We all met at BBQ Point Sweihan at 06:30 am (total 4 cars).

I was the lead,
MiraM (passenger tompa-bjorka,Thomas) & 52North as second leads & sweeps, switching positions from time to time, or during second tries.
Emdoc(Michael) watching the convoy from around and the rear and guiding as needed.

After everyone had deflated their tyres to their preferred pressures, we did the briefing, concentrating, explaining the safe way to side crest and what type of variations exist in side cresting.

Right at the beginning the members were allowed to practice multiple times a track line made by the lead until they became comfortable with the particular tracks.

The jouney heading was towards Naqra practicing side cresting along the way with breaks in between.

We had a longer break near Naqra (three trees).

On the way back we had a stuck on a side crest top (me), thanks Mira for the recovery, later had another stuck on a straight crest (who ? who else? me) thanks Julien for the recovery.

Other straight crest stucks, recovered.

Heading towards the finish we took it easy, as the temperature was getting higher and to also allow a more relaxed drive near the end.

We had a few second tries during the trip, finished by 10:45 near pilon lines along the asphalt and reinflated under the bridge in the shadow.

Everyone did very very well indeed, and hope the practice was good.

Hope you all enjoyed it, I shall see you all after my vacation (after 16th July).

Add your comments as you see appropriate.

Thank you very much Testinwork for the excellent program of today and allowing us multiple tries. Thanks also for your demonstrations and EmDoc for your patience and support! I really enjoyed it and have elevated my skills with a new subject for further practicing. Thank you also to Mira for the recovery of my car.

I’ve added some pictures of the first recovery demonstration by Testinwork (the pictures show in reverse order)

Have a good holiday and will see you when you get back.

Thanks all for a very pleasant morning out. Great introduction and track Hrant, that allowed a sound understanding and practice of side-cresting. Well done to Mira and Jules for your safety first approach to acquiring the new skill, it was good to see the competence with which you crested steadily increasing throughout the morning.

See all again soon.

Michael

Ps, nice photos of the demonstration Jules
