Newbie Trip Following Stingray Pt.3 at Sweihan BBQ Point 14th Jan – Trip Report

Post by isham66 »

I gave a detailed briefing to my convoy. We started our drive at 8:30 am. There were 5 cars including me, 3 members cancelled last minute.

My convoy:
Lead: Isham
Second Lead: Francois
Sweeper: Rafael
Team: John, Asep

I had Francois as my second lead as he is an intermediate, Rafael as sweeper as he is also an intermediate and I put both newbies in between.

We started the drive at a slow pace and took the drivers to the technical side, all drivers managed to demonstrate great skill in these technical dunes. I then took them to the bigger dunes to test their gravity skills, again, they all did well.

We did some high straight crest and went down deeply - again great effort by the team. There were a few second tries throughout the drive as well as a recovery with the winch. We drove our way from the Sweihan BBQ Point to Nagra and took a few breaks in between. From there, we drove behind Nagra and took some pictures. We then decided to head back to the deflation point and got there at 11:30 am.

All drivers did a great job. Thank you Francois for the great second lead and Rafael for the great sweep. John and Asep, both of you drove very well too.

Thank you for joining me on my morning drive.

Looking forward to seeing you all again soon with more drives in the future.

Take care all...
