Hi Almosters
I heard before for @Solmaz fast driving on road & off road but I understood the fact.
New Marshal in the same area , but totally new track and challenges for all of us.
The trip was leading by marshal @Solmaz & it was fast trip with many side cresting ,switching, high arching and high dunes .
It was one off my amazing trips for 10+ level.
@Solamz was keeping give the advice for everyone to improve our skills.
Thanks a lot for all the advance & intermediate rescue team for their efforts, specially @Mostafa 19 for his amazing photos & cold watermelon.
Thanks also for all my colleagues how has joined to make this beautiful day and left with big smile wishing to meet soon.

Arrived very early after waking up at 3.30 am and first thought it's drive day. No way I was going back to sleep I always get hyped before the drive.

Blessed with a fairly cool start for the time of the year, solmaz set of at a decent pace challenging us with a variety of obstacles made even more difficult by the incredibly soft sand.Found myself sucked into a bowl after aborting, luckily with the gizmos on got myself out without assistance Enjoy the variety of drives we get even in the same area as previous drives with each Marshall having different styles. Solmaz picked some very interesting lines and turned into a really flowing drive with multiple arches back to back at speed.

Few 2nd trys, pop outs and convoy getting lost meant our usual drive break didn't happen and we ended up having iced watermelon while we re inflated. Thanks to moustafa for that 😉 super refreshing.

Fun morning on the sand appreciate Marshall solmaz for arranging and support from our intermediate advanced drivers thumbsup

Hello everyone !

It’s been a while since my last desert drive as I was away for summer, so restarting with the newbie 10+ drive was a perfect warmup for a welcome back !

Run to the hills II, which was taking place in NahĂŻl area, was lead by Solmaz with Hisham as second lead and Mostafa as sweeper.

For the first time, I was part of the support team along with Mostafa, Mpdroid and Osman.
Being on the middle of the convoy, Radio communication was essential to relay messages coming from the back and make sure the convoy reconnected if and when necessary.

The weather conditions were challenging as the sand was softer in some areas which resulted in additional difficulties for everyone, especially for drivers at the back of the convoy who inherited of chewed up tracks

With a total of 2 pop outs and one tyre change (which were good learning experiences) we can affirm that this was, to some extend, a challenging drive! This is also a good reminder that this can happen to anyone so it’s strongly recommended to have a spare tyre which should be functional and ideally identical to the rest of your tyres for optimal use.

It was nice to be back driving in that area and I just wish to encourage my fellow newbies : you got this guys ! đŸ’ȘđŸŒ Whatever car you are driving, no matter how many drives you’ve got on your clock, every drive brings a new skill, whether it is patience or to be more observant, alert with radio communication or any technical skills. So keep calm, put your seat belt on, and enjoy the show ! đŸ€—

On that note, thank you all for this wonderful drive ! It was really nice to see you all, I have been missing your fellowship!
Thank you Solmaz for leading and organizing, @Media team & supporting members who sweated for all these “Tyre rescues”!

See you all very soon on the sand!
Bisous 💋
