Perfect report @JeromeFJ, thank you for keeping an eye on the convoy and making sure everyone was on the move safely. 

Yes, was impressed with the way the entire convoy did. Navigating through the bulldozer tracks was challenging and at some places I was sure we would have to get the rope out but was pleasantly surprised. Even on the last dune where we stopped to play, I did expect a few stucks but with @JeromeFJ guidance, everyone was out with just minor refusals. 

Again, well done everyone and hopefully soon we will be able to enjoy what we love about sweihan. @Derius Olivier thanks for the pics.

@Brette hope your GC is back in good health - was it the oxygen sensor? 

@Hisham Masaad so pleased to be able to join and support on your first lead and pity it had to be cut short, but as the season is just starting, am sure will be able to join another one in the not so distant future!

The sands in Bidayer were looking majestic yesterday...till next time! 😀 

@TT_Dubai tomorrow I will hopefully find out if its just that or any other issue. 

Yeah, will hopefully post a drive in the same area soon and try to make up for yesterday.
