Just another drive was simple, just another drive.
A 10+ drive from Madam to Badayer flyover on a beautiful
morning.
The drive was supposed to be a fast pace drive but as always what is planned it is not what it ends up to be. As we all know this is a very popular area that attracts many clubs so the sand is always chewed up and bumpy.
The convoy faced several delays mostly from second tries and lost track.
Radio communication was satisfactory as well as the level of safety from all drivers.
Couple of observations:
Always stick on the track that the lead car has designed for the convoy. There is a reason that the lead car does not draw bigger and higher arches on the big dunes. We work based on the level of the drive and not on what each driver can do individually.
Deviating from the track you risk the car/is following you. So always stay on the track and do not raise the level.
When stuck on a slope sideways, stop and wait for instructions. Being stuck sideways on a slope is always a tricky situation. The decision of moving forward or reversing can make a difference between continuing the drive or having to have your car pulled out from the desert. At this level you will need gaudiness and assistance to make the correct decision until you reach a higher level that it will be a second nature to you of which way is the safe gateway.
Reversing down from a steep failed climb is another skill that you will need to master in this early stage of off-roading.
Once you fail to complete the climb you will need to SLOWLY reverse pointing the back of your car towards the direction that gravity pulls your car and not fighting the gravitational forces exerted on your car. SLOW and study with no rash to turn mid of the dune is the key. Take your time and complete the descent safely.
Closing my report I would like to thank @baris which as always was there to assist every single rescue along with the supporting team.
A big thank you to all the drivers of the convoy that did their best to cope with the challenges of the drive. @ivantorrellas as a second lead did a good job keeping the convoy safe and @Mohanad as a swiper ensured that no one was left behind. Finally or advance drivers @Issa and @haider alnuaimi which were floating completed their task of rescuing and keeping the convoy safe with success
Until next time drive all safe and looking forward to see you all soon
