Desert Dweller Posted June 20, 2020 Report Share Posted June 20, 2020 Thank you everyone. Bu t honestly the kudos belongs to @Shamil and @Srikumar for planning and leading a fantastic drive. I was pleased to get another recovery under my belt and got to use the rope. Everyone did exceptionally well, and the play area we were led to was brilliant fun. The summer sands are unforgiving, and we had another learning moment re the importance of deflating for the hot sand. I relished rounding up the remainder of the convoy and to lead them to the safety of the team who was helping change a damaged tyre. Thank you for the trust and opportunity. P.S. : The videos are in the gallery 😉 1 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Srikumar Posted June 21, 2020 Popular Post Report Share Posted June 21, 2020 TRIP REPORT With the weather getting hotter by the day, a morning person like me has also started preferring the late afternoon/evening drives. All the drivers reached the deflation point ahead of time, which is very much appreciated both by drivers as well as by our vehicles as it limits the idle time in this heat. While I was deflating @RohanH mentioned to me that on his dashboard the 4x4 system orange light was blinking. From past experience of owning a Pajero, it was suspected to be a solenoid or vacuum leak issue. Sadly, knowing that his 4x4 would not serve him properly we had to ask him to exit. With the rest of the convoy ready to move we did a customary radio check, and for a second week in a row @Roshan Abraham had issues with his radio. This time (unlike last week) everyone in the convoy could hear him except for the trip lead Shamil. Upon suggestions that we change to another channel, it was found that his radio was not properly programmed to all the Carnity frequencies. I wish to reiterative to all Carnity members to ensure that you program all the 5 frequencies on your radio so that we can change the channel incase if we have any issues or disturbances. This is not optional but a mandatory requirement. After sorting it out with a spare radio, Shamil started moving with Roshan has his second lead, @Desert Dweller in center forward and with me in Sweep position. Initially we encountered some technical dunes, from which Shamil rerouted towards the more broad dunes that this area has to offer. Within no time we reached the base of Pink Rocks and we were all taking multiple turn going up. As this area is less visited in these months the cross tracks and bumps are very limited giving all of us an opportunity to properly test our vehicle's hill climb capabilities. With the sun starting to set, we moved towards Big Red. This stretch offer some amazing rolling dunes and Shamil set the right pace throughout this area. There was plenty of ridge riding and criss crossing that challenged all the fewbies without going over the limit. And with the limited refusals we were able to go upto Big Red and return back to Pink Rocks. And for all the limited refusals we had, I could hear @Desert Dweller's prompt guidance on the radio, helping everyone . Its wonderful to see the confidence that she has gained and the way she is actively participating on the drives. With sunset, we had a brief portion of night drive on the back side of Pink Rock. Unfortunately, @Kalahari stepped on some barbed fences that ripped through his tyre sidewall. With the help of Roshan and Shamil we were able to replace the tyre in good time. Another important lesson for everyone is to ensure that you have a working spare tyre, as in earlier drives I have noticed few members not sure about their spare tyre condition or having different sized spare tyres. Offroading does stress the tyres and it can cause failure at any point of time. So a proper working spare tyre is absolutely essential. As it had crossed 8 pm, we quickly exited out on to the road which brought to an end a wonderful evening that was well planned and executed by Shamil. I am sure everyone more than enjoyed your first lead. Well done buddy and I was very happy to be a part of your drive. Also, well done to all the drive participants for keeping up the pace to make it so enjoyable. See you next week. 2 1 1 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
