				Bu Salem, of course I know Almost 4x4. But let me say there is sometimes an inconsistency in the way trips are set up. If Advance/Intermediates can join newbie trip for example as rescuer, there is not always a limit put to the I/A drivers. 
Bad luck indeed. Seems like I will have to make alternative plans to get my desert thrill this weekend :blank:

				Hi OffroadRon
We have two types of drives by Marshals
Scheduled : a drive has been a proved by the Marshals' meeting. 
Chartered : a drive has been a proved by more than one marshal but still serves the club's master plan
To have a rescue convoy for training is part of the scheduled program not in chartered that is why there is no I/A convoy.  In other words,  the organizer doesn’t want a big convoy. 
Regards

				Thanks Bu Salem. 
In that case, I am happy to have "donated" my seat to another newbie  :Psmiley:

				Great to see a trip posted on Saturday as busy the next two Fridays. Not so great seeing it so late (two days without internet!) Am pretty sure it will be a tough morning trying to keep pace with that little Suzuki as I saw it in action two weeks ago and it can change direction like a gazelle! A busy weekend ahead as I count at least 3 events. Great job again by the marshals and organisers. You all certainly aim to please everyone. Well done.

It's a driver, leading, who is changing his mind and the car is just listening to the commands. Such a quick change is necessary to avoid ditch or another obstacle or to prepare funny situation for other cars behind in the sense - "Let's see who will make it !" :secret laugh:

				Disappointed as I am unable to play Saturday due work! Have removed name from wait list. Maybe for the best due two reasons. 1: Had I been available and not made the cut I would have been even more disappointed and 2: As Caprihorse stated, a few drivers may end up in a "funny situation" trying to keep pace with that Japanese Gazelle so maybe I am saving that awkward "stuck" for another day!
For those lucky enough to be part of the chase, have fun. Sounds like a really enjoyable Saturday morning. Already looking forward to the trip reports!
