Intermediate Adventures in Bu Tais: 1/2/2019
Posted: Sat Feb 02, 2019 10:01 am
What started as a foggy morning cleared to become a marvellous day of desert driving. After meeting at the deflation point the briefing was held by congratulating Kamran for his upgrade to intermediate level and setting the convoy order, with Charlie (cabf) as second lead followed by Kamran, Sunil(snware) and Ryan (ronnybravo85) with Husam (bahar) as sweeper.
We slowly set off towards our entry point and as the fog lifted we entered the glorious dunes of Bu Tais. As the drivers warmed up and confidence grew we picked up the pace to flow around and over bowls, ascending and descending the dune faces, only stopping for breaks and to practice some larger side slopes.
Everyone drove very well with only a few stucks and second tries that as usual showed effort and allowed learning. Safety was demonstrated throughout with sensible driving and good judgement calls by all. Very well done to Kamran on his first intermediate drive, keep it up. Ryan, you showed good and growing control of your vehicle, Sunil, well done. Your new tyres made a big difference. A a big thanks to Charlie for a good communicative second lead and Husam for being a solid sweep aiding the flow of the convoy.
A fine morning with great people.
Looking forward to seeing all again soon.
Please add any comment you may have and thanks for the photos sent so far.
I'll post some later. If you have any more to add please do.
