Dxb Intro to Intermediate convoy #1
Posted: Sun Jan 14, 2024 12:48 am
The drivers gathered at the badayer shops at 14:00. After the safety briefing, we started the in the below convoy order:
Engin (Lead)
Andrea (2nd Lead)
Abdul Rahman
Ben
Gopal
Murat
Dharmendra (sweeper)
Shishani (floating support)
We took the first big dune at the entrance for warm up and started moving to the depth of Badayer looking for virgin dunes as much as we could find. On the way we climbed thr big dunes one by one in upper-Newbie pace and speed. We had a couple of stucks resulting in self recovery and few second tries. When we reach the fence at the end of Badayer we took a short break and headed towards the Tree House. Super Bowl was crowded as usual so we avoided that area. We reached Tree House around 16:45 and met with Mustafa’s convoy and enjoyed the fruits and tea served by them. We emerged from Tree House around 17:10 where we had a pop out on Murat’s vehicle at the exit. We ended the drive at the farms around 18:00.
Andrea has demonstrated that he is ready for intermediate. Abdul Rahman is a new member in the club but it is clear that he is not new to the desert driving. Ben and Gopal did well overall in tackling the obstacles. They both did self recoveries with the guidance received from Shishani and Dar when they got stuck. Murat also showed remarkable progress in controlling his SandRunner.
It was nice to see Cheif Kheiwi in his new Taco and Marshal Carlo after a long time. Thanks to Dharmendra for his usual support. Also Shishani for supporting this drive.
I enjoyed this drive and I hope the fellow drivers also enjoyed as much as I did. Looking forward to meet in another drive soon.
