Advance 101 Khazna Saturday 28 Afternoon

Post by CANTALOUBE »

Nothing beats an Advance 101 to work on the sideways passage of the ridges. For most drivers it was their first time or first time with a new vehicle. For me too as it had been a while since I had done an advance and I felt it.
After a briefing on safety and advance travel technique, we set out to have fun, the convoy consisted of :

John (leader) Jeep JK
Gerhart*** Jeep JK
Shiroy*** FJ
Tareq*** 4 runner
Paul *** (sweeper) Silverado
And Marshals Michael and Thomas as supervisors.


We left for the medium dunes, after a warm up we started to work on the passage and the driving on the ridges. Some were more complicated to take than others but overall all the drivers did it well and safely.

It was a gentle advance, no big challenges, just to take the temperature. It did not prevent me from getting stuck 3 times, it's rare but the feeling was not there this afternoon! Thank you Michael for getting me out of the sand.
In the end it was a quiet learning experience, all the drivers did very well for a first time without taking any risks.
Thanks Gerhart and Paul for your work and Roy for your video.
Thanks Michael and Thomas for your support.

See you on the sand
John
