Short Notice INT Sweihan West 08.01.20

Abdul Qadir ***** (supporting marshal)

After a briefing to cover the basic plan for the day, we set out to play in the nice dunes of Sweihan West. The track was purposefully made technical and included straight cresting over medium dunes, soft sand terrain and side sloping through some of the more known play areas of Sweihan west.

Given the testing track, we had some second tries and an assisted recovery which was deftly managed.

The area has a lot of bushes and bumps making smooth track selection difficult. After a full morning of fun, we exited at Khazna at around 12 noon.

All drivers did great and showed judgement and adaptability making the outing a lot of fun.

Thanks to Marshal Abdul Qadir for the support through the trip.

Till next time...

This trip was quite a milestone for various reasons.

I was nervous at the beginning since this was my first intermediate drive. Although with time the nervousness turned to excitement. I felt that the track was particularly suited to build my confidence and skill. My passengers were equally thrilled.

I also learned to down shift while climbing and side sloping on this trip.

Since it was my first timw exploring the westerm side of sweihan, I loved every bit of it. We didn’t have to drive long after deflation. On the other hand, to reach Al Khatim at the end it was 13km long drive along the fence. The drive was so smooth that it felt like I was on a endurance racing.

But one question still remains! How do the marshals drive around the dunes effortlessly while I push my vehicle so hard until I drain my energy to cross a dune? Well... time and experience will tell.

Thank you to the Marshals and fellow mates for the fun run.

Yet another milestone too...

I think this was the last trip of New Marshal Ajesh as an Explorer. 😀
