Trip Report

2020 Kick Start

A beautiful start to the year with hot air balloons in the air to greet us at the meeting point.

Stretch & Catch

Today we had 57 kilometers of pure challenge for our new Juniors.

It was a beautiful crisp 9c morning on the back side of Al Qudra. Meeting time and all the players were on time for the trip. Everyone was deflated and set to go by 0650, we held the safety meeting, assigned convoy order, then lined up for the radio check.

Fresh Tracker

Very early start as it was still dark while we deflated, everyone on time but before we could start briefing one Fella had coolant issues and had to turn back home to be on the safe side.

Sand Sledge

Very chilly morning, with a late cancellation, joiner and some Fellas taking to long to deflate and get ready. This is not standard and must improve!

Prospect Lesson 2 (AI 9)

Everyone on time to start this beautiful morning!

Keep up like that fellas!

Faster And Dustier

What a great morning!

Everyone on time, deflated, flags up and briefing completed, we started moving 8AM sharp. That’s the spirit Fellas!

Ab Initio 9th generation

Great to see new faces joining the club. Welcome everybody!!!

Breaking in a New Lead

The trip began under the threat for rain. Everyone was on time and ready to go by 2:30 so things were off to a great start. Timing was crucial since we had the potential to finish after dark.
