We all met at the deflation point within 10 minutes of the scheduled meeting time. Google maps had misled one driver coming from Dubai. I gave the safety briefing, assigned radio frequencies and set convoy order. We lined up and did our radio check and set off to the east of the gatch road.
Started our warmup while keeping a close eye of everyone to see how they was doing. Short break and restressed the importance to not fight gravity or drift. Then we moved to the medium sized dunes side sloping our way east. The afternoon was a perfect way to start the weekend. We had a few second attempts, one stuck and one popout. everyone worked together and had the popout fixed in no time. We all had an enjoyable afternoon ending the trip at the inflation point at 1740.
Thanks everyone for coming out and joining me today. Thanks, Michael, for your valued instruction and guidance to all of us. Thanks, Arthor, for a great 2nd lead. Thanks, Drew, for a great job sweeping and pulling out our only stuck vehicle.
Ed it was nice to drive with you again, good job today. The more you drive the more you understand your vehicles and your capabilities.
Hope to see everyone back in the sand soon.
