Thanks for the great drive today Simon. Some pics below, including some of the well-handled/recovered tricky situations that came up.

Dear Desert Wanderers @Sandeep N, @Paul eldhose, @Chrismayer, @Neha Jain, @B.K., @JC_E, @Joji varghese, @Mei ling, @Zsolt, @Yury, @vinayak n, @Martin Schwaiger, and @Rajiv Sam, Firstly thank you all for making the drive today an amazing start to the weekend, it was an amazing drive, with amazing people full of fun and comradery and team work displayed was second to none. To put our drive in perspective we had three absolute newbies and three drivers with only one drive each, but you would not have thought so given the way you all drove. We had some beautiful clean white and in places soft sand to contend with and you all took it in your stride. We did encounter a couple of refusals and stucks, but hopefully we gave you all a learning experience as we resolved these issues. Please remember that the whole drive was designed as a learning experience, from shoveling techniques, to self-recoveries, mastering sidies to straight up and overs. and by the end of the drive you all had mastered these techniques, now you just need to practice them as practice really does make perfect. We had a great second lead by @Sandeep N who followed my instructions and smoothed out my lines, well done and thank you for all your help today. A big shout out and thank you to our Center forward for the day was @Joji varghese who effortlessly handled the middle of the pack and kept the center of the convoy glued together. and a big thanks to our sweep @Rajiv Sam who kept the convoy safe at rear and together as a whole. great job both of you.

Great drive today! Thank you @Simon D for all insights and learnings in each step. It was a well paced drive and full of different maneuvers to learn (and get stucked!). The beginning with a more technical terrain (and full of bushes) was simply great to warm up and get ready for the second part. After a technical explanation of the maneuvers at the break, we started the second half of the drive with some bigger dunes to pratice our criss-crossing and side slopping technique. I felt I was learning a bit more in each one of them! Also thanks to @Faraz94, @Senthil Kumar and @lucas amat for their support. And finally thank you to all the amazing drivers that we had today. It was a pleasure and hope to see.you soon on the sand.

Thank you ever so much to everyone for making my first experience such a positive one. What a group.

Thanks @Davie Smooth_Operator for a great lead, and very informative learning session! Also thanks to all the support crew, @Sandeep N @Joji varghese @Rajiv Sam. Was loads of fun! Cant wait for the next one!😬
