Newbie Trip at Sweihan PM 04 Jun 2021 - Trip Report

Post by irfpk »

We all met at Sweihan BBQ point at 1530. I conducted trip / safety briefing and set up convoy order. Few cancellations and two newbies ( Dintojoseph and Xm.9741) did not join trip (Please inform the trip leader or cancel trip registration, if you are unable to join).
The participants were as follow:
Irfan (Lead Marshal)
Emdoc ( Marshal Support)
Kamran ( Expert)
John (Advance)
Ajiaji, Sachsur, Dan 29 and cristinojr (Newbies)

Convoy formed in sequence after safety briefing and moved at 1600. Ajiaji was my second Lead. Thanks Ajiaji for very solid second lead. John (Advance) took over the role of sweeper of convoy keeping an eye from rear and gave guidance to drivers where needed. Marshal Emdoc and Kamran provided much needed support. They were everywhere to help and support in negotiating different obstacles. Keeping in view the participants level (between 2 – 8 newbie drives), I initially selected smooth and easy track in flat area / small dunes. Later I increased the level gradually and did straight crest and slopes in larger dunes heading towards Nagra. Reached Nagra at 1730 and had refreshments break for 15 minutes. Numerous second tries as usual but no stuck and pop out. We ended trip with smiling faces in time at 1845 at inflation point.

Thanks everybody for joining my trip and looking forward to see you in future trips. Special Thanks to support Team Marshal Emdoc, Kamran and John, without your support the trip would not have been possible in extremely hot weather (50 C).

Thanks Irfan for organising the trip. It was indeed a very hot afternoon, nevertheless a very enjoyable one. All drivers managed well in the soft sand and heat.
See all again soon

Thank you Irfan for the trip. It was challenging due to the heat and soft sand. But at the end felt much more confident and happy .

It was a good learning experience . Thanks to all who supported.

See you soon.
