The temperature, 11C and the sun just creeping up the hills as we started our drive was just perfect.

Clean dunes all for ourselves made it even better.

I really loved the numerous opportunities to ride the ridges

The fast paced section of the drive really amped it up. 

Congrats @Aser on your 100th drive

Thanks @Luke K P for the Shovelling Course 102 and the wonderful drive.

Masterclass on how to use a shovel 😎😅

Thanks @Luke K P for an amazing drive in one amazing place! The combination of long range dunes, technical sections and faster paces sections was unforgettable!! Thanks to all the support @Andrew John Melvill @ChrisW @M.Seidam and last but not least @Aser! Your guidance, insights, and advice is always highly appreciated!

A great morning out with a top group of off-roaders!

 

Thank you for leading a very relaxing drive @Luke K P. We quickly found the promised long-range dunes and entered a collective flow-state…everyone focussing on driving, enjoying the terrain, minimal radio chatter. Your brave attempts to cut a path through a few ridges gave us the opportunity to shovel…which actually gave some natural breaks and a chance to stop and enjoy the desert a few times. 
 

@Aser Congrats on the 100! Great to see it. 
 

@Ahmed Farouk It was a pleasure to follow your new Jeep! I’m biased, but it looks great and you’ll be zooming on the dunes before long. @JC_E it was good having you with me in the middle of the convoy too - good driving today, you make that LC move very well on the tight terrain. Finally to say, whilst I was further away, @Soap your driving today was good - it’s excellent to see the skills coming along.

Thanks everyone for showing up and having a great morning out in the sand.. My drive summary will be very short:

• everyone drove very well and in control on some sand that was unsual because of the wetness.
• we really conquered some amazing pristine areas.
• really felt like we kept a fast pace up most of the time, and just turning curve into curve into curve was magical.
• thanks everyone for shovelling me out multiple times 🤪 .

See you all again in the sand soon, and enjoy your week!
