Thank you  @Maytham Mahroos, @Shiju Raju , @Issam Atra ,  @frederic demolder , @PETELCZYC PAJERO - luke @Mark B @Tareq Al Turq for being part of the drive and being excellent drivers , you managed all sort of terrain ,pace, and challenges that you have been put through. 💪

I tried to expose the convoy to all kind of terrain and drives techniques from flat straight terrain, technical terrain, crisscrossing , ridge ridding and side slopping  which will give you more confidence going up the off-roading levels. 

My initial plan was to exit at solar park but at 10:00 AM , after we have done a some sidies and some exhausting  long range dunes ridge riding. I decided to exit at Marqab.

Thanks @Mark B for making sure the convoy way safe at the back and @Tareq Al Turq for helping us with the shoveling and helping the guys with the refusals. 

Special thank to @Davie Chase for watching my back and making this drive possible  

i was not able to click any pictures during this drive but if you did kindly post them in the drive gallery 📸

Looking forward to see you on the next drive.

Dears,

Convoy 2 Drive Report :

Dear Desert Warriors ,

@Faraz94 @Arravind @Stan @Ishak @Deepak Eswar @Frans M @george charbel @Emanuel

this is the only word i could describe the way you have driven today. we have not only achieved our Goal of 52 KM but also exceeded to reach 69 KM 💪 .

We started slowly driving through some easy flat tracks until we have warmed up to start afterwards practicing the ridge riding , criss crossing , then after seeing how well you are doing ,i decided to take you through a patch of technical terrain before we moved to a faster pace and higher dunes to enjoy the long range ridge riding  .

eventually to finish up we have played a little bit at the end doing some side slopping .

you guys, could take what ever challenges i put you through.... Simply  you were unstoppable!!!

Special thanks to @Varun Mehndiratta for looking over my shoulder and @george charbel for making sure no one is left behind.

Finally i would love to Congratulate @DP1011 for his 1st lead drive 🎉 and for inviting me to lead the 2nd convoy  Well Done buddy 

below you could find drive statistics and information  

Thanks everyone who joined the drive yesterday, it really made me happy to see everyone full of energy and desire to learn and explore.

The drive was a mix between long flat drives , some crisscrossing ,  ridge ridding and of course side sloping.

We had also to go through some technical and bushy areas from time to time. But you all did great. 

Thank @Looper and @Anish S for all your help and support you have provided me . And ofcourse  @Joseph Raju for taking care of the stucks and the refusals 

Looking forward to see you all again soon,
