Get well soon @Frederic!, @Ale Vallecchi I will skip the drive as I have a 1pm meeting which will be too tight for me to get back! Have a fantastic drive guys and see you soon! 

[Ale Vallecchi]

Hello 

@Myrko@Dan S@Theo Prado@saumik1989@Chrismayer@Abdullah A.@Shary@Kashx2@JohanE@Amr J

First of all, all my best wishes to @Frederic for a swift recovery. Get well!

I'll do my best to follow in the footsteps laid by Fred. At the same time, I'll bring a little bit of my own style to the drive, by trying to make it a longer range track: while still focusing on the more technical side of Faya, we'll look to end it as close to Sweihan as possible, by speeding up the pace in the longer range dunes to the south-east of the technical area. 

See you on Sunday morning. 

[Shary]

Hi @Ale Vallecchi,

Unfortunately, I have to withdraw from this weekend's drive due to a change in plans.

@Frederic, wishing you a very speedy recovery. Get well soon!

Hope you all have a great time in the sand.
