Here is our track and stats from our drive. What is notable is the up and down elevations we nailed a number of times during the morning covering a 40m range. You all did well navigating the stages on our way up and down each time. There were only a handful of second attempts to get the right approach and momentum just right while maintaining good control.

Here is the Relive video of our drive.

Good morning everyone. I hope you and your families are all safe. In a way, I’m really grateful we were able to enjoy this drive together before all the madness unfolded later in the day. Saturday’s route through the Falaj Al Mualla area offered a great mix of technical sections, soft patches, and some beautiful ridges. All of you handled the terrain exceptionally well. The way the convoy navigated the obstacles and worked through the trickier spots made the whole drive smooth and enjoyable. A special thanks to @J-P L and @Danie for the quick shoveling assist when I got myself planted in that soft patch. Also, well done @Soap for learning that new self‑recovery technique—patient rocking, keeping momentum controlled, and gradually freeing yourself without a pull. One to remember. Big appreciation to @J-P L and @Mehmet Volga for solid Center Forward support, and to @Cha for keeping the convoy well‑managed and informed from Sweep. And hats off to @Danie for doing a great job as Second Lead—clean lines, good spacing, and clear corrections throughout. Stay safe, stay kind, and look out for one another. A little consideration goes a long way, especially in times like these.

Thank you for your patience and guiding me through the entire rocking process @Emanuel

Indeed @Andrew John Melvill, such a memorable drive for me. Thanks a lot to all of you @Ale Vallecchi@J-P L@Fabien Monleau! Hoping that the situation will improve very soon so there will be more drives🙃 💪

Thanks @Ale Vallecchi for a great morning drive, making the most of the reduced convoy! The mini leaders lead session was truely appreciated. Young @Nikki1007 had a good masterclass as well, a drive that he will.remember for a long time.

A nice technical drive amidst vegetation and soft sand. There were lot of learning moments for navigating the soft sand.
