What an amazing drive it was! It was a very easy route and maybe some Fellas were not challenged enough 🙂 – the drive was to enjoy the weather and fantastic landscape! We all had a good time…I enjoy organizing these event trips!
Well, we did it today and it was … great !!!
This trip was a challenge for all those who participated . But let’s start from the beginning.
Today we had lot’s of challenges. From two wheel drive until intro to cresting and switching. I must say we learned a lot and some members will never be the same. We had 2 ladies today and they were shining stars. They showed lot’s of skills and lot’s of improvement. It was quite long and demanding drive today but everyone kept focus till last minute.
I was late this morning about 30 seconds. After I quickly counted the cars I realized we are missing one, so I was not the last. Just when we started to think about the lunch Karimbo arrived, so we started driving towards deflation point. I’m joking of course, Karimbo arrived right after me … Respect to everyone for being on time at the meeting point.
We’ve been here, we’ve been there, we were sloping everywhere…
We had rain, sun and everything in between… Today was a day for sloping. We went trough all techniques of sloping in different combination with lot of repetitions and tryouts. Finally, I saw some members are changing “road driving habits”. But let’s start from the beginning.
The best way to describe drive today would be a VIP trip. A small number of vehicles, lots of technical challenges and a lots of time deal with details. But let’s start from the beginning.
First of all I would like to thank everyone who attended our Ab Initio 2 training. Just to remind, Ab Initio training by Desert Fellas is an opportunity to join our drives either you have previous desert driving experience or not. We had very nice time today and we shared a lot informations between each other, and most important we had a fun.
From today Ab Initio training is officially entry ticket to all of our furtherer members.
Good morning to everyone who just woke up 😀
The weekend officially began at the briefing at 7 AM in Al Faqa. We had the opportunity to see a few new faces and test their driving skills in the desert.
Everyone knows off-roader Mike (RumbleBee), right?
He is always here to help by giving his best to support our drives, lessons, and everything what we are doing here. Recently he has grown a lot as a driver and his support is priceless. Always on time he didn’t mind where and when is the drive. He was always there. Now we feel is time to take him where he belongs, in Desert Fellas – SENIOR level!
Half a day of action and laughter, that would be the best description of the training today. All members had a chance to get stuck with their cars and to be pulled out, or vice versa. What did we actually learned? We learned procedure in case of desert stuck and many details about it. We also learned how to lead recovery procedure…
