Intermediates in Khazna: 15/1/21

Post by EmDoc »

Lead: Emdoc
Great Intermediates:Artur, Florian, Kannan, Kiran, Syed

After deflation, a briefing was held and congratulations given to the new intermediates, Kannan, Kiran and Syed for their upgrade to the fun level and after setting convoy order with Artur as second lead and Florian as sweeper we set off to enjoy the white sands of Khazna. Warming up slowly to introduce new skills and manoeuvres to we slowly built on growing confidence and picked up the pace. After a short break to discuss progress we continued to increase the pace and technical nature of the drive by introducing long and high descents and increasing angles of side slopes.

With one popout, a minor technical issue, a number of stucks, plenty of second/third/fourth tries :D , and a break for very tasty tea and snacks (thank you Mrs Florian and Kannan) we completed our round trip to the inflation point shortly before 6pm.

All drove well, wisely not fighting gravity, turning down as necessary and learning to understand the nature of their vehicles. Thanks to Artur for his second lead and Florian for tirelessly recovering the stucks.

Please feel free to comment and post any photos of the trip.

see all again soon.

Yet another exciting trip.

This drive gave me an insight into a new style of driving and better understanding of my vehicle. All thanks to Marshal Micheal who suggested to me to manually control the gear shifts in 4H to avoid overheating issues that I faced in the past.

It was really kind of Mrs Florian to offer us the cinnamon ginger tea. Loved it.

Thank you everyone. Pleasure ride indeed!
