Trip Report

Shibu’s Trail – report

Our meeting today was at the Badayer shops area. We reached there on time only to find the area congested with other fellow off-roaders. There were at least 40-50 other cars lined up to start their drives.
After we managed to locate each other, we deflated in no time, had a quick briefing and hit the sand right away. Today’s trip really had it all, from cresting n side cresting to sloping and switching, to speeding and also going through a fairly technical area. It was really full of excitement.
Our first destination was the Iftar Bowl. There along with a big number of other off-roaders, we had a chance to play each on his own for a while. It was awesome to drive up n down this enormous dune. Then we moved on to reach the Super Bowl, where it was so crowded that we just decided to move on. Today we did not encounter any stucks there were a few second and third tries every once in a while, but everybody managed to finish this trail without any need for recovery. Well done everyone!!
After about 53 kms of intense desert driving, we came out at the same spot we had gone in some three hours earlier.

Bumps and Humps Drive – report

We started the morning a bit late because of a few late arrivals (pls. let’s all try to be always on time this is what makes us different and shows our mutual respect) with a short briefing about the details of the trip.

Ab Initio 4 – Report

Today we had our 4th generation Ab Initio trip. The attendance as usual was a nice mix between new faces, who join us for the first time, and old members who are here for support. We started fairly on time with the typical Ab Initio lecture by Marco. The talk took us through the important information that the new comers have to be aware of to become part of our group.

Practice Makes Perfect

We started the morning with a short direct briefing and nice positive vibes.
Nice convoy with good order and communication, we experienced a few cresting and side cresting, we had the opportunity to practice in a small bold with self recovery and to brief about the proper technique.

Taste of Sweihan

Started the morning a bit behind schedule because of late arrival but kicked off the day in a positive note, congratulating to members Amir and Saboor who have full safety equipment checked with Desert Fella’s flags and stickers.

Easy Sand Drifters

After Heavy rain and morning coffee we started exactly where we ended last time on our first Ab Initio Junior drive.

We learned some new techniques and we shared several tips and tricks followed by 2 hours drive.

Saturday Morning Surprise

With Suhaib as our leader today think we were all surprised by our by how capable our cars really are!

Advanced Juniors

Today we “worked a lot”!!!

It was nice and fun! Most important was positive energy and safety as imperative. Today were working on “Cresting, Switching and Side Sloping”, which we are considering as advanced junior or beginner offroader level.

We were working on techniques in low speed to gain confidence, better feeling and control over car. All fellas did a good job and we closed this lesson with several repetitions.

Ab Initio 3rd Generation

It was a real pleasure to see new faces on our Ab Initio 3 and also to see our members in supporting roles. This all concept is very young but serious as you had chance to witness.

Operation Sunshine

We left the rainy clouds behind us and managed to caught the morning sunshine. So, “Operation Sunshine” succeeded!!!

“Sunshine Operation” drive was in junior level with occasional offroader level bites. After first switch to the offroader level we got our first stuck that took us some time, but we had the opportunity to refresh our knowledge from recovery training.
