    We had a nice well paced drive this morning with only a couple of second attempts and no recoveries. We started about 5km back from fossil rock at 6am. We made our way to fossil rock enjoying the many side slopes that area has to offer. Near fossil rock Karim had a radiator leak and had to leave us early. From fossil rock we snaked our way to faya dune passing by little fossil rock and camel rock before enjoying the bowls on top of faya dune and exiting down devils plunge. We then crossed the road and had a fast paced drive to 2nd of December street and pink rock. From pink rock we hit all the peaks on the way to big Red where we inflated. Many thanks to dr Knockers who had an easy time sweeping and Neil and Hafid who both had turns at second lead. Hafid – loved the drone pictures. Karim I hope your car makes a speedy recovery so we can enjoy more drives soon.
