Since many members joined the trip, we divided the convoy into 3 groups and I had the Advance+ convoy.
Ahmed -Lead
Waleed -2nd lead
Rick
Abu Ali
Sohaib
Hadi - Sweep
I was lucky and honored to have the mentioned gentlemen in my convoy as they posses the best skills for advance.
So briefing was short since the temp was 48degree and we started playing around the big dunes of gate 12. Obviously engines started to heat up quickly with the first few minutes so we had many cool down breaks and we kept increasing and decreasing the tempo of the trip.
Except climbing Mohamed Ali Dune, we didn't climb any big dunes so we don't stress our engines under this heat. We kept playing on top of the medium dunes with shaving the crests and doing multiple switches.
I wished the weather was cooler as I had a extremely talented and strong drivers. There was good chemistry between the convoy. Throughout the trip, I didn't hear the word 2nd try
but Hadi had to have his last stuck before leaving and Abu Ali handled it properly. We kept switching and switching from dune to dune non stop and shortly before ending the trip I had my stuck and Waleed recovered me then we joined with the other convoys by 7pm. Thank you gents for the great drive as I really enjoyed the afternoon despite the extreme hot weather.Dear Hadi,
Words cannot express how unhappy I am by you leaving as your place is irreplaceable but life has it's plans and I wish you nothing but the best for you in your future and your journey. May this step brings you success in your career and hope all your dreams come true.
Its n honor and pleasure knowing you and I'm glad we drove together many times. Take care and see you soon.
Ahmed.
