Morning routine:

Have a coffee
Recover a vehicle
Recover another vehicle
Help fix a pop out
Go home
Shortest trip report in the club ever
@Booy was leading our convoy with myself @Johanna in the convoy & @Abu Odai floating. I placed myself behind 2 Pajero's & a Land Cruiser, yes my thoughts exactly, but hey it was called morning routine
.
We headed into the desert & it was not long before we had the first recovery...@Johanna sorted that out for us & we were on our way again. Not long the cruiser had a little judgement error & ended up in a very soft patch. The viking rope came & not long we were on our way again. The area started getting a bit more technical & the cars in front of me did the stop start routine, @Booy told everybody to keep distance & things started going better. While crossing a dune I saw @Abu Odai "parked" on a dune, not long I heard him calling @Johanna for some help...she replied "You need my help", she sounded very surprised.
We kept going till a pop out stopped the convoy in its tracks, while heading back I saw a Jeep that started loosing some body parts, I took out my size 8 spanner (left foot) & removed the body part. We made quick work of the pop out & was back on the road again.
While crossing a dune the Cruiser did not have enough momentum & got crested, viking rope cam out & soon we were going again.
Overall it was a relaxed drive from my side, but I believe for the new drivers they learned a few lessons, keeping distance, momentum & using the radio.
Thank you @Booy for the drive, @Johanna & @Abu Odai for helping with the rescues.
Till we meet in the sand again, stay safe.
