You did very well @Hasan Wahlan. If at any time you felt it was a bit fast you could have let me know.In fact I was very much aware to go slow considering one of the car had a warning light (suspension).

But frankly,  you all drove well which was fantastic for a Newbie drive.  We had a mix of everything, and some good learning on recoveries.

@Chaitanya D Jokes apart you managed the whole drive very well, once again thank you for making it very fun and an adventurous trip.

Thank you guys it was fun today, fun and challenging. I believe it was an good learning experience, thank you @Chaitanya D for the tips for tackling challenging obstacles but do go a bit slow on us ;). 

@Alex Sidorov @Amanda Milnes @Hashem Rihan it was good to see you again.

@muzrma @Ruan van den Heever it was nice meeting you.

I hope to see you all next week and wish you all an restful weekend.
