Dear @siddharth maheshwari I am afraid, will be too difficult to extend the convoy. The limit for a FB drive is 12, which I have already extended to 14. It is all about control and safety, hope you appreciate and accept. Unless a drop out, will be difficult for you to join.

@Stav @Simon Claes @Alain Canivet-Abikhalil 

below the convoy order. Would appreciate the arrival about 20 minutes early to be ready to start sharp on 2 pm. 

Dear  @Simon Claes and @Stav can extend the drive bu two, please confirm availability

Dear @KAMALIO @Naim Aoun @Mohamad Anwer @Vaibhav @Reggie Landicho @Davie Chase @Mario Cornejo @Ahmad Shaker @Trekado @Fabien Monleau thanks for signing up for the drive, I am personally looking forward. However, having 4 waitlisted, would really appreciate reporting possibility of drop out ahead of time, allowing our friends on the waitlist to join. I wish I can extend the drive, but unfortunately might be difficult to do. 

Congratulations @Simon Claes well done

Congratulations @Xavier Treasurer well done

Dear @Mark D As said by @Fredericgood question, not easy to answer. I went through many options, and found the most cost effective ones are the magnet ones. My car x owner used to use it, and I had to buy another phone cover to fix the metal plate, since metal and wireless charging did not work. When go in sand I just put the cover with metal cover. Another costly option and very strong, RAM mounts, I am using to hold the iPad 12.9in, and they have much more options for all devices. Unfortunately no much options in Amazon, but you can buy direct from USA. 

congratulations @Stav

Congratulations @kiranshinde well done

Congratulations @Faisal Alhashimi well done.

Good morning everyone. 

What an amazing afternoon drive. As scheduled all were almost on time at the meeting point, despite Google maps trying to push us for short cuts, which were illegal. Eventually all reached, and apologies, will change the meeting point to one of the interchanges, instead in between. Waited some time for @Chris Wingbeing the sweep, and decided to surprise @Peter Hager to be in sweep position, who never did before. @Jeepie explained what is required from the sweep, and the excitement started. 

In the beginning didn't want to start with the big dunes of Big Red. being close to the meeting point, till I and every one warm up, and check how every one is doing with low hight dunes. Crossed Big Red, and found all are doing well and thirsty for more challenges. Went back to the Big Red, and every one had his chance to climb on both sides, and was great job by all. After that we started heading towards pink rock, which we usually climb, but unfortunately, with the new roles, we could not climb. When I found, reaching pink rock was fast, easy and without any issue, and there was plenty of time, had to make a turn and go back, trying to scan all dunes. Below how the track looked like.   

Completed in 3 hours about 50 km, which is really amazing. We did not need to have any shovel or tug.

Thank you @Jeepie for being second lead, @Sunil Mathew for your support in the centre, amazing. And thank you very much @Peter Hager being the good news sweep. All over the drive, I was hearing always "all good and moving" which was encouraging me to more forward with more confidence that all are enjoying and managing.

Thank you @KAMALIO @AlexM @Davie Chase @Waqas Parvez @Vaibhav @Reggie Landicho  for joining, you were all amazing and happy to meet you.

Look forward for another drive.

Nice week ahead all

Take care

Hisham
