Everyone arrived almost on time (06h30) despite some technical problems discovered at the last moment. My mechanical problems on Friday did not allow me to do my first lead but Zac graciously accepted me as co-driver. In the end Zac and Ossama shared the lead supported by Marshal Michael.
Our group consisted of:
First lead Zac**** and sweeper for the return,
Second Leader Shajumon***
Florian***
Nick***
Sweeper Ossama**** and leader for the return
And support by Marshal Michael*****
Zac took the first lead, it was a very technical start before joining bigger dunes and having fun driving on the ridges and moving from one side to the other of the dunes. Nick, Florian and Shajumon did very well and safely. Ossama took the lead of the return and also found very nice ridges and very technical parts. No technical incidents during this trip apart from a few second try.
The temperature was not too high until 09:00.
Thank you to all the participants for their kindness and it was a pleasure to see you while waiting to do my first lead as soon as I get my jeep back.
thank you Michael for your wise advice.
See you soon
John

Thank you John for arranging an amazing trip. We could enjoy two different leads by Zak and Osama under the guidance of our maestro Michael. The track was more challenging and all did well without any stuck. Really appreciate the participation of John. Thank you man for your positive attitude. Thank you Nick and Florian for being part of this trip. Really enjoyed and gained good practice on a challenging track. See you all soon.

Was a big pleasure to have you as passenger JB, really enjoyed your company and thank you for graciously allowing me to part lead. Everyone did really well I was surprised we didn't any stuck as it was a reall technical area. I hope you and Michael get your cars fixed easily.
All the best.
Zak

Thanks Jean for arranging the drive, it's always good to have different lead styles during the trip. A great day out.
@Zak, Clouds and silver Linings. It seems my thermostat was faulty and needs replacement, but it gave me the chance to annoy and steal a drive with Osama
