Report:Introduction to Abu Tais - AM 1/06/18

Post by EmDoc »

Excellent morning out in splendid 'Bu Tais.

We all met on time and set off to the deflation point which was determined by the first stuck we encountered :D Then with convoy order set we started the intermediate introduction to the area.

What a great day practising skills on the high, wide and occasional technical dunes while enjoying the beautiful scenery of the desert.

By the time we reached the inflation point at 11am all the intermediate adventurers had grown in confidence and had honed their skills.
Thanks to all intermediate drivers for making the day fun and friendly, you all did very well in what can be a demanding area. Thanks to Jules for a solid second lead, Mira for her good communication as sweeper and for efficiently "unsticking" our few stucks of the drive. Huge thanks to Explorer Matt and Marshal Lee for watching us all and tirelessly assisting when advise and instruction was needed.

Great day, please post any pictures you may wish to share and see all again soon.

Michael

Thank you Marshal Michael for arranging this amazing trip in this very beautiful and unique desert.

Thanks to Marcus for unsticking me and declaring the deflation point … :lol:. The drive was undoubtedly challenging, but thoroughly enjoyable; with lots of learnings to take away and practice.

The support team was incredibly good too.
