    What a fantastic morning, just what I needed! Ridge after ridge after ridge all joined together by some sick lines. Was fun to meet up with Fred's newbie convoy, even got to give them a ridge cresting recovery masterclass! Thanks to @_luke_ as lead, @Diego for his kinetic rope and everyone who joined!

    Thanks all for joining today and for being on time. The drive lived up to the reputation of GoTech drives of the past. With many refusals and stucks, all met with teamwork and smiles. Part one was tough with lots of close unstructued dunes and many tight bowls. After around 90 min we stopped for a very necessary break at crescent moon lake. Was good to catch up with everyone and partake of the snack Luke brought along. Part 2 was the highlight for me with clean white sand and once we were through the 1st very tight section it opened up for some lovely ridge runs allowing the drive to flow. At 09h30 we turned towards the track to be treated to a large herd of Oryx, before we headed towards the exit. A special note to @Raptor Runner - Praveen who was on his 1st FB drive, great handling of your truck! The entire convoy drove very well handled the technical terrain very well. Lastly could not have done it without the amazing support from @_luke_, @Vanessa8580, @Looper and @J-P L Till next time

    Good Morning All @_luke_, @Raptor Runner - Praveen, @Khalid Sharaf, @MarkH, @Vanessa8580, @Lukas Wii, @Kirill K, @saumik1989, @Looper, @Hartzel, @khurramm, @Deepak Eswar and @J-P L The tight and twisty dunes are calling! Please check your cars over today before the drive and bring plenty of fluids for yourselves and any passengers. There may be a bit of shoveling so need to stay hydrated. The plan is to hit two different technical dune cordons with a break in the middle at Cresent Moon Lake. The convoy list is as follows: See you all tomorrow for a briefing at 06h30, please ensure that your tires are deflated and flags up before then. We will be using CH 4 on the radios.
