Thank you friends for joining. Was really good to have this drive today, despite being busy with tracks. We somehow managed to make a lot of climbs, and moved for about 58 km. It was a shovel and rope free drive. All stucks and refusal were self managed, thank you @Peter Hager and  @Vaibhav for supporting us, and going the drivers whenever required. @Waqas Parvez you were a perfect SL. Pleasure to meet you for first time @Omar ElGamal and @Morshedi , amazing driving capabilities. @Bruno Finel @Ahmad Shaker @Trekado good to see you again. Below our drive info and track.

Look forward to meet again in sand.

Take care, and good week ahead

Driving after heavy rain… new experience for sure. First of all apologies for being late, and was really kind of you guys to wait, till I dropped Abdelghani back home. In the beginning and seeing the rain, thought will have good time driving after rain, or during rain. After receiving comments from previous drives leads, and challenges of driving after rain, was not sure how it will look like. And yes, found it not much fun. Heavy rain, made it good for first desert drivers. For followers (like us) was not much fun, specially if you can not avoid existing tracks, which were really hard. Started moving towards big red, and then on the way to pink rock, we found areas not visited after the rain, which was good and fun. Reached pink rock, and it was really cultivated, and looked horrible, made a round, stop at the top of next dune for some sometime, and back to the area where was better to spend in, which is next to Tawi Nazwa. Had good time, and exited from Tawi Nazwa. In summary:

- total drive 2 hrs 30 min

- moving 2 hrs (most of it silence, on @munkybizness assurance all good)

- total 55 km

- No ropes, no shovel, no winch 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

Amazing support @Lawrence_Chehimi  @munkybizness and @Fabien Monleau. Well done @MMansoor @Mohamad Anwer @Naveen Raj.
