Dear Desert Wanderers, @frederic demolder, @Zsolt, @Warbs, @Steffi, @Kirill K, @Mark B, @Shary, @Krinesh, @Hashem Rihan, @Gary F, Firstly thank you all for joining todays drive on time, this makes a great start to the drive as it allows us to get away sharp and on time. The Al Farah desert always throws challenges at us no matter what time of year, it is a great learning desert in my opinion as it has some soft powdery sand, some nice ridges (not that we used them for cross overs or ridge riding today, that will come ) but we did practice some up and overs and some sideys, and trust me when I say you all drove amazingly well covering an incredible 37 km's well done to you all. We did manage to meet up with convoy two at the Desert fox rock formation (not actually sure it has a name, but it does now lol. this was great as we were able to meet old and new friends (pics in the gallery). Then we headed off to teh exit at Sweihan where we encountered a couple of last minute stucks but nothing a bit of shovelling did not fix. I hope you all had fun, moreover, had a learning experience, not only for your own abilities, but also what you car is and is not capable of. A big thank you to my second lead @frederic demolder fantastic job following instructions and smoothing my track out, thank you and well done. And a big thank you to my support team @Mark B in CF and @Gary F sweeping us today, I could not have done it with out you guys so a big thank you from me, you guys make my life easy and it is a comfort knowing you are back there keeping everyone safe and sound. great job guys and appreciated.
