Thank you all for joining the drive today.

We had a great time out in the sand! I started slowly for everyone to warm-up and get in the desert mode. We could enjoy the beautiful morning light and the fresh air, with great views of the surrounding dunes.  After the break, we went for some more action, increasing the pace, and adding a few climbs, experiencing acceleration and momentum.

After another climb, we reached into a hidden bowl, where again we could push the engines to climb, and control the speed in the descent. We continued with a bit of practice in the technical dunes, where everyone was remarkably focused. Then we reached back to the exit through an open dunes area. A nice mix of different terrains !

Great driving from everyone, we had only a few stuck or refusal, nothing major, very well done.

Thank you @Ana for the 2nd lead, @Mark B for the support from the middle, and @Gaurav Narsinghani for the sweep. And for @Nicholas Hubbard, @Piotr1, @DG707, @Taka, @CY Bong, @Hansmtb, thank you for the excellent spirit and supporting the shoveling when needed ! See you soon.

Big thanks to @JeromeFJ for taking us on an amazing desert drive in Nahel. His deep knowledge, constant guidance, and readiness to step out of the car to monitor each and every ride made the off road experience truly remarkable and we have learned so so much from him.

Much appreciation as well to @Mark B @Gaurav Narsinghani for the timely rescue and solid support. Truly a great team effort!
