Rooster Newbie

Post by Octopus »

Drivers:
Zak - fortuner (Lead)
Farhan - prado (2nd Lead)
Aun - pajero
Sultan - jlu
Adam - jl (Sweeper)

We met up a bit delayed as there was a stuck on the main road and Sultan conducted their recovery so they could get back on the highway. After a fresh briefing for newbie driving we made a start into the dunes. Weather was on our side and we practiced alot of different manouvers like straight cresting, small slipface descent, and long dune climbes with good speed. After a couple of breaks we continued to play a bit more with everyone having a chance to do a recovery and learn their skills. We had one big jump by Adam over a straight crest which looked alot worse than it felt and I stopped the convoy to make sure that the car was in good condition, thanks to the metal bumpers and soft sand all was in good shape an we continued.
Just about on time we reached the sabkha and made our way back to the tarmac.
Well done to Farhan and Sultan they were a good support and thanks to Adam for holding the rear.

Look forward to see you all soon.

Zak

Thank you so much Marshal Zak for arranging this drive. It was indeed a good learning as a second lead.
Looking forward to more such drives and a great company.
