Trip Report - ANIT/Newbie PM Drive 31/8

Post by Francis »

Trip Lead - Francis-F150

Support: Adiga, Khaiwi, Karam, Bulldozer, Pharaoh, K-alhosani, Tariq905, Bhav

We met at deflation point and after ANIT briefing from Adiga, then I gave a general briefing, we started off about 3:30 from Al Saad. After driving about 4KM on the gatch track and crossing the villages we entered the dunes and zigzagging our way towards Old Lady dunes. Bulldozer met us in between during our break time. As sunset was fast approaching, we had to drop the plan for Nagra and we headed towards the nearest exit reaching the gatch road at 6:55pm while giving the ANIT's and Newbies a small taste of night driving :lol: I don't want to elaborate about the trip as we want to hear from our great drivers.

Thank you all for joining us in this trip and we would love to hear from our drivers and their experience.

Great thanks for the support team and marshals for helping throughout the trip.

Until next time :D :ad4x4: :ad4x4: :ad4x4:

Great trip - good pace, varied driving and most of all good fun. Tried a few new techniques as well, most noticeable a bit of unexpected night driving. Thanks for leading Francis and to the support team for keeping us save and sound.

Thanks Francis for organizing this magnificent trip, I really enjoyed your track.

This was a really fun trip with all the new faces with big smiles and meeting all the old friends :ad4x4:
A lot of positive vibes were cruising the dunes ;)

See you all soon on the dunes....

Thank you Francis for the trip,, As Adiga allowed me to drive,, I enjoyed specifically the zigzag track.

From the back of the convoy, well done all!

Thank you Francis for cutting this very smooth track among the dunes. You managed to wake up the classic off-road driving legends who dotted the convoy from every direction. All drivers, including myself, should be proud to receive such huge amount of support and learning on this trip.

Really nice route in one new area for me.

Francis led the trip in such a way that it was dark before we noticed it! Time flew!! :lol:

ANITs performed amazingly, even though Francis spiced the route up a little bit with some straight climbs ;)

Support was spectacular, we were delighted with a great amount of off-road experience and teaching skills. We couldn't have wished for more!!

Hope to see you all soon!
