A very pleasant Friday afternoon with most of us ready for briefing at 16:00. After briefing convoy was set, Andrea 2nd lead, Mick, Rathica, Latif, Andre, Sid, Hamad and Preggy in the back, radio check done we got moving.
It was a surprisingly hot morning with high humidity and a bit of fog which made it a very beautiful sunrise. Everyone came a few minutes early to deflate and briefing started at 6, thank you DF’s for being punctual lets keep this standard.
Great start with everyone arriving at least 15 minutes before schedule! That’s the expected Desert Fellas standard 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
We started in a technical area with lots of sharp crests and ditches, some tight slopes as well. Some second tries, some stucks with self recoveries and only one stuck with record rope later with finally moved to where the fun began. Very long slopes were taken at high speed and all Juniors were able to sharpen their skills.
We lost one rear bumper and our second lead had some issue with her transmission, it got stuck in second gear. The leader took swapped cars with the second lead to drive to the exit point that was reached just by sunset!
Convoy order: Tiago as Trip Leader, Karen as second lead, Mohamed, Della, André and Sid as Sweepper
KAREN: Thanks for another Second Lead. You drove very well today and you communication is getting better and better! Well done!
MOHAMED: Great to see your improvement. Although you lost the rear bumper, you kept pushing your car. I’m really glad you don’t feel sorry for the car anymore. Only thing I would point is to keep the distance from the car in front constant trough out the trip, do not let the convoy stretch! Well done my friend!
DELLA: Great driving today hermano, you showed nice control of the car and nice convoy discipline when cars in front of you did second tries. Same as Mohamed I would point that you must keep the distance from the car in front constant! Bravo!
ANDRÉ: Not much to say, spotless driving today amigo. Keep up the good job!
SID: Thanks for sweeping today Sid, nice driving as well
It was very nice and successful day in the desert. We did Desert Fellas introduction followed by drive in 3 convoys and 3 different levels.
First off all welcome to Desert Fellas new joiners and thanks for attending the trip!
Fantastic morning intro with Ab Initio for our new Fella prospects, after a quick easement of previous experience we invited 3 new Fellas to join our Jr drive.
Sunset Hunters
Everyone arrived on time today!
That’s what I’m talking about Fellas!
Mr. Tariq had his safety equipment checked as complete and received his Desert Fellas flag today, Mabrook Tariq!
Nema Predaje (eng. Never Give Up) was just like the subject says, this morning I’ve experienced that feeling when I realized that my car battery is flat.
Today was a very special day because we proved many things to ourselves. When I think about some of you just a couple of months ago, the improvement is just unbelievable.
Eight of the ten drivers were on time today, for the two late comers we remind you the the time announced for the trip is the time we must start driving, not the the time to arrive at meeting point. Please do not let that happen again!
