Awesome Intermediates:
1- Kharadly
2- Afaq_aly
3- Bhav
All met almost on time (6:30 am), weather was super (around 28 degrees) it was a little foggy and breezy.
With a support Dream Team of 6 experienced drivers and 3 intermediates all done 5+ intermediate trips, we decided trip level will be intermediate +
I started with Frankie as my Second Lead, Flaghunter as the Official Sweeper and Khaled looking after the convoy from the sides, a quick warm up then we went to play in a technical area for a while and then headed to the huge dunes to practice high side slopes. We had a brief break (my passenger was feeling a bit of motion sickness, thanks Bee & Mira-M for your help). Then we continued our drive playing on the high dunes on our way to Nughra. At Nughra we had our coffee break where our Support Dream Team had the chance to play on Nughra and gave us a wonderful show.
With all intermediate drivers doing well, I briefed them on Side Cresting Technique and on our way back we tried it out on a couple of very small dunes (non-sharp) giving them the chance to experience how the car weight shifts from on side to the other. We reached AD4X4 BBQ point at 10:30 am, weather was still nice (temperature was only 39 degrees).
All the drives did very good, we had two second tries and one stuck that was recovered safely by Frankie.
Kharadly, Afaq_aly & Bhav, well done guys.
Support Dream Team: Khaled, Flaghunter, Bee, Frankie, Mira-M & DesertDriver thank you guys for supporting the trip.
It was an amazing morning spent with awesome people, I really enjoyed driving with all of you. Hope you all enjoy the trip too.
See you soon on the dunes.

Thank you so much Khaled. It was truly an amazing morning of playing on the dunes and have to say the entire convoy was all doing very well thanks to the great route you chose for us to follow. I had great fun and the best was the spirit of all drivers. See you all on the dunes real soon.
