Thank you @Ale Vallecchi, @Vanessa8580 and fellow Prado brother @Rob S for a great first drive back after a summer break, and my first drive in the new Prado! Thank you Ale and @Paolo Pellegrini for the opportunity to do my first recovery (very different to be on the recovering end for once!).
Thank you Ale for pointing out so many interesting things- after the camel herd passed us at the brief, we saw a falcon trainer with his birds, a camel grave yard, and some deer in addition to the pristine sands of the Lisaili/Faqa area.
The lines got a little more difficult to follow as the sun got higher, meaning we didn't have the shadows to guide us on the light sand of this area. This made a tricky balance between keeping close enough to see the line of the car in front and keeping enough space to safely gather momentum at the right time.
Looking forward to it cooling down so we can socialise a little more on breaks. It's great to see you all again!
