Thanks Viking for a great trip, thouroughly enjoyed driving in the sand again, was a little rusty after 3 months of not driving, a good trip to get back in to it, must kick Sean out of the drivers seat more often! Good luck with your travels and hope you come back on holidays for some more time in the sand! Best wishes Jayne

Viking we will be sorry to see such a devoted Marshal leave us.

it was great to meet everone after such a long time, was not sure at the start if the engine on the disco would make it after its recent bit of work but it did and i had a great day out.

hope to see you all in the sand again soon (well after summer :-))

Thank you Eric for this nice trip. It was a perfect day out with so many people and I guess everybody truly enjoyed it. It is sad to see you leaving but on the other side it is great to having met you and been out with you on some trips. Thanks for all the trips and the good advises. I wish you all the best and hope to see you once again whereever, whenever.
Take care.

Eric,
It is curious to imagine you are leaving :( With Stav we do believe that the members of the club are losing an active and good marshal and a nice person as well.
I have just read your report and the memory of your first times… Btw, you are the one who asked me to take the lead of my first full trip and for sure I will never forget this afternoon ;) Drivers do improve by following trips and trips again but they are really better when they get confident. Thank you for your trust.. that helped!
We do not know when we could come back to the sand but if you will come to visit sometimes as well, maybe we will have the chance to meet again, could be nice :D
Wish you all the best!
Carole & JM.

Eric it was a pleasure being with you on this trip. Thank you once more for this and all
your trips in which I could participate. You taught me the first steps in the sand, and
many more thereafter, and you have a great part in me having become addicted to
AD4X4.
Take good care of yourself and of your family, I hope your wishes and hopes come true,
and you will get plenty of making up for the loss of 4X4.
All the best to you !

It was nice to follow your trip yesterday as it has always been during the last few years. AD 4x4 will miss you so much but we hope that you will establish our branch back home and we might one day visit you and have off roading trips in the mountains of Sweden.
Best of luck to you and hope to be always in contact.

Hi Viking,

With all that I've read in this report thread, I reallly missed this big event.

One main reason - quite run out of energy (car's steering problem) upon completion of our morning drive at Area 53 Dubai with Marshal Cherif.

And so, to meet you or to be with your trips to come is just like a dream now for me as you are leaving us. Perhaps one day you will visit us. All the best.... and God Bless your Plan and your family's journey back home.

Cheers, Pepsi
