It was one more epic drive to follow the waypoints and some 14days old broken ready made tracks of DCT participants which was left behind on 9th nov 2024. We started our drive 30mins late and added that extra minutes to end our drive and finished the drive on time - 1.30pm. Initially we planned to cover 17 waypoints but ended up doing 11 waypoints and collected 130 points. @Andrew John Melvill thank you for being my second lead and correcting my wrong moves every now and then. @MUSTAFA hussain @Marek @Beide Worku i am sure you guys loved the taste of DCT bumps. @Aser my DCT competitor you did not disclose any secret strategy of your team Dune Navigators @Luke K P we reached to the exact location where i left my radio and followed my recorded track and back tracked for some distance, didn't even find the foot prints of our track in that area. The lost radio mystery is unsolved. RIP Motorola 777.

@Marek Plan is to drive until the fuel gauge warning shows up. I will exit only when i hear someone saying on radio "i am running out of fuel"

awesome pictures @Marek
