Newbies Follow the Hummer - Saturday Morning Trip Report

Post by -V- »

Follow the Hummer trip ended to be follow my sister's Pajero that I needed to return in one piece.

My Hummer had a small technical issue in my trip with Kevin on Thursday, and I dropped it at the garage. It should be ready tomorrow.

After couple dropouts, we met at the BBQ point at 7:30, deflated, and welcomed Hector to the club. While everyone was still preparing their cars, Marshal Kevin and myself gave Hector the ANIT briefing. Then we gathered for the trip briefing with everyone.

Ali, the only intermediate in the trip, was the second lead, and he nicely changed the track few times when I was surprised with sharp ditches.

We drove around 38 KMs on sand, where I spiced it up a bit here and there. We had few stucks, and the guys practiced recoveries.

Marshal Kevin was overseeing the convey and giving instructions to everyone.

We headed out at 11:15.

I hope you guys enjoyed the trip.

The vibe to the morning drivers are peerless. We had a short convey and each vehicle was distinct. It was exciting to watch them flex uniquely through the same trail.

I got an opportunity to learn from the marshals and other experienced drivers how dangers hid in plain sight at every step of the journey.

Can't wait to do this again. Thank you
