys. Due to a sudden change in my travel plans, I have to drop out of the drive.

I'm in wrong place or just because of fog all are delayed?

First off, thankyou everyone for a great drive this morning.

We managed to hit our ride objectives and move through Fayah as a tightly knit team.. no shovels, no ropes, no problems 😍

 

We got to play in the long range dunes, staying high where possible to get the best morning views looking across towards sweihan, play in a few side slopes, and most importantly, SHARE A GIANT WATERMELON 🍉 🍉 🍉 🍉 

@fred_ and @Humi, very nice driving was good to check out your lines and see you taking some of the higher lines in the Sidies 💪 

@Ishakthanks for helping reroute the convoy where I needed to change the plan on the fly 🙏

@JC_E @Johannes Roux and @Zubail perfectly executed drive as usual, zubail was great to see you again after over 6months! Great sweeping @Andrew John Melvill making sure no one was left behind and v helpful with the status updates from the rear.

 

@Gauravgreat work as second lead finessing my lines.. and thanks for taking DP drive over today.🙏🙏🙏

 

Great Sunday morning picnic, enjoy the rest of your Sunday and hope to see you again soon.
