    :thanks: guys for a very pleasant fewbie drive with a great lead by saj/asharaf ๐Ÿ™‚
    it might have gone at a slow pace at times due to some under-powered vehicles that struggled on a few steep climbs. Never the less, all drivers showed progress and good driving capabilities, particularly Rocklad, aymankhan and h_rladeveze… well done :yesss:

    the sweep went smooth most of the time without any major recoveries or pop-outs and thanks to anastb for his assistance as usual ๐Ÿ™‚

    in general it was a fun time without much hassle.
    looking forward to seeing u all again on the upcoming DO drive…

    cheers ๐Ÿ™‚

    Indeed it was a good drive,
    Though we had to have a slight change in plan..considering the time left for sun down and the distance to cover..
    All drivers did drive well, except few convoy breaks in between..and…I would suggest this has to be take care of and have to be considered bit more seriously..
    All drivers did drive well..may be this route was first time for few..so there were few refusals and detours to be made…

    Great support Joe..
    See you all soon..next time
    In Sha Allah..
    Drive safe..Have fun

    It’s been a pleasure driving with you all. I really appreciated the relaxed atmosphere and the warm welcome.

    I can’t wait for the next trip :drive:

    Yup we had a lot of yesterday.

    Thanks all ๐Ÿ™‚

    The fewbie convoy had a good run starting from Badayer and navigating through the Pyramids and then towards the rear of Iftar Bowl where we synced up with the Intermediate convoy for a little chit-chat. It was around this time that my co-passenger and one of the drivers felt unwell :ymsick: so we decided to head out and call it a day ๐Ÿ™ .

    Thank you Asharaf for taking over the lead and Joe for your support as usual :thanks: .

    It would be nice to hear from the other drivers about their feedback as Asharaf rightly said that it might have been the first time that you were on this route or in the fewbie convoy. Ayman as second lead did a good job :ymapplause: .

    See you guy soon for another day out in the sand.

    :drive: :drive: Many thanks to Saj & Ashraf for an interesting drive. Coming back from hibernation of almost five months, it was a memorable drive. Very happy to see new faces who are driving in tricky situations too good. There was no major hick ups due to moisture in the sand. Once again many thanks for all the team members for wonderful company look forward to many more in the coming weeks. :thanks: :thanks: :drive:
