Trip Report for 29 June morning Advance Drive
Trip Leader: Tompa-bjorka
Marshall Supports: Suhaib, EmDoc, Abu Al3Bed
Supports: PearlyGates59, Flaghunter, Khaled (aaqader called in the morning and told he could not make the trip this time)
Advance Drivers: Mira-m, Bee
We met 06:30 AM at the deflation point (Sweihan BBQ point) and after briefing we headed off, with Nagra as the distant goal. Suhaib was the second lead, followed by Mira-m, Flaghunter and Bee. Khaled was sweeper and EmDoc, abual3bed and Pearlgate59 supported from the back. We started out practising side-cresting skills in the lower technical dunes before heading towards the bigger, smoother dunes closer to Nagra. There were a few second tries and stucks (including the lead and sweeper at the same time at the same duneā¦) which was good because it gave opportunity to good photos and practising recoveries. When we reached Nagra, we met with the Intermediate Drive convoy (led by Bisho) and stopped for coffee and chat. After Nagra coffee break we headed back towards the deflation point, which we reached around 10 AM. Thanks for all the support and very well driven by Mira-m and Bee, you rock. See you again soon in the dunes.
