@ChrisW - thank you for jumping in for @_luke_ (hope you got home without further delays) - and taking us through the dunes in the opposite direction, so we could learn the different techniques of driving with/against the Sun. I really enjoyed the drive yesterday with the various terrains and speeds. Everyone drove really well, good to see the learning, techniques and confidence coming together enabling us to do such enjoyable drives! P.s - @Piotr., we also tested today the importance of having eyes all around 😜👍 Got home almost at 20:00 after the afternoon drive, so clearly had a “from dawn till dusk” drive yesterday 🤪

@ChrisW thanks for leading today’s trip! It was great to drive the route in the opposite direction (west). @JC_E, @Zsolt and @Hani crest king thanks for your excellent support. It was a pleasure driving and chatting with you all. See you soon in the sand! Piotr

Hey guys - all in all a great drive, thank you for both attending today and sticking with me! We had a mix of everything, starting out with a warm up on the small but rolling dunes at Tilal, before moving to explore the wider area of play dunes. We then picked up the "desert highway" and took some higher speed Baja style on the track. After hitting the Fox Dens and taking a break, we moved into the technical terrain - firstly to search out some bowls (...which turned out to be more like a tea cup than a bowl), and then to exercise our technical driving skills more generally. After working our way through some tight tunes, we picked up the track and flew west towards Sweihan, taking some time to explore the farm areas and confirm the existence of an exit track. @JC_E - A special thank you for your work in second lead today. Our mix of fast driving, slower technical and everything in between meant you had to work especially hard to manage distance to my car and picking out the optimal line - which you did excellently. Thank you. @Enrico - Mountain - The desert driving skills are really coming together well! Today we got to see you applying some good techniques for higher speed driving, and finding the right balance when taking a blind crest. The brief stuck was no issue - far better to approach such a feature with too little speed than the other way around. @Piotr. - Good work with the Raptor today. You mastered getting the car through the technical sections, well done. @Ahmed Farouk - The shorter Jeeps always demand accurate steering, and you kept the car on the right line in all terrains - good work, well done. Keep practicing the convoy spacing - today we had a big range of speeds and terrains, which requires choosing the right distance at the right time. @Zsolt - Good support work today, thank you for jumping straight in with helping the convoy. I hope you're not too tired after the following drive this afternoon! @Danie - Can really see the confidence coming through. You put the 2-door Jeep where it needed to be on all the lines. Good work. @Hani crest king - I always love seeing the truck out on the sand! Pleasure driving with you, and extra points for bringing a suit jacket out with you too 😂

Thank you for taking the convoy this morning @ChrisW, Ill have to wait till Wednesday night to meet the Aussie legend @_luke_. Today was a good mix with alot of fun with the baja bits. Although my driving is improving it was still me who had to get a tug or two, the first not giving enough gas to climb a hill following a dip, and the second getting plomped on a bushel - someone had to provide the entertainment . Thank you @JC_E for the pull, the wildebeest is not as light as you thought hey.
