Great drive Gavarav , super lead and empathy,Great radio support and guidance .Was able to get out all refusals , but most hilariously needed a tug after tyre reinflation 5 meters from the road .Thanks Gaurav and sorry for being in parking gear in the first two tugs .Lessons learnt in the desert , maintain adequete distance to develop torque momentum , maintain visual range .For reinflation chose a spot ...well on the tarmac . We got close to Pink Rock , saw it but as Gaurav said we missed out due to couple of folks requiring challenging time consuming recovery .Suggestion : since we cannot leave the vehicles or turn our attention away from the radio it would be nice if we get some verbal commentary on the recovery process , that way we can be engaged and learn from these recoveries as well as be updated on the status . If two seniors are doing the recovery the the third can educate the others on radio.🙂 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
topgear Posted August 29, 2020 Report Share Posted August 29, 2020 (edited) I was a bit ‘concerned’ with an evening drive but wanted to try and see what it is like. The drive to the meeting point was fairly eventful compared to morning drives where most things were dark and hardly any traffic. Traffic was quite busy, lots of 4WD on the road, very windy with lots of sand on the road. I got a few drops of ‘rain’ on my windshield. The weather was great when I arrived at the meeting point, notwithstanding that it is still summer. My first evening drive experience was great especially during the transition period shortly before the sun set. The desert was beautiful at that time of the day. Great guidance from Richard @Wrangeldwhen I had my refusal whilst crossing the dune. I was able to view two recoveries from the back with instructions relayed over the radio which I find beneficial for newbies like me. It was also fun following the tracks laid out by @Pancho Last but not least, many thanks @Gaurav for the drive and in dealing with the recoveries along the way. I have uploaded some photos and videos at the Gallery. Edited August 30, 2020 by topgear 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arun Mathew Posted August 29, 2020 Report Share Posted August 29, 2020 @Gauravgreat drive yesterday !! Thanks for helping me with the hot oil sign recovery as well as the education towards EBS & traction display. I will be checking on the same before my next drive which will be surly coming Friday . All co-drivers where great , happy to see people willing to help each other at difficult situation through out the drive . I would recommend if we could start a bit early for the evening drive so that we reach our final destination safe and sound . Thank you richard for helping out as well . I liked your saying “the dessert gods have taken it toll “and sorry for your flag which was lost in the dessert . see you soon guys and keep safe driving !!!❤️❤️ 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
