  1. Dear Desert Wanderers @Sviatoslav, @Guido Ferriani, @Theo09, @Adam Black, @Damien, @MHD91, @Wilfredo Perez, @Frederic118, @Vipin M, @ChrisW, @Sameer D., @Lea Degner, @Emmanuelle Ifrah, @Fabien Monleau & @Sunil Mathew firstly I would like to thank you all for being on time deflated and flags up, this allowed us to start the briefing and be underway by 14:25. You all drove extremely well with zero stucks and only a handful of refusals. so well done to each and every one of you @Theo09 great second lead and eventually sweep when we had to swap you and Fabian out, you followed my instructions to the tee which allows for a smooth flowing convoy. @ChrisW hope you get the car sorted quickly and easily and that we see you again in the sand real soon @Sunil Mathew great support in the CF roll, really appreciate you being in the middle buddy a lot less for me to worry about, thank you much appreciated. @Fabien Monleau great job in the sweep, always a pleasure to having you along my friend, and great job towing the jeep out, that went a lot smoother than I could have hoped for, thanks again and appreciate all the support Apologies we had to cut the drive a little shorter than we anticipated, and hope to see you all in the sand again real soon
  2. Dear desert Wanderers @Mark B, @Aser, @Hani Howeedy, @munkybizness, @Nizar Shawwa, @Gary F, @Amr A and @Srikumar, thank you for all being on time yesterday and for the amazing drive and company. @Hani Howeedy sorry you had to leave us early, hope all is good with you guys, maybe try a newbie night drive first to get used to driving at night. @Mark B great second lead mate, always a pleasure to have you behind me smoothing out the track. @munkybizness great support in the middle holding everything together always good knowing you are in support. @Srikumar pleasure as always having you relaxing at the back seriously though great to know you are back there allows the lead piece of mind to concentrate on what's going on in front. The rest of the team drove extremely well, even when we picked up the pace in the mid to end sections. i hope you all enjoyed the drive as much as I did and look forward to seeing you all again very soon in the sand
  3. @khlief understand however I have to consider the safety of the whole convoy, if someone drops out later today or tomorrow you will be added. Apologies but this is as large a convoy as I can comfortably manage. Hope you understand. Keep watching this space in case of a last minute drop out

  16. Dear Desert Wanders @frederic demolder, @Ale Vallecchi, @GauravSoni, @Ishak, @Frans M and @Robk, firstly thank you all for being on time this morning and being ready to go at the start time. The drive was amazing, and you guys all drove exceptionally well, so well in fact that we had zero stucks and only a handful of refusals, so well done to each and everyone of you. The drive pretty much had everything in it, with some half decent climbs, some cross overs and some ridge riding. we did encounter a little shrubbery along the way but for the most part we had some virgin sand to play on. @Ishak great S/L, good distance, attentive and followed my instructions well, you were able to react when needed so great job in smoothing out the lines for me, well done. @frederic demolder, amazing drive given it was your first Fb+ i hope you enjoyed it and your father also enjoyed the drive. Just be mindful of lines and getting fully onto ridges before crossing. @Frans M you drove extremely well, also be mindful of getting on the ridge and keeping both wheels either side, remember to wiggle the steering (not violent turns just gentle wiggling), this helps to keep you on the ridge as it moves the sand away from the front tires, just be mindful to be smooth. @Robk great drive, we chatted about fish tailing at the inflation point, just remember you have a longer wheel base and the back is really light compared to the front on the gladiator, so really important to keep a high line and be super smooth with the throttle and steering. @GauravSoni, great to have you along my friend, i think that is the first one since you support one of my 6 new leader drives, always a pleasure to have you in the convoy, thanks for all the tips you gave the guys as we were meandering through the dunes, invaluable lessons form a guru. @Ale Vallecchi Thanks so much for joining, having you at the back made the lead so much easier as i did not have to worry too much what was going on behind me, great advise to the team as we travelled through Nahil and Sweihan. thanks again really appreciated. Hope you get the suspension set up to make the ride feel more secure. Added some pics to the gallery and drive stats below Check out Fb+ 17 mar 24 Nahil on Relive! https://www.relive.cc/view/vKv2nXEep4v Have a great rest of your weekend and see you all again real soon in the sand
