Great drive, my first night drive was very exciting. Thanks everyone! 🙏

Nice and relaxing drive led by @Chaitanya D, as always. You know your convoy very well and make the lines that's suitable for all cars, perfect! Thanks @M.Seidamfor sweeping us, look forward to joining one of your drives very soon. Everyone in the convoy drove so well and the whole drive was fluid with only a few refusals that were nicely self-recovered. Well done all, and good to meet new Carnitians and old buddies! It was a perfect way for me to get back on the sand after a prolonged holiday, business travel and maintenance schedule (for both me and the truck 🤒). Can't wait to join more drives now. Have a great weekend all!

Incredible humble, salt of the earth community, to be honest. Thanks for the amazing drive.

Thank you @Chaitanya D for that amazing drive …it was super fun & I enjoyed it a lot.. Thanks for the support @Karthik Raptor& @M.Seidam u did a very good job keeping us all safe… The whole convoy was just perfect & it was very nice meeting you all

Dear Friends @Sam K @Benjamin @Patrick van der Loo @Fabien Monleau @Mahmoud Taha @Jona @Imteeaz @Rob S Hope you all ready for some action in Faqa. below is the convoy order and radio frequency. See you all tomorrow morning.

Dear Sand Sailors Thanks for joining in for the drive today. Very nice weather, some nice long range dunes and an awesomely capable convoy - made it for a perfect day out on sand. Ofcourse the stylish black and peaceful white was the theme of the day 😂, phew keeping track of order was a bit of task despite repeated reminders from @Abdul Basit Khan that his is Blue 😀🙏 Overall we travelled around 65Km in less than 3 hours of moving time at a rocking speed of around 23Kmph. Usual Murquab drive ends at Lisali, good ones at Love Lake, we crossed it all to reach Solar Park with 5 min to spare. 🏎️🏎️💨💨💨Really an awesome outcome for a FB drive and a testament of the skill set of the convoy. Each one of you did really well, apart from some minor refusal (expected in a long convoy), all of you maintained a very good pace. However, in line with the theme of our drive, we had three stars that shone brighter than rest in their pursuit for inner peace. 😀 In 3rd position we have - @Pranjal Varsani1 Beautiful crest perfectly parallel to the ridge. Honestly in your rpm there was no inner peace 😀 still being the first to be crested and the perfect alignment to ridge gets you the 3rd position. 2nd position ofcourse goes to @Krishna R through a perfect drive, a momentary lapse and we found RED Xterra crested on the ridge - again a nice parralel position to ridge and very calm shoveling and self recovery to secure 2nd position. Undoubtedly the champion of champions for day is @Glenn W that Montero in Yoga pose looked amazingly 🔥🔥🔥 Perfect self recovery through that crest. Very well done, was a super soft spot and you managed it very well. @Zubair - Glenn’s crest on same spot with special yoga pose managed to beat yours hands down. 😀😀 In general brilliant work by you and @Ishak as SL. In addition, we have some one who managed to offer some Peace time to whole convoy. So a special award goes to @Mark B for that cutest of pop out- was almost fixed the moment we brought the car to flat and was more of a PIP out but ensured we had all our tools out today. 😀😀 Again thanks all for joining in and very well done throughout. @Mike M. and @Tharun Kumar V thanks for your support as CF and sweep. @Yaseen87 @Juzer Gandhi @Gary F

Thank you very much @Varun Mehndiratta, it was a superb and super fast drive, enjoyed a lot This was the first time I was driving as Second Lead, thank you very much for the trust and support. As mentioned in the morning to you I have been driving almost all my previous drives in the second half of the convoy and today I realized the difference between driving in a very churned up track & a fresh track @Glenn Where is the photo of the Montero in Yoga position 😄

Thanks for letting me know. 👍 convoy order will be the same.

Looking forward to it, I have changed car now so will be in FJ if you want to update Car list. It should be changed on my profile now.

Perfect climate and a great convoy. Thoroughly enjoyed the morning. Many thanks to @Varun Mehndiratta, @Mike M., @Tharun Kumar V and @Zubair for their support all throughout. Have attached a .gpx route for those that may be interested in the route taken. Hope to see you all soon. Qarayţaysah - Bab Al Shams.gpx

@Varun Mehndiratta, thank you so much for leading the trip and bringing us to experience the terrain in a different way. Thanks to everyone for the teamwork. Thanks to the SL@Zubair. @Mike M., Thanks for the advices, I was very relieved after knowing that I was driving in front of CF. @Krishna R, your advice on crisscrossing, it works 👍 @Tharun Kumar V, thank you for kissing my car

Ha! great write up Varun and thanks for the drive it was great and thanks the honourable mention! My first pop out! to me it looked like my wheels was going fall off! But the team rallied around like a F1 pit crew and we’re back up and running in no time 😊 And yes that recovery by Glenn was a different class! I wish I had that on video! Thanks again guys see you on the next one! 😎😎😎

But I made my own, with stop valve at every connection.

And this time we had both teachers @Islam Soliman and @Hisham MasaadThanks everyone for the patience at the beginning and the energy and encouragement during the drive! Nice to meet new faces @Archibald Jurdi and @Werno , not forgeting @Senthil Kumar! @Archibald Jurdi I hope you and passenger have no lasting effects from your incident and the car gets a clean bill of health from the garage. @Islam Soliman I hope car issues can be swiftly resolved and join you on another drive soon!
