All Lead Xll

Thanks to my great wife who registered me to this trip while I was in the air between Dubai and Jeddah, following tightly my instructions how to do it super fast to win the bloodbath of Intermediate enrollments, I was able to join today.
All Leads is a special drive for intermediates, where they can practice their leading skills and be a marshal of the convoy for a portion of the drive.
@Rashidjass prepared carefully the waypoints and we drew them from a sack together with our sequence number. @Tomvanhouten was "lucky" to get the 1st place. Rashid explained that each of us will lead for 15 minutes, followed by @SINGH as the oversighting marshall and the rest of the convoy, and drive us between the starting and ending coordinates.
The playground was a southern part of Sweihan deserts, with smaller to mid-sized dunes, and a few large ones. Each drive was a bit different, as a result of the function of the current driving area on one side, and the experience and temper of the lead driver on the other one. There was no "over-excitement" that can be a dangerous component of such drives, we had only seasoned drivers and everyone did a great job. @Sorin's track was super flowing, a great flow was achieved by @CARLOSS as well. The most technically challenging track was carved by @David. I was sorry that he couldn't finish his lead due to a temporary car issues, but I would bet it will not take much time and we will have more opportunities to lead his tracks regularly soon ;-)
Many thanks to @Rashidjass for the careful prepration, @SINGH for being the marshall of the drive, @orlantsev, @presa, @Solmaz and @Mahmoodyasin for the support.
