  1. From the bottom it looked ok @M.Seidam But from the top side front left wheel was quite a ways up in the air. As you have said in previous posts and as we have learnt on our journey with Carnity, always check all angles and all sides of the car before attempting what might look like a straight forward recovery. It may turn out to be anything but straight forward. Always best to be on the safe side of any situation. in this case the anchor did its job, it also acted as a pivot to allow the rear to head towards gravity and a safer angle for the rest of the self recovery. thanks to @Dodi Syahdar for the assistance with this recovery.
  2. @Zulfikhar Naiyar @Julian Patterson @Alphin Aloor @M.Seidam and @Dodi Syahdarthank you all for an amazing 78.6 km drive today, you guys drove amazingly through some tricky terrain and some long range dunes, with very few stucks and refusals.

  6. Dear Desert Adventurers, well we said it would be an adventure and it did not disappoint, we had some tricky technical areas, coupled with vegetation that made the going tougher than I would have like at the start but you all managed it extremely well. the second half of the drive saw us flowing through so longer-range dunes. we had very few refusals and only one stuck where we did have to get the shovels out and a couple of winches and a rope, this was at a tricky angle but you guys were amazing and assisted me to get it resolved quickly and effortlessly so well done and thank you. Fantastic S/L from @Joseph Raju you did everything right hanging back enough to give yourself time to react to my instructions well done. @Sunil Mathew brilliant as always at sweep you did amazingly well keeping the convoy together and me informed. @Pierre de Maigret and @Bjoern you guys as did the other team members drove exceptionally well in as we described above so tricky terrain so well done to you all. @Paolo Pellegrini @Islam Soliman sorry we lost you guys so early, but it was hot hot hot, hope you get on top of you heating issues and we see you in the sand again very soon.
