NAHEL MORNING ADVANCE DRIVE
Posted: Mon Feb 27, 2023 1:50 pm
After a great day of GPS HUNT we set off to camp in the Nahel area for the next day's trip.
Everyone arrived at our bivouac point around 8:00 am
The team was composed of:
1 - Marshal John
2 - Marshal Thomas
3 - Marshal Kevan
4 - Ameen
5 - Bashar
6 - James
7 - Maher (Expert)
8 - Suryaveer
9 - Ziad
10 - Nanda
We decided with Marshal Thomas to split the group in two and to give the experts and some Advance the opportunity to take a lead.
I will let Thomas make his own report after this one.
My group:
1 - Marshal John
4 - Ameen
3 - Vaughan
9 - Ziad
5 - Marshal Kevan
So my group was composed of the most experienced Advance, I made a smooth start and we did some simple ridge crossings. We went east towards Nahel. There were many tracks but we were able to do some nice and technical ridge crossings.
At the end of the first part, Ziad took the lead for 30 minutes and then it was Vaughan's turn to take the lead to the return point.
It was a good place for them, the dunes are not very high but the passage of the ridges requires concentration and rigor. They did very well and should think about having fun. The first times are a bit stressful but with experience, it becomes a pleasure to lead and make the tracks.
They did it safely and with a lot of desire. Ameen also drove very well.
Thanks Kevan for your support at the back.
Thanks Thomas.
See you soon on the sand
