I truly hope everyone learned from this experience and as @Luke K P says it could happen to any of us. great second lead by @Alex M follow my last minute corrections and smoothing the lines out for you all to follow, thanks and appreciated. Our sweep for the day was @Andrew John Melvill who did an amazing job keeping me informed and some excellent rope work during our recovery. thanks Andrew always great to have you in the convoy. And lastly we had our newly promoted Advisor @Luke K P in the Center of the convoy. What can I say, except, brilliant as always mate, you brought a calmness to proceedings as only you can, great patience and knowledge to assist the few refusals we had and fantastic supper and assistance during the last stuck making it an easier task than it could of been receiving the LC.

Dear Desert Wanderers, @Shary, @Myrko, @Yurybel, @JAISROCK, @Zulfikhar Naiyar, @Mei ling, @Frans M and @JC_E, thank you all for being on time this morning and your patience as we waiting for mother nature to do her thing and lift the blanket of fog that cover Qudra desert. Once we finally got going we had a variety of all aspects of desert driving, we had some up and overs, some ridge cross overs and some ridge riding. we were able to do this given the height and composition of the dunes. We also encountered some damp top sand and dry sand underneath, this meant that the top surface was slippery and that once pushed aside we encountered so soft in place and hard in other places sand. this made for tricky conditions but each and every one of you handled this like masters. we had zero stucks and only a handful of refusals, so well done to you all impressive to say the least. a big thank you to the two club members who stepped up today as second lead and sweep, @Frans M and @Zulfikhar Naiyar, you bothed played blinders today making my job so much easier so thank you both very much I hope you all enjoyed the drive as much as I did and that you have a peaceful and relaxing rest of your weekend A short relive video of todays adventures in teh link below and I added the pictures to the gallery. https://www.relive.com/view/v36AV954oGq Thanks and see you all again very soon in the sand
