Dear desert wanderers @Frans M @Emanuel @frederic demolder @Issam Atra @Pacific @essam ibrahim @Mahmoud Taha @Mark B @george charbel @Xavi Moyano @JohanE @Gary F @Dan S @Rafey Hashmi @Imteeaz @Imran Asghar @Varun Mehndiratta @ @DP1011 I hope you all had as much fun as we did during todays drive. Convoy two started of with a quick order stuck that took us a minute or two to sort out, but after that it was plain sailing to the meeting point of the rock formation that houses the desert foxes. We did manage to see one although it was unfortunately deceased. The timing could not have been much better with both convoys arriving form either direction at the same time. It was a great gathering with some lovely weather and fantastic picture opportunities (see the gallery). Convoy two then headed for Sweihan whilst convoy 1 headed back to the start point. (Deepak I will leave you to post the comparison of the two tracks side by side if you wish). Convoy two had a really nice flow to it until we had a couple of late stucks and one minor electrical issue, where we decided to not risk it any further and exit earlier than planned. Fantastic S/L by @Emmanuel staying just far enough back to react to my shouts of don't follow and of course please go a couple of cars to the left or right. Well done my friend excellent job. We had fantastic support from @Mark B in the middle keeping me informed of what was going on and assisting with the couple of issues we had. thanks and look forward to the next drive with you. @Imteeaz swept the convoy and was front and center guiding the team members that had a couple of refusals and stucks in the tricky soft sand, thank you my friend always a comfort to have you in support. @Issam Atra @george charbel @Xavi Moyano @Gary F @Rafey Hashmi you guys drove the wheels off your cars and made for a faster pace than usual for a Fewbie but man was it fun. Thank you and apologies to Rafey for jinxing what was a near perfect drive right up till a couple of dunes from the end, but it was the softest tug the Rubicon has ever had to give :):):). @george charbel hope your electrical issues is not too bad and you get it checked over and find the niggle before it gets worse. Hope you all have a great rest of your weekend and look forward to seeing you all again soon in the sand. Convoy 2 stats

Dear desert wanderers @Frederic @Abdullah Nasim1 @W a q a r @Rafey Hashmi @Faraz94 @karim hamandi @Mahesh_ @Bhaskar @Julien Recan @Gagandeep @Haneef Thayyil @Imran Asghar and @Aser Thank you all for sharing in my inaugural newbie drive, it was a pleasure to lead you all through the beautiful sand of Lisalli. Great driving by one and all, great camaraderie, and we were treated to a rather large Camel caravan as it passed in front of us. Each and every one of you drove sensationally well making our jobs so much easier, we had a couple of refusals but no real stucks that I can remember. we did encounter a couple of pop outs, and strangely enough both at the same time, who would have thought. A special shout out to @Abdullah Nasim1 and @Gagandeep on your absolute newbie drive. I really do hope you gained some confidence from this drive and that we did not scare you too much, moreover, we really do hope to see you again in the sand very soon. A big thank you to our sweep @W a q a r you did an amazing job my friend keeping me well informed every step of the way, so thanks it was a comforting knowing you were back there keeping the tail end of the convoy safe. A big thank you to our center forward @Imran Asghar, you did an amazing job as always, your calm demeaner and professionalism as you swoop into action is second to none. Loved the electric jack and glad you got to play with your new toy not once but twice And last but not least a huge thankyou to @Frederic for being my second lead. Always a pleasure to have you sign off on my milestones, as it all started with the first one of a master class way back in 2021 when I first met you. It has been a journey my friend and a very pleasant one learning my craft from your good self and all the other Marshals and support team members @Carnity thank you one and all. I hope each and everyone of you have a fantastic rest of your weekend and that we get to see you al again very soon out in the sand pits of the UAE
