I should confess that the week time while collecting the registrations made me extremely happy that we had that interest from our members to drive and managed to accommodate almost all to the right convoy. The name to the drive was selected intentionally to give chance to all Newbie levels in such an area that also does not allow longer convoys due to the challenges and terrain but also to introduce them how the future looks like.
My Jeep gave me surprise on the way to the meeting point; a pipe was out under my hood, coolant was empty and no water. I don't know why but I was pretty confident that I would be in the drive. I drove blind to the petrol station, no temp guage, dashboard lights are ON..Many thanks to [mention]optimus[/mention] for his help and accompany to the petrol station and meeting point and I gave a gift to him to the meeting point through the off road track :) to warm him up since he also was late to the gathering & briefing because of me. Another thanks to [mention]Agalon[/mention] giving me the right hint on what to do step by step without even seeing what has happened.
Thanks to [mention]alshamsi_m[/mention] and Marshalls taking care of the briefing and convoy split before I reach to the meeting point.
We started with 5- drivers on a safari style with small to higher arches to test the response and see the potentials for future and went back to convoy style, little straight crests and tricky climbs to relax a bit. Communication was good enough and my second lead [mention]Diana[/mention] was following me and my instructions properly. One small note; no shame on second tries and stucks that are always part of the game and learning path.
All drivers did very well and thanks to support team of [mention]optimus[/mention] and [mention]Mahmoodyasin[/mention] as the mid-men, [mention]Loca[/mention] as the end-man, [mention]Issa[/mention] as the side-man and [mention]alshamsi_m[/mention] and [mention]Rashidjass[/mention] being the continuous eyes on our convoy.
Always remember; if you do not improve while you are chging your gear, keep it unchanged is better.
See you on the sand again.
