All met at the deflation point on time (except me arrived 10 mins later ) however everyone was already deflated with flags up and ready to go. Detailed briefing was done by me and Francis (and our toy cars ) on how to side crest, what to do and what not to do. Since it was a long convoy for a 101 Advance we decided to split the convoy to give all the drivers better chance to practice a lot of side cresting.
Convoy 1:
PHARAOH (Lead)
Kharadly (2nd Lead)
Dsalas
MJobara
52North (Official Sweeper)
Convoy 2:
Francis (Lead)
Bhav (2nd Lead)
The Baron
Geert
Flaghunter (Official Sweeper)
Francis will be posting his report for convoy2 below.
As for convoy 1, we started smoothly playing on the small dunes near the deflation point for a warm up, then we headed towards bigger dunes side cresting all the dunes (with the dunes direction) on our way to Nugrah. At around 9:15 am we had our coffee break under the beautiful trees behind Nugrah.
On our way back; as everyone was feeling comfortable, we were practicing more technical dunes and side cresting against the dunes, we had couple of second tries & one stuck.
We reached the BBQ point at 11:15 am with total distance covered 44KM, we met convoy 2 at the BBQ where we all inflated our tires together and went back safely with a smile.
Thank you all for joining the trip and hope to see you all soon on another Advance adventure

This drive was absolutely great! I’m very happy to have polished up my yet basic advanced driving skills and appreciate the sweeping as well. I’d look forward to an advance 102
Thanks for the organization and good instructions Khaled and everyone for joining!
