Mehmet Volga

Enjoy your new journey @munkybizness. Congratulations!

Thank you all for such a great end-of-weekend party! Back to work fully relaxed and recharged. We played on the long ridges of Margham, then tasted from some mid-level technical and surfed again on the longer ones, with only a few stuck & refusals, finished right on time at Skydive.

@Hisham Masaad ; lucky to have you on board, thank you for supporting this drive my comrade. You kept everything in the order.

We had excellent first timers; @Michel Van Woudenberg on the 2nd lead and @Tom B on sweeping slots. You played your roles very smooth friends. Seems you liked it so next time I will create more work for you by having more stuck & refusals  

Fresh fewbies @Jona and @Tareq Al Turq made very good starts for their new fewbie adventures. Keep it up and enjoy!

@Vinod Damodaran @Marcin Wronowski @KKIRAN @Simon Dawood flawless performance in each different terrains with variable paces. Well done 💪

See you all on the next!

It was really nice driving with you after months @Shaaz Sha! Excellent leading, excellent terrain. High pacing, optimum combination of playing and technical challenging. I loved it! ... and I marked very spots for family camping already for my future visits there.

@Thomas Varghese your XT, your camera and your warm friendship ; all were ready to serve for an excellent end-of-weekend party. Thank you for your outstanding support, especially your last tugging recovery at the expense of sacrificing yourself. Your photo shots are amazing. Lucky to have you in the convoy. Well done 💪

@Tom B; it is not a small thing handling 2nd leading after such a desert monster like @Shaaz Sha teleporting from dune to dune! But the convoy followed you and you did it great! Perfect job!

@Vinod Damodaran @Felix Obst @Markus B @Michel Van Woudenberg @Simon Dawood @Will Seivewright outstanding performance, with only a few stucks & refusals, we finished just on time. Keep it up friends!

It was first time for me talking Turkish to the people who are not Turkish in a convoy  Nice to meet you @Markus B & @Michel Van Woudenberg. Bring your Turkish guests to the desert again!

See you all on the sand soon

good evening everybody

here is the convoy order for tomorrow;

We will be using channel#4 on the radio

There is a big muddy pond at our meeting point. go around it to your right to reach the meet point as shown below;

We will have a relatively longer track to reach to Faqa so we will try to keep a higher pace to finish it on time. But depending on the performance of the convoy, a slight delay could be expected around 20-30 min though we will try to avoid. Just to consider...

See you all in the morning. Do not get stuck in that muddy pond. Play the best "Mannish Boy" song by "Muddy Waters" on the way coming...

Well done @Waqar Sarwar

Looking forward to the drive @Mehmet Volga. We ended last weeks' Fewbie plus drive at the same meeting/starting point as your drive - the area we used to cross coming from the tar road, to get onto the track (crossing the cycle track) has turned into a large swamp with all the rain over the last weeks! We basically re- inflated right next to (parallel to) the cycle track, after looping on a side track. Just FYI as I wouldn't have known if I wasn't there on Saturday. 👍

Thank you @Gregory for the info. Yes, I also saw that pond this Sunday in our Fwb+ drive. If still there, we can go around it and meet at the point just before the fence gate. Seems it will be sunny the whole this week so maybe such ponds and muds will mainly be gone until our drive. 

Thanks buddy 👍
