Morning Fewbie Desert Drive: Ale &.Richard RELAY DRIVE. Margham to Lahbab - 25 Sep 2020

Drive Details

Level:  Fewbie and Above

When:  25 Sep 2020, Friday.

Meeting time: 5:30 AM (SHARP - Without any exceptions)

Action Plan: We will explore a BRAND NEW AREA, where 2 separate convoys will follow roughly the same path, each leaving at opposite ends, and exiting at the other convoy' starting point. The 2 convoys plan to meet halfway through the drive to exchange a symbolic "baton" (like in a relay track race). The "relay" format is a safe way to drive 2 convoys through the same area, to give more drivers the opportunity of visiting this very new desert location.

We will practice controlled driving over technical dunes, side sloping, principles of ridge riding and crossing (low dunes), at a leisurely pace.

Meeting Point: Margham Entry Point - https://goo.gl/maps/4yaM9QsJ52rxvQUT6

What to bring along: Loads of water, snacks (for yourself), face mask, rubber gloves, enthusiasm and willingness to learn.

Approximate finish time: 09:30 AM
