The issue I personally see with these is that the driver uses it when trying to communicate and cannot get close enough to the mic, this results in hardly audible comms that the trip lead or support team, or any other member of the convoy for that matter are not really able to hear what is being said. This can obviously lead to safety issues as we rely on good communication via the radios during the drives. so if you have these mounts please take the radio in hand and use it close to your mouth in order that the comms are audible to all. And as @GauravSoni points out it is all too easy to leave it attached to the mount when you exit the car. I always prefer a breakaway lanyard around my neck.

Dear Desert Wanderers, @Frederic, @Rob S, @Abdullah N, @khlief @Renier Venter, @Shiju Raju, @Shinebabu, @Julien Recan, @Xavi Moyano, @Jitin, @Ben Lee, & @Abdul HannanThank you one and all for making my last lead of 2023 such a memorable one. We had it just about all today, starting off with a beautiful display of hot air ballooning floating overhead to great us as the sun rose and just before we set off. Next we got buzzed from above by several Para planes that probably came closer than I would have liked but they managed to glide just above our flag tops and did not land on top of us Next we had several sightings of Arabian sand Gazelles coupled with some rather large camel caravans, luckily during this last sighting no one got the hump (including the farmer who was watching us with his beady eyes lol) The terrain was heavily cross tracked and had some thickish vegetation in places, with dampish sand in the morning making way to soft top with a harder under belly later in the drive. The convoy managed all of this extremely well as we meandered through the desert, only encountering a couple of Minor stucks that were quickly dealt with by our superstar support team member @Rob S. who also played a blinder at sweep keeping me informed all the way around of what was happening at the rear of the convoy. Always pleasure and a comfort to have you in the convoy my friend. My second Lead @Ben Lee did a Stirling job smoothing out the lines for the convoy to follow. great job and look forward to having you in S/L again in the near future. Our C/F of the day and award for best use of a small hand brush with little to no affect during a stuck situation goes to my good friend @Frederic, thank you for bringing your own style to a recovery and giving us all a good laugh as usual. Truly an honor and a pleasure having you support one of my drives. I hope you all have a great rest of your weekend, and I would like to wish you all a very happy new year. Whatever you are doing this weekend, please do it safely so you are able to join more of our fun packed drives in 2024 HAPPY NEW YEAR one and all :):):)

I hope you all enjoyed the drive as much as I did. I have put a few pics in the Gallery. We had a little of everything today and you guys handled it all brilliantly. Great team work to fix a pop out in F1 style time frame, thanks to some superb Jack work from @Tom B and prowess on the shovel and @Rob S with some also nifty shovel work although the water bottle was a bit of a let down Congratulations to @Bjoern for your first ever cresting, it was a nice one which allowed us to get the shovels out and aid in a great self recovery. Fantastic second lead by @Mark B reacting quickly and effortlessly to my various commands even though I got left and right mixed up 😂 Superb support today meant that I was confident in taking some nice lines as I knew the convoy was in safe hands and being watched over by @Cha in the middle and @Rob Ssweeping us. You guys did an amazing job supporting the drive, thanks you it was much appreciated. The rest of the convoy drove brilliantly and made for a free flowing smooth drive. thankyou and have a great rest of your weekend 😀😀😀😀😀😀

@DP1011 congratulations on a fantastic lead my friend, I really enjoyed the drive and really did not have a lot of smoothing to do. Your lines were excellent and you navigated traffic with expertise. Well done and keep it up. the convoy of desert wanderers @Rafey Hashmi @Maytham Mahroos @munkybizness @frederic demolder @george charbel @Lala G @Felix Obst @Gary F @Joji varghese@Pacific drove superbly through some bumpy terrain caused by a lot of cross tracks and of course navigating the shaik Zayed road type traffic we encountered. the support team did an amazing job @Pacific @munkybizness and @Joji varghese thank you guys for coming out and supporting us, it is always a pleasure to have you all in the convoy and it also allows us to focus on leading as we know the middle and end of the convoy are in safe hands. have a great rest of your weekend and hope to see you all very soon in the desert 😃😃😃😃😃😃
