We started our trip around 2:30pm after a short briefing in easterly direction. Then we crossed the gatch road and continued in north easterly direction with an easy drive avoiding high dunes.
On the way we had one pop out, which was a good experience to fix.
We continued our trip avoiding approach tracks for Nagrah dune.
Everyone did really well, so I levelled up the trip and we went back in south west direction, then towards south in a region with less tracks. We had one stuck only and a few second trys.
After sunset we left the dunes,using the gatch road in north direction.
Thanks Tim for your professional support and everybody for your nice company.
Well done everyone, Mabrook! That was almost intermediate level.
I'm proud of you!

Thanks for allowing me to join your trip. It was an enjoyable afternoon. Looking forward to seeing everyone back in the sand soon.

This trip was wonderful. Level of newbies in this trip was well balanced and high and @Smiley was able to increase speed and complexity of our ride to the very cool level. Despite of increased level all drivers were really good. We had only one stuck. Cars smoothly transit from the one dune to another.
When I check our track at home I was impressed by the distance covered in this trip. It was more than 40 kilometres (timing of the trip was usual 3.5h), even with several brakes what we have and the pop-up fix at the beginning of the trip. All my previous newbie trips didn't reach 30km.

I wish to have more trips like this in the future. I hope my upgrade to next level will help me to get this.

Thank you very mush for Anna, Denis and Tim for leading and support. Also thank you all the convoy drivers for amazing level and consistency.

Best regards,
Volodymyr (Valdem) Puiul

Fantastic afternoon spent with a great bunch of very knolwedgeable drivers. Thank you Marshall Smiley for a wonderful and technical drive which was enjoyable throughout. The undulating dunes of Sweihan bring their own magic to such pleasurable moments. The trip wouldn’t be complete without mentioning the ever trusty support crew - thank you Denise and Tim for keeping us on track and keeping us moving. The skills employed by all the drivers was top class and very engaging. I agree with Valdem that the best thing about this drive was that despite stopping for breaks on multiple occasions we still covered quite a long drive throughout. The convoy was always rolling so good job to everyone.
Will definitely look forward to the next drive and thank you once again for making Sunday afternoon so much fun (also big thanks to Smiley and Emilia for the treats )!
