Report: Find Your Way.. 30/11/2012

Post by desert_hawk »

Met at the deflation point, with some delays due to the slippery roads, made an exception this time ;)

Once we were all ready, the plan was set to give equal time slots to everyone to lead due to the limited time of the trip, they will be responsible to manage the time, distance covered, level, etc.

I guess everyone found himself with a different fun, and the whole trip with its challenges was a good training for an orange future ;)

Some leaders chose short but challenging track, some chose long and fast one, and I enjoyed all of it.

There were few stucks here and there, the winch came handy in few of them ;) , the drivers were given the freedom to change the track slightly to suit their cars and everyone used it wisely.

By sequence of leading
-V-, very nice and challenging track, good skills, remember to keep an eye on your convoy and suit your track for everyone.
Scotchyl, I like your self control, elegant driving, but you need to forget about your clutch and enjoy driving more, at the end, it's not your car ;P
Grizzly, nice choice of play area, good track, more to come I'm sure.
Abu Ghazi, sorry the time was not enough to unleash the beast inside you, I enjoyed it at the back, you drive the pathy like a small car, try to avoid tricky spots to save time.
Ihab, nice stretch of track we covered in a fast pace, fine tuning for some skills and better knowledge of the car capabilities is all what you need, elegant driving as always.
Wolle, good self control and knowledge of capabilities, more fine tuning of some skills, but good base to start with.

Communication and convoy management were improved gradually during the trip, you ALL did great, I loved every part of the trip and managed to lead the last 10 min, I wanted that so much.

Hopefully we will do it soon with longer duration.

Scotchyl Sr. and Abu Faisal, nice meeting you, hope you enjoyed it.

Till next time, take care and drive safe.

Hey Mo & all the rest of the gang,
What a wonderful day to spend with you guys, personally I loved each & every part of the trip as well as my short part.

It was a great chance for all of us to learn more skills, the instructions from Mo was really useful & important for us to control the excitement during -V-'s lead.

-V- you increased our adrenaline level to the maximum level, great lead ;-)
Andy beautiful lead mate, I liked it although it was short.
Grizzly professional lead man & thanks for the playing area.
Ihab & Wolle I was really impressed how you did the fast paced track it was joyful to me to play in the back.

Thanks to Mo for well organized trip & thanks to you guys for finding our way to Al Khatim :-)

Until next time, wish you a nice week end & good luck.

Thank you everyone for the exciting trip. Desert hawk, you saved my weekend with this morning trip ;) . Thank you for your valuable tips. I admit I was mostly worried about choosing a challenging and entertaining track.
It was nice meeting Andy, wolle, ihab. And nice catching with Abu ghazi, hani, and DH.
I was impressed with everyone's driving skill.
Andy, u took right decisions when u slightly changed track to suit ur driving style. 8-)
Ihab and wolle, both of u knw exactly ur own capabilities, which everyone agrees that it is essential for safe driving ;)
Abu ghazi, you manage your pathy so well my friend. When u first took the lead, and u choose tht track, I thought ur crazy, :oops: and tht it's impossible for a pathy, thn I was surprised tht it seemed so easy with u! :mrgreen:
Grizzly, great control of your car. Very nice and swift side cresting. 8-)
Desert hawk, as usual, u have great control over the convoy. Accurate timing. Simply, good managing skills :) ;) .
Thank you everyone
I hope I'll have more chances to lead more trips soon :mrgreen:

Thanks to everyone for a fantastic morning in the desert.

The weather decided to spice things up a little offering a great mix of sand. The day started chilly with plenty of cloud and spattering of rain in the air. It was fantastic to all get a chance to lead and to sweep and to follow the different tracks in a wide range of terrain from the bigger dunes and valleys to the more technical short areas.

Certainly from me i learnt a massive amount from following everyone and all the pointers from Desert Hawk, thank you. I thought all the tracks chosen were great and well done to everyone on the leads, perfect.

I know that we were glad to have DH and the winch and for me, I think I needed it after deciding to "park" in the wrong spot. wont' be doing that again. (sure pictures will surface soon)

the weather picked up and that brought out some smiles and a quicker momentum of trip.

loved the open areas to stretch our legs (well found grizzly) although next time i will give it a go.

all in all a wonderful day, with great friends, and a huge amount of new understanding and experience to draw on for the future.

Well done all and look forward to the next time. see you in the sand soon.
Focus on the future, that's where your life is going. Focus on the past and you will go nowhere.
