Great drive organise by Ehab for the Newbie 5- that joined us recently in Nahil with a very good attendance.
Big appreciation to all of the Marshalls that attended to support, Mabubaker, Optimus, Daggerfall, Solmaz and Agalon.
Attendees were divided in 3 groups, I was asked to lead convoy 2 with the assistance of Agalon and Solmaz as well as the fantastic support of Vika, Jamhi and Ahmed (thank you guys, I really appreciate it)
As expected the convoy experienced some difficulties with some of the obstacles (straight crests mainly) but I personally felt a great improvement comparing beginning and end of the drive, better flow, better on the straight crests, better radio communication, ... well done guys!!!!
Please remember:
- after straight crest always straight down, not trying to change direction.
- moving car is always a safe car
- if stuck, don't panic, wait and ask Marshall for support, don't try to rush and make an easy rescue dangerous or worst
- second tries or stucks much much better than flying on a straight crest
And the most important one, keep on driving and have fun, there is no secret to it, the more you drive the better you will get at it.
See you on the sand soon.
