Intermediate Khazna Sunday 29 morning

Post by CANTALOUBE »

After a pleasant night in the desert we joined the group at the deflation point. Everyone arrived on time except for one driver who dropped out. It is a big convoy but I had the support of Marshals Thomas and Osama.

The team consisted of:

John Leader-Jep JK
Gerhart ***second lead - Jeep
Deborah** - FJ
Arun** FJ
Glenn** FJ
Vaughan** Jeep JL
James** Pajero 3.8
Pascal** 4 Runner
Alaa** 4 runner
Ahmed** (Sweeper) Pathfinder

And Marshals Thomas and Osama as supervisor

After the intermediate safety briefing, we headed to the dunes west of the trail and stayed in this area the whole way. This is an open area where we had a lot of fun and did a lot of climbing on soft sand and slops. Despite the number of drivers the rhythm was fluid in the first part, we had a few second attempts but overall everyone drove very well and safely, without fighting gravity.

The second part was more complicated, I explored a place further south that I did not know to join the road. It was not very pleasant, very bumpy and full of vegetation. We had a lot of second attempts one pop out but no stuck.

In the end everyone drove very well and had a lot of fun, I think. The temperature was not too hot.

Thanks Gerhart for the second lead job, don't forget to leave more distance to the leader next time. Thank you Ahmed for the great sweep and keeping me informed of the situation at the back.

Thanks Thomas for your support and also Osama for coming in unannounced. I hope you are happy with the many pictures you took.
See you soon on the sand.

See you on the sand
John

This was a good drive, sadly had to depart early and missed the second half. Seems like I missed the pop out though.

See you all on the next drive.
