Hello boys .. Thank you all for this wonderful day. It was a real pleasure meeting all of you after a long break and we all as a group made it a superb drive .. Thank you @GauravSoni for planning and executing the drive. It was a notch higher than FB+ and ever one did amazingly well. We never had any stuck .. only a few refusals and re attempts..It was an adrenaline rush day for me after a long break. Thank you @Mario Cornejo for sweeping and controlling the convoy. It was a treat from you while attempting the well known bowls👍. @Benjamin, @Jaro Tuzinsky, @Alexanderrr, @Ignacio Quindós, @Zulfikhar Naiyar @Pierre de Maigretand @salah2u. It was a real pleasure meeting some new and old faces and really enjoyed a day out in badayer with you guys. Thank you guys and see you soon . 👍👍

One of the drives, thank you all for making it today. It was really missing @Ranjan Das, whom I hope he feel better by now. Amazing group of drivers, who were not allowing me to “yalla push” them. They are already pushed, and good they did not overtake me 😅. Was foggy weather, and by the time reached and got ready, it was getting clear, and we started our adventure. Fantastic till the end. Had only one crest and my only pop out. @Ashutosh Garg thank you very much for being an amazing SL, amazing job. @Mehmet Volga very happy and glad to meet you again after long time, and thank you very much for watching us in the back. @Tareq Al Turq hope you enjoyed the drive, and started tasting the IM level drives. Thank you @Abdelghani being an assistant, and changing the gear from 2 to 1 whenever required. @Charbel @Mohamad Anwer @Imteeaz @Sunil Mathew @Simon D @Chris Wingglad to meet you again, and hope all enjoyed the drive as I did. Look forward to see you again in sand.

Dear Drivers, thank you for joining this morning, cutting carefully through the early morning fog to reach the meeting point. Once the briefing done, we had enough visibility to start going, and even if it remained cloudy in the first hour, we had then beautiful views of clouds and mountains, until the sky was totally cleared. I like this itinerary, because if offers a great variety of terrains. We have the small dunes at the beginning as a warm-up, but the hidden bowls soon require to be fully awake. These bowls and the long dune are a perfect preparation for the last part of the drive with higher slopes to come. Then the scenic technical portion, with the red/yellow sand facing the dark mountains is just beautiful. And then we have the slopes of Faya dune, with the big drops and the high climbs where the words "keep a constant momentum" and "don't fight the gravity" take all their meaning. @Abdul Basit Khan thank you for the second lead, very well executed. @Thejas Uthran, congratulations for your 1st FB drive. Your driving is precise, and you managed to take your car through the obstacles. @Rashid Alseeni, well done also for your 1st FB. A constant momentum will help you to pass smoothly the bowls and the climbs. @Nadeem Ansari, 1st FB drive also, once the tires pressure was adjusted, you have improved the behavior of your car. Be more focused on your line and momentum to progress in the coming drives. @rohit kumar, well done for the 1st FB as well, the Raptor has a lot of capabilities, but still it is a heavy beast that must be kept under control, you did it well. @Gary F, @Joseph Sebastian, excellent drive for both of you. remember to keep the control at all time, including in the descends. @Bjoern, excellent drive, and many thanks for the sweep, and to your passenger for the comms ! Finally @Islam Soliman thank you for joining and supporting the convoy from the center. Always a pleasure to drive with you ! Enjoy the rest of the weekend and see you next time !

You’re welcome 😂😂😂

Thanks for the amazing drive this morning!! What’s started as an extremely smooth journey coupled with amazing weather, perfect dunes and fantastic convoy members ended with a very important lesson in team work and community spirit . Really thankful to @Brette, @Vaibhav and Rizwan for leading convoy! @Nicholas Cox1 & @Sammy Six it was nice driving with you guys! We were like the back benchers in school 😂 I’ll upload the pics I have in the gallery!

Thank your @JeromeFJfor giving me an appotinity for 2nd Lead. I really enjoyed the position. Thank your @Islam Soliman for the great support as always. it was fun meeting new members. What i learn today is to select a perfect line to climb, speed not always help in this. I enjoyed X-terra power.

@Gaurav thanks for the amazing drive! For my first time in Fewbie+ it was an adrenaline rush and a nice challenge to keep up with the convoy! Thanks for all the support definitely made me feel welcome to the drive + the new rank @Jaro Tuzinsky it was great seeing you again this time in FB+ and the white rhino! we had an amazing support team this drive who really made sure I was comfortable with the terrain and any mistake I made was backed with informative communication and instructions. I apologize for any refusals that held up the convoy; still enjoyed every last minute of the breathtaking climbs! great to see new faces and some old ones @Alexanderrr @Ignacio Quindós @Zulfikhar Naiyar @Pierre de Maigret @salah2u and @Shaaz Sha

Be careful on the road, during fog the radar speed limit will be reduced to 80km/hr ! @Pascal @Bravoecho@Stumpy Paj@Stan@Ishak@Tharun Kumar V@premindra rajaram@Andrei S@Krishna R@Ahmed Wagdy@VipinShetty@Naveen Raj@Amr Aydin

This was a very pleasant drive, the weather was fantastic too. Thanks a lot @Brette for the same. @essam ibrahim ya shaikh, wallahi when years will have passed, I will hope to have enthusiasm and spirit like you show. Keep it going. Amazing. 👍

I almost thought the drive would be cancelled when I saw the fog in the morning. But then everyone turned up and the weather was beautiful by the time we started. It was one of the first drives I have been where there were no stucks, only refusals and all self recovered. So no added experience of recoveries but on the other hand we covered lot of ground and practiced on bowls, technical dunes and climbs. Thanks @JeromeFJ for planning such a scenic and varied route with plenty of challenging bits with the related learning opportunities. Thanks also to@Islam Soliman for the very useful tips and advice throughout the drive. Was a pleasure meeting all the folks in the drive, look forward to seeing you all next time.

Dear all , many thanks for today nice and really it was very interesting and thanks to all of you for getting my car saved by you experience to get it out . wishing all of team all the best and let us wait for the next drive , which day after day become better with the full experience of @Brette, @Vaibhav,@rizwanm2 and all teams member for today

This is the best way to learning how to drive confidence at desert.

Thank you @Brettefor an amazing drive. We had a surprise addition @Rizwanm2who was a great help taking care of the sweep. With few of them missing from the drive last moment convoy adjustment by @Bretteensured we had a smooth drive. @Stan Hassettexcellent job as second lead. Almost half of the drive completion as we heading towards Big red @Ahmad Quadri had a engine heat indication. Looking from a distance thought it was a radiator issue but noticed there was Coolant leak. As soon we exited the @Ahmad Quadrito the nearest exit we headed to Big Red. On the way to destination we had stuck situation with @essam ibrahim which was challenging as the sand was extremely soft and moving the car was making it tilt further it could result in a pop out. @Brette and @Rizwanm2 along with myself anchored the car and removed it safely. Great driving by @Stan Hassett @Ahmad Quadri @DEEPAK ESWAR @essam ibrahim@Rk ram @Sammy Six @Juzer Gandhi @Jeetu Sharma @Nicholas Cox1. Few pics I have uploaded in the gallery.

Thank you @Frederic and everyone for a nice drive. Beautiful white panorama of Fayah with great long dunes and no buildings around. A pleasant 40 miles drive with almost no waiting stopovers and with a good balance of fun riding and challenging pieces

See you next time

Whoaaaa! 5 jeeps 1 tundra! looking forward to this crazy drive💥🤩

It’s best to “see it to believe it” !! I am looking forward meeting the white Rhino!

Loool… heard his Pajero is the king of the hill when it comes to LWB Pajero performance in @Carnity…. Was I misinformed ??! 🫣

Dear Desert Drivers, The drive on Saturday is one of the "classic" drives that offers a perfect combination of small dunes, medium size bowls, long side slopes, a more technical patch, and some higher climbs in the last part. All of this in a very scenic environment. With the cool weather, be ready to enjoy nice outing on Saturday morning. Having said that, you can notice that we have a long waitlist. Please check carefully your schedule, and if you have changed your plans, remove your RSVP early enough to avoid empty spots on Saturday morning. I will communicate tomorrow the final convoy list, and a few more details.

@Asif Hussain sorry I’ll have to drop off this drive, unexpected business travel came up. You guys enjoy.

Apologies gentlemen, I have to remove myself from the drive. I tried 🤷‍♂️ Enjoy…
