Prospect Drive 2 (Ab Initio 6)
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.
After safety briefing convoy was set Andrea 2nd lead, Amhar, Joe, Mahmoud, Lenny, Pradeep, Germain, Feras, Luca and Preggy. with Radio check done we got moving. the drive started with some nice and easy straight cresting and some smooth side sloping. Except for a few second tries everything was smooth. we then moved into a more technical area with small tight dunes were we got to know our vehicles better, with a few second tries and stuck situations we finally got to some bigger dunes which tested our feeling of respecting gravity. 35 Km later we reached the exit point at 9 Am sharp as planned.
Feedback
Andrea
thank you for your support, your new Patrol looked amazing in my rear view mirror. You did a great job just need a bit more vocals with the back on the coms, but your adjustments to my tracks as instructed was spot on.
Ahmar
you really surprised me today, you have a really good feel for your car and saw very little mistakes from you, keep it up!
Joe
same story here, great drive and your following distance was spot on, well done.
Mahmoud
I can tell you and your FJ still need to get to know each other a bit better, nothing serious just needs more time on the sand to get the feel, keep going like that and join our drives as much as possible and in no time you will be cursing

Thank you fellas was a good morning out in the desert with ya.
What an early morning…not really my time to get up, but was spending time with lovely fellas and a fantastic lead Chef Marc! Great to see Preggy around who was wonderful help. Hope to see you all soon!
Thank u Mark for the nice, pleasant & relaxed drive🌞 a good start for me after a short break👍
Nice to meet all new Members to Desert Fellas 🌞
Thank u all desert Fellas for the great drive. Looking forward to next drive with you 😍
A nice and relaxed morning drive with plenty of opportunities to practice straight cresting. Despite the number of challenges, the rope only got used twice. I realized that I can set my watch by Marc’s timing- he said we’ll finish the drive at 9:00am and we finished at 9:00 precisely.
This drive was a great confidence builder for or new members and I’m sure that they’re already looking forward to the next lesson. Thank you all for the pleasant company and I hope to see you soon 😘
Thanks Chef Marc for the nice drive , Andrea for Safety Briefing & Preggy for keeping the convoy in check.
It was a high humidity morning but nevertheless we had a fun time practicing what we heard in theory last week.
The highlight for me were the numerous rock formations which we seen at the interval , astoundingly beautiful.
We concluded the drive right on time before it started to get sweltering.
See u all soon.
