Abu Dhabi Off-Road Club Forums

I had posted a newbie trip which gained a lot of interest. The trip was posted for 8 but I had 48 interested drivers. After getting confirmation from our Marshals to help support the drive, I split the members into 5 convoys (thanks to Adiga, Khaled, Mark and Irfan).

I created a name/number list and shared the convoy list with each Marshal (which included the number of trips each driver has completed).

I started my convoy at 3pm at Bu-Tais West. All the technical dunes were covered (my convoy order was Shameem as second lead, Nikhi was next, followed by Bimal and Deon, Dilip was my official sweeper and AJ was my flying eagle) - thank you all for a great job. They all covered the technical dunes with big and heavy 4x4s. There were a couple of recoveries and a couple of second tries but all done very well.

Enjoyed the afternoon/evening - great company See you all soon
