DP1011

Hi All,

Due to recent heavy rain in the UAE and waterlogged conditions the desert terrain is currently tricky with muddy conditions, broken ridges, and hidden pockets, which isn't ideal for a safe adventure.

Hence, I am canceling this weekend's drive, look forward to seeing you all soon on the next one. @Joji varghese @Faraz94 @Shiju Raju

@Marek Last week's drive was an indication You need new bumper😂, This week's was a confirmation?😂

Hope you all had good fun and below amazing stats - We covered just 20kms in 2 hours of moving time - That explains how technical this drive was and done this with No Shovel -No Rope - Is an indication that we can level up the technical challenge in next drive ! 

@Shaun J -  Well done on your first SL position - you did well on all communications and acknowledgements, + slightly adjusting the track where needed upon my instructions ! 

@Prithvi Raj @Rohit Deginal - The Pajero boys ! again, was nice to see how you managed the track, with minimal refusals, and learning the trick of steering and 4L. 

@Rahul6157 Was impressive in how you handled your heavy beast - well done ! I know how not easy it was for you but you made it look smooth all through! 

@Ben Lee @Nizar Shawwa The  SWB Jeep boys , making the most of the technical offerings , quietly and smoothly am sure you guys had good fun at the back ! 

@Sandeep Nayar You were impressive too at the end , dealing with those refusals all by yourself 

and @Faraz94 - Haval power continues to impress - this time in its sweep position ! well done again there ! 

- and as a convoy everyone did impressively well ( which i highlighted at the start of the drive as well)  however I had not expected we would be able to cover this in 2 hours ! am sure you all had fun too learning to strike the right balance of acceleration and steering  !  See you all soon in sand!
