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.
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!
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.
I was late this morning about 30 seconds. After I quickly counted the cars I realized we are missing one, so I was not the last. Just when we started to think about the lunch Karimbo arrived, so we started driving towards deflation point. I’m joking of course, Karimbo arrived right after me … Respect to everyone for being on time at the meeting point.
We’ve been here, we’ve been there, we were sloping everywhere…
We had rain, sun and everything in between… Today was a day for sloping. We went trough all techniques of sloping in different combination with lot of repetitions and tryouts. Finally, I saw some members are changing “road driving habits”. But let’s start from the beginning.
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.
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.
OK Chaps, we had lot’s of fun today. Thank you for that!
Everything started in the morning when one of the guys had a stuck on deflation point and his wife had to get him out ( :evil smiley: ). Apart from that we didn’t have serious troubles (kidding – love you guys).
We started a little bit late, because ….. ccc… longer coffee break. As this was learning trip we were talking about previous lesson and answering on sarahbnz questions :). Right after that we had some theory about Approach for cresting and descending, followed by safety briefing.
We started moving towards first challenge at 8AM.
