Short Notice Intermediate Drive 30th Nov 2012 - Report
One of the best days in the desert, the rain, the cool climate and excellent group of people had made a perfect Friday.
We met up in Al Khatim petrol station and after a quick chat with the morning advance group and then headed to the deflation point on a nearest catch road. Some of us liked the catch road so much that we decided to park in the middle
After a briefing in the rain in the desert, we set out to sweihan with grizzly 2nd lead and MLC sweeping at the back with his MOI.
was interesting drive with the sand not behaving its usual self, but all the group got used to it, and driving at a slightly higher pressure to avoid Pop out...but we had two GRAND ones at the end, and fixed in record time like F1 pit stops, awesome (ill make a time lapse video of it).
Everyone did great and in the end drove more confidently than when they started.
Grizzly, thanks hani for the great second lead, i really appreciated it when you got my signal of guiding everyone to a safe spot whilst i observed.
Ihab, youve come a long way!
desert_storm, congrats on the new tyres, you were exceptional today, keep it up!
bhero_desert, glad to see youve learnt to control your speed.
desert_dawg, franki and its pilot did awesome and didnt skip a beat
Abdelkader, loved the skid plate, hope your passenger recovers soon, but you did really well and good call to take him out
Hamour, loved the way you controlled the LC
fastrow, nice seeing you, do keep in mind what we talked about for all drives, you improved greatly in the whole trip.
abu_naif, lovely to see your family thoroughly enjoying the desert! you were a valuable member in the group today.
MLC, per usual great support through-out the trip! hope your other half enjoyed too and you made it to DXB in time.

a very nice afternoon indeed. the weather and the company were awesome, as was the sand ! caked on top and powder underneath!
we enjoyed ourselves thoroughly and had a great time. had to leave early (before the pop-outs) as i had to get to dubai for a goose dinner!
and THAT is another story for another time.... lol

Great trip, great weather, great track and great company. I must have done more side crests in this one trip than in all other trips combined! The beautiful weather was a perfect backdrop to the trip. A different experience. Had a great time. Thanks Waqar for the side-cresting tips. Will certainly add it to my knowledge base
