Advance Early Birds in Khatim: Friday 19/07/2020

Post by EmDoc »

Lead: Emdoc
Support: Marshals - Thomas & Tony
Able Advance: Asif

3 Marshals and a newly upgraded advance set off for an easy introduction to advance level in the white sands of Khazna. After a good show of confidence and car control by Asif our advance trying out different side-cresting techniques on various sized dunes we we wound our way through the dunes and arrived at the rest trees at the Khazna-Sweihan border. On the way back we decided to step up the training by starting some crest surfing on small and medium dunes when a "minor" issue with Asif's Raptor forced us to perform an unexpected surgical procedure on his vehicle. Thankfully all went well and we managed to arrive back at the inflation point by 10:30 at the end of what was a truly interesting morning.

see all again soon

This was definable an introduction to the advanced level, and a lesson in advanced recovery. Really Michael, Thomas and Tony are life savers. When Tony saw the "minor" issue, his first response was "Does anyone have a saw?" LOL. What happens in the dunes stays in the dunes. Seriously, Michael, Thomas, and Tony are lifesavers! See you all in the sand.

This is one of the trips to remember. You never know what will happen in the desert and can never bring to many tools to be able to cover all those things. But most of the times we manage, so also this time. Was a good trip and well done Asif on the Advance intro drive. See you soon.

This was a very memorable trip for sure. Asia did great and handled his Raptor very well for his first advanced trip. Hahaha yeah the saw was my 1st thought when I saw the issue. Time to invest in one! We all worked very good together to get the issue resolved.
Thank Micheal for this wonderful morning. See you all soon..
