Intermediate trip to BU TAIS on 15 January

Report of the intermediate trip to BU TAIS on 15 January

Everyone arrived on time. We had a young intermediate, first trip, so we had a smooth trip.

The convoy consisted of :
Myself "John" Leader
Nick (second lead) - JK
Riyas - FJ
Senigal - L Cruiser
Aurélien - JLU
Explorers René, Osama and Marshal Michael as supervisor

This was officially my first intermediate lead, so after a technical and safety briefing to the drivers and mainly the young intermediate, we immediately headed east into the dunes along Ni'mad Rd.

It was very windy and the sand was peculiar with hard patches formed from the end of year rains. The area was beautiful with no sign of vehicles. The area is good for an intermediate trip with many dunes to do many slops.

All the drivers did very well, especially Riyas for his first intermediate. Senigal and Aurélien drove very well and regularly made the right decisions "never fight gravity".

Excellent work from Nick as second lead and René as master sweeper. Thank you Osama and Michael for your support.

It was a real pleasure to drive everyone through the dunes of BUTAIS. See you on the sand.

John
