Thanks for the fun drive yesterday everyone. Was glad the heat didn't rise to much and we could enjoy smooth flowing dunes. We made around 75km across big dunes, technical dunes, long range dunes, and some sabkhas. I have the average moving speed at 33.4 kph @Looper, so I think the high speed on the sabkhas helped move it higher 😅 See you all again sometime soon.

Dear Desert Wanderers,, @ZakWarah, @Wilfredo Perez, @Mark B, @Aser, @Sandeep Nayar, @Nizar Shawwa and @Gary F Firstly thank you all for being on time this morning that meant we were able to get the briefing done and move off in short order enjoying more of the beautiful Fayah desert. We managed a whopping 53.6 KM's with a moving speed of 20kmph so once again well done to all You guys drove amazingly well with only a handful of refusals and one stuck that @Wilfredo Perez managed beautifully to self recover from/ so great job all and great driving you guys rocked it. Thanks @Aser for the great second lead, amazing job my friend, kept the right distance to allow quick changes in direction or to allow a hold for the rest of the convoy whilst i sorted myself out. thanks was sensational. @Gary F thanks for sweeping us today, amazing job for your first support drive, was not that busy but busy enough to keep you on your toes, great instructional commands from the back to allow those in front of your to learn as they drove. great job look forward to having you support one of my drives after my vacation. @Mark B superb job in the Center keeping everyone together, unfortunate that we had to exit you with some car trouble, but it is a jeep :), hope you get it resolved quickly and it does not break the bank, Great job supporting the drive today thanks and see you again soon.

It was great to drive with you again @Islam Soliman with you in lead and @Mahmoud Taha in sweep. After much time we finally met @M.Seidam and work together to recover a couple of stucks. A big welcome to the new joiners @SShan, @JanS, and @nithish468! You all did well on your first drive. Some had more practice than others at finding the sweet spot between just enough power and a wee bit short. 😄 Being one with our cars takes time, patience and practice.

Here are some stats from our drive

A big thanks to all the members of today's drive . It was really a good experience which includes learning the techniques of driving off the tarmac and getting more knowledge on recovery. Hope to meet you guys again.

Thanks @Islam Soliman, @M.Seidam & @Mahmoud Taha for the drive this morning. Challenging, technical terrain with a lot of work for @M.Seidam 😆 We got to experience a good mix of the basics - climbs, descents, some slide sloping and minor crossings. Great to meet everyone and hope to see you all again soon

Thanks everyone for a great drive, and @Davie Chase for the early exit, sorry to hold you guys up but Hope everyone had a great morning out in the sand, will see you all again soon

@Misha Puskar of course no problem at all 😊

Nothing spectacular in this first video 😇 My first fewbie drive back in January going to the Yellow Truck. Looper please write about your workflow, planning to upgrade to a 360 at some point....

Thanks for the videos @Emanuel! Nice to meet everyone - see you next time!

Yes mate! It sure will 😎😎 thanks for the escort out

So sorry that I had to miss this one, sound like it was a great drive!

Thanks @JanS for trying .. don’t worry we will figure out something tomorrow .. looking forward to meet you in the morning

Hi @Islam Soliman, I have tried everywhere but couldn’t find a flag with a Pajero mount in one day. If the flag is a must, then I will pass tomorrow, secure it over the week and sign up for next weekend. if I can still join without a flag/borrow one, then I am in. Thanks. Jan

@Aser here you go:

@Looper I’m sorry mate I can’t make it I noticed the engine temp started getting very hot I’m leaking coolant. Will have to call off. I deeply apologize was looking forward to meeting everyone

Hi @JanS.. thanks for sharing the details.. pls try to source a flag tomorrow so you come prepared for the a safe drive with the convoy. Also compete the readings and watch the video on the main drive post prior to the drive.

Yes sorry for the confusion, been a long week, but now I know it is shorter than I initially thought and I have an extra day
