Thanks again Davie and the whole team for making this morning such a fun drive. I really felt like I learnt a lot today and my 8yo son Henry had a ball too in the passenger seat. 👍 Wont stop talking about the "camel bones" he found by the rocks.. 😂

My second drive and what a fantastic morning. @davie c smooth operatorthanks for organising the drive... @Ishaksuper learning experience behind you... @Benje_Junior thanks for all the guidance during the refusals @Dodi Syahdar, @Mehmet Volga thanks for the support!! Look forward to see you all soon!! Have a lovely weekend!!

Dear desert wanders, @Jose Luis Campos, @frederic demolder, @Steve Farmer, @Vijaya Kumar Doppa, @saumik1989, @Ishak, @Frans M, @Ozgu, @nickJp, @Yurybel, @Benje_Junior, @Dodi Syahdar and @Mehmet Volga Firstly thanks for all showing up on time this morning, for those that made it through the roundabout to the parallel track well done, we could not follow as by the time everyone was at the roundabout the first cyclists were already upon us so we had to wait patiently for them to pass. Patients as we know is one of the most important traits of an off-road enthusiast, however, our patience is not normally tested so early in the morning and not even before we entered the sand. however it allowed time for getting to know the newer members of Carnity and those that had passengers with them. Therefore, the drive start was delayed but we still managed to get a good 4 hours in so all is well that ends well. You guys drove extremely well throughout the challenging terrain that Al fayah provides us. to only have one stuck and a handful of refusals is tantamount to the driving skills shown by you all. I really hope you all had the opportunity to learn a little more about your cars capabilities and your own driving abilities which will only improve with patience and practice. We as leads and support teams are learning every time we go out into the desert as this is a continuous learning loop. A special thank you to the team that came out to join the drive and support us in our effort to get around the desert safely. My Second Lead @Ishak, great job with the distance behind me allowing you enough time to react and change direct or hold as I asked you to, you did not miss a beat today so well done and thank you. My Two Center Forwards, @Dodi Syahdar and @Benje_Junior thank you both for your support it is great to see you guys growing in confidence and knowledge, leaving me to do little but listen to music and try to navigate the dunes ahead, amazing support from you both thanks and see you soon on one of my drives. Our sweep for the day was @Mehmet Volga who did a fantastic job sweeping the rear of the convoy and keeping me informed every step of the way, great job my friend keeping us all in line, together and safe. Thanks and appreciated. Some stats below and a little relive video to watch, Pics are in the gallery. https://www.relive.cc/view/vDqgx48wPGv

Thanks a lot @davie c smooth operator and all the team @Ishak @Benje_Junior, @Dodi Syahdar @Mehmet Volga! It was a really really nice drive today! It really was! As @Steve Farmer said, I also had the feeling that I was learning a lot and understanding and controlling my car. The rest of the drivers, congratulations to all. It was great to watch all the team spirit! Hope to see you all soon in the sand!

Lack of momentum, didn't recognize this, and didn't turn down. All this, followed by a hard brake meaning sand was heaped round the wheels

Or actually maybe they did realize, and that's why the put they breaks on 🥴

We will meet at same place as we are all stuck hopefully not too long we will look at extending the finish time mall part of the experience and patience required for the sport 😃

Waiting for cyclists to pass and will come

Racing today in Sweihan my usual coffee spot has waiting for fuel
