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.
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.
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.
Today we had lot’s of challenges. From two wheel drive until intro to cresting and switching. I must say we learned a lot and some members will never be the same. We had 2 ladies today and they were shining stars. They showed lot’s of skills and lot’s of improvement. It was quite long and demanding drive today but everyone kept focus till last minute.
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.
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 😀
This trip I would describe like “from hero to zero, than again hero” 🙂
It was meant to be first Najjar_Safari official trip in a new area, until I got selfie from him with engine failure light. He did everything to get his car back, but Nissan says no-no. This is one hour job but we don’t have part. (Shame on you Nissan). I’ve jumped in at last minute.
