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.
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.
The best way to describe drive today would be a VIP trip. A small number of vehicles, lots of technical challenges and a lots of time deal with details. But let’s start from the beginning.
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 an enjoyable day it was! Thanks everyone for joining and spending this special day with me 🙂
Instead of the usual style trip, this time we put together a bbq lunch followed by a smooth driving. We met at the meeting spot and after deflation headed to our bbq spot – a beautiful, peaceful location where we settled under the shade of trees. After bqq we enjoyed a wide selection of birthday cakes – thanks again for bringing them along! Very yummy!
Thank you very much for all coming for this drive!
Everyone was in time at the meeting point, we deflated and had short briefing before we touched sand. Everyone in the convoy is driving at Offroader level and we arranged the convoy
