The journey is just beginning for you all and it is a wonderful journey full of learnings, not just learning your car, but learning new skills, honing your driving style to combat the most difficult of terrains, learning how to self recover with confidence and also learning, a few tips and tricks from a mechanical standpoint as we often have to much in to fix an issue here. As you saw yesterday with the double pop out we suffered at the end of the drive. The rest of the convoy drove just as well making it a pleasure being out in the sand with you guys. Great second lead from @Ishak, appreciate your patients as we dealt with the couple of refusals and stucks we had. My two Center forwards were amazing as always thanks a lot @Mark B and @Emanuel for your continued support and effort during the drive to get the stucks and refusals sorted quickly and professionally. Lastly but certainly not least our sweep @Imran Asghar great to have you in the convoy as always mate, I do enjoy the banter on the radio and great job sweeping and assisting the guys at the back, amazing job mate thanks again. For those that want to relive the experience here is a short video of our trip. https://www.relive.cc/invite?u=5my7j2p5ep55y6&s=activity Have a great rest of your weekend and hope to see you all in the sand again very soon
