Dear desert wanders, @Frederic118, @nithish468, @Sandeep Nayar and @Gary F, Firstly thanks for all being on time Yesterday allowing us to get away bang on time after the briefing. We had a good mix of Al Fayah Technicals and mid to long range dunes coupled with Daylight, Twilight and Dark to finish out with. You guys all drove amazingly well taking into account that the sand was drying out and starting to turn into powdery patches in places that we have come to expect, embrace and respect in Fayah. So well done to you all for coping with every aspect of the drive. Thanks @Sandeep Nayar for a great S/L you did amazingly well keeping the right amount of distance and reacting to my instructions quickly and accurately. Thanks @Gary F for the usual level of support provided my friend, bringing great knowledge and a sense of calm to the proceedings. thanks and appreciated.

Dear Desert Wanderers @Prithvi Raj, @Jon L, @Martin Schwaiger, @Giacomo, @J-P L, @Zubail, @Gary F, @Rajath Shetty, @Pramod B, @Nicolò, @Adam Black, @Jeevan Koshy and @Hani crest king. Firstly, thank you all for being on time and ready to go yesterday and being attentive during the briefing which we managed to get through in somewhat of a shaded area in Lisalli, however, it was still very hot. We started the drive with the car temp gauge reading a whopping 48 degrees, probably one of the hottest starts to a drive I have seen to be fair. I was expecting a few issues due to the heat, however, we had very few with just a couple of stops for water spraying on radiators and transmission coolers. We started off in more of a scenic drive route but managed to end with a more normalized drive. having only one stuck and a handful of refusals. This was due to the fact that you all drove fantastically throughout he drive. we had less refusals in the latter stages as we got to grips with the tire pressures and your confidence grew, so well done to all. Great S/L by @Prithvi Raj smoothing the lines for the convoy to follow, great job well done. Our sweep @Hani crest king, well what can we say, amazing job my friend, calm and informative as well as knowledgeable, it has been a pleasure to watch you grow, I would say watch this space for a future leader. My C/F for the drive was @Gary F always a comfort to have you in the convoy and you managed the middle with ease and expertise, keeping everyone calm and handling the few refusals we had with expertise and a calming manner with clear and concise instructions, this made a great learning experience for all and was a pleasure to witness. We ended the drive with my first pop out that refused to go over the bead no matter what we tried. and ended up with having to change for the spare, this took a lot longer than we anticipated so thank you all for your patience. Just to finish @Gary F tried to take @Hani crest king's title by a cresting literally 30 meters from the exit track. great self recovery, and just goes to show it can happen to the best of us. Great drive, great team work, great afternoon out, thank you all for making it an enjoyable afternoon, even though it was a oven out there Have a fantastic rest of your weekend
