Drive Report : Convoy 1: It was a slightly warmer day compared to other weekends in last few months - and by 7.15 we had all 21 members of the convoy, most of them already deflated and ready for briefing. We gathered had a nice short meet and greet chat and some of members expressing how the drive duration influenced their decision of joining their drive. Quickly after a joint briefing, where it was highlighted the drive duration will be aimed to be 2 hours, hence we wont take break unless requested , both convoy's were on the move at 7.38 and the plan was - Either to exit back to entry point or Murquab or Qudra - all leaving to what convoy movements offer. It was a different terrain as @Sunil Mathew highlighted - Thanks to Rain, some tricky ridge formations. We had initial easy warm up movements, with the convoy slowly picking up the pace, and levelling up on the track that was taken and towards the end, handling those ridges and short technical patch just before exit to the track leading all the way upto camel track. @Faraz94 Well done as a Second lead and your show with Haval power ! Overall a great show where we had 2 first time FBs - @Rohit Deginal & @Premjit Vappala - I am sure you had your take aways on those few refusals and am happy with the way you dealt with those with inputs from Support team. Well done. @Andrew John Melvill & @JohanE - Impressive the way you guys were moving all through ! Been first time with you guys as well and great to connect ! Thanks to @Rajiv Sam who was anchoring the convoy in centre, and handling those couple of refusals . With another 30 minutes of drive time on hand, we realised @JERINE_B's Flag was missing and thanks to the guys with camera on video recording, I was informed it was 7 minutes ago the flag was lost , so I and @Rajiv Sam back tracked with rest of convoy on stand-by which was the only break taken. It was successful back track and we quickly got back and convoy was on the move with another attempt of the best ridge that we were offered today. @Mohammad Sayawoush Azad, @Rk ram - I dint hear anything from you and that was deftly a confirmation you were having your share of fun at the back ! Thanks @Sunil Mathew for keeping an eye on the convoy while dealing with those 1-2 refusals at the back ! Please see below the drive stats - which I personally feel is very impressive and we managed to make the most of it, despite having to use Rope 3 times - I Would like to highlight again which I mentioned during one of rope recoveries - Ideally the best way to handle those 3 rope recoveries would have been shovel, It was only in the interest of time, we resorted to Rope. ! Overall a great drive for me, I hope for everyone else too, with our exit at Camel track by 9.35am. See you all again soon in sand ! Drive time : 2 hours , Moving time 1.56 hours - I guess rope recoveries are part of moving time

Where is the Flag hunt party?

Dear Lisaili Sailors ! RAMADAN KAREEM ! Thank you for showing your interest for this special Ramadan series drive - and just to re-iterate - This drive will last long for 2 hours in Desert - Post deflation ! The time starts when the sweep confirms movement of convoy in sand ! As I highlighted- It could be 2 hours of drive or could be a mix of dealing with refusals + drive - In the ratio which we will figure out only by 9.30 on Satday ! Dear Confirmed members - can I please request you to update your RSVP, ONLY IF you have change in plans - so the WL members can have visiblity on their Saturday morning plan. Dear WL members - Please keep an eye on the updates here - hopefully we all get to see each other ! Regards One of the Lisaili lovers !

Congrats @Premjit Vappala ! well done and more to learn in next level

Great insights @Frederic ! Always have been hearing about them but got to know this detailed finally ! In terms of difficulty level - Is it more IM level or super technical with associated risks to do these ? Or super easy and fun !
