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.
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…
Finally, the Bedouin Style weekend – words are powerless to express!!!
It was an awesome, very unique experience provided by our sponsor Dubai Dunes. Thanks again for all the effort and the beautiful setup, very much appreciated!!!
The Bedouin weekend kicked off with a chilling Offroader trip through the wide sand dunes of Al Faqa area.
We started around 2.30pm with exploring the lovely area – with 1 stuck and 1 popout. Fellas, you were doing fantastic job, thanks again!
After nearly 2 hours of driving desertfox took over the lead to bring more action into the ride after a long and realaxed warm-up. Thanks desertfox, awesome job!
Around 5pm, the group was approaching the campsite where they were welcomed with arabic coffee and tea as well as dates and snacks. It was lovely ride and thanks to everyone who joined!
For today’s junior drive we had four cars which gave us a chance to pay more attention to individual drivers. This was good training and preparation of juniors for the next level.
We met at 8:00 as agreed and kick off with driving at 8:15 .
The warming up was very short followed by first challenge, to set the pace to continue with drive.
OK chaps, we did Ab Initio training No. 1 and I would like to say it was more than successful.
We were a small group of happy people. I cannot ask for anything better than that.
We started our talks with coffee at sunrise ,followed by equipment presentation we recommended for desert challenges.
That was a lovely trip with a little convoy – felt like a family excursion. Apologize again for delaying the start for 30 minutes, still we had an enjoyable ride – an quite easy route was chosen as we all wanted to take a breather 🙂 We crested dunes straight, some small slopes and even touched little bit on side cresting. After 45mins of driving we stopped for a 20 mins coffee and tea break to enjoy the peace of the desert. Heading towards the bbq spot, we passed few desert safari convoys and had the chance to practice recovering in tricky spot. Guys, fantastic done, hats off!
What a nice crowd this morning!!!
Meetup was 7:00 and everyone was on time. Respect!!!
A cool morning in the desert, warm coffee, driving with friends… who can ask for better start of the weekend?
We started with the lessons characteristic to “Desert Intro” to familiarize our new members with our activities.
What a day, what a gang!!!
I must say this was one of the most interesting and most positive energy drive til now.
First we were waiting for king of BBQ because his V8 was faster of 4G so GPS was serving outdated details 😀
