Dear desert wanders @Frederic @Abdullah Nasim1 @W a q a r @Rafey Hashmi @Faraz94 @karim hamandi @Mahesh_ @Bhaskar @Damian @Julien Recan @Gagandeep @Haneef Thayyil @Imran Asghar and @Aser the convoy order for tomorrow's adventures will be as below. We will meet at 07:00 deflated and ready to move in Lisalli at the following meeting point https://goo.gl/maps/KGF6L8VwXMza3tJz7 The radio Channel we will be using is Ch4 (446.081) Please ensure that your car is full of fuel, that you are full of enthusiasm with an added touch of desire to learn and most importantly to have fun We are looking forward to welcoming some new members to this drive as well as some that have a few drives under their belt so we are in for an exciting morning. see you all bright eyed and bushy tailed in the morning

@Gagandeep I have a spare compressor that I carry with me so we should be good to get your tires pumped up and I also have spare radios so between my collection and @Frederic's collection of goodies we should be able to sort you out,

Sure thing I will add you @Imteeaz

@Gagandeep as @Frederic says we are all nervous to start off with but do not worry about it you will do fine and you will surely enjoy every minute of the drive. I am sure once you have completed this drive you will get bitten by the off-road bug like we all did . We have plenty of spare radios, but you will need the other gear and a radio for your subsequent drives. Looking forward to meeting you at Lisalli on Saturday morning :):)

However, I would appreciate if your plans have changed and you do not intend to join us, that you please go in and remove your RSVP so that we can work out who will be in which convoy and in which order. I am really looking forward to welcoming you all onto the drive on Sunday morning in the beautiful white sand dunes of Fayah.

@Simon D thank you for the great drive today, we had a little of everything along the way. With some nice long-range dunes to play on a few technical areas and some real bushy areas, but you managed each and every change of terrain with some great lines as we meandered our way out of Lisalli towards the chimney, ending the drive at Marqeq. The convoy of @Maytham Mahroos, @Shiju Raju , @Issam Atra , @frederic demolder , @PETELCZYC PAJERO - luke @Mark B @Tareq Al Turqdid you proud and drove amazingly well with very few refusals and only one stuck that I can remember. well done to you all especially @Maytham Mahroos on your first fewbie drive. We had some excellent support from @Tareq Al Turq in the middle and @Mark Bsweeping the convoy, you guys did an amazing job and made handling the couple of hiccups we had oh so easy well-done and thank you both. Thanks to @PETELCZYC PAJERO - luke for sharing the drive stats above appreciated. Hope everyone enjoyed the drive, and that you all have a great rest of your weekend. see you all in the sand very soon for more adventures

Thank you @Carnity especially @Gaurav @Frederic and @Srikumar and the entire support team of @Cha @Sunil Mathew @DP1011 @Islam Soliman (hope you car is not terminal mate) and @Simon D for all the hard work making this a truly memorable day for all of us. the terrain was the trickiest I have encountered during my short time as a Carnity lead, but boy oh boy was it fun, except one forest that we drove through to get to an easy green (not so easy and was one of the worst patches of bushes I have ever seen in the desert). I learnt so much in this 6hrs and had a fantastic confidence boost along the way as to my leading skills. may entire team of desert flyers @Dodi Syahdar @PETELCZYC PAJERO - luke @Joji vargheseand @Benjamin drove the wheels off their cars and followed me wherever I went. Talk about team work, wow you guys were the best team a lead could wish for, thank you one and all for making my day so memorable and so much fun. looking forward to the next one thank you all for a great weekend 😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀

Dear Desert Wanderers @Emanuel @Rafey Hashmi @Mahesh_ @DanielN @essam ibrahim @Rob S @frederic demolder and @Mike M. as @Rob S has eloquently stated above fantastic mornings drive with even better company. I hope you all had as much fun as I did as we navigated the harder than usual sands of Lisalli. We had some nice free flowing dunes a little taste of some tighter technical dunes and quite a few Camel encounters The weather held up nicely for us as we encountered a few refusals and a couple of stucks. as you found out shoveling the harder wet sand is a tad more challenging, but equally satisfying when we see the heavy piece of metal slither from its tethers and resume its way down the dune. Excellent Second lead as always from @Emanuel until a couple of bolts holding his bash plate on decided to not play nice any longer and disappear into the sand leaving only the front two to hold it on. With the help of the ever-trusty air jack to hold the weight we were able to remove the two remaining securing points and slide the plate out safely and fairly effortlessly. We then had some fun trying to drop the rear seats but got there in the end and managed to tie down the plate in the rear and exit @Emanuel safely. Hope it is a quick and painless repair buddy and look forward to seeing you in my mirrors on the sand very soon. 2nd S/L was equally as good when we promoted @Rafey Hashmi as Emanuel exited. you drove very well my friend and followed my instructions implicitly. Well done and look forward to having you behind me in the very near future. Our Sweep of the day @Mike M. did a fantastic job keeping the back of the convoy in check and keeping me informed every step of the way. great job and thank you. @Rob S what can I say mate, great support in the CF role, you handled all of the issues we had with a calm nature and a professional attitude, could not have asked for better support today, thank you and see you in the sand again on one of my drives very soon. As i said earlier the rest of the convoy drove exceptionally well, thank you and enjoy the rest of your weekend, see you all again very soon
