Leading a desert drive is the most amazing experience to have, where you can combine the fun, freedom, creativity, strategic thinking and survival skills all at once. 

Leaders lead is the drive where all participant of that drive will lead for a certain period of time. Backed with the right techniques, experience and supervision so that you can learn the art of leading with a peace of mind without any fear or pressure.

Due to the basic experience required to read the sand and have basic navigational sense, this drive is only suited to the Advance level off-roaders.

You will be learning the basics of leading the convoy in the desert in three different steps:

• Advance sand reading, plan your lead, plan your exits.
• Use of navigational software for selecting the right course of path.
• How to systematically scale the lead for all the cars in the convoy.

Welcome to the leaders lead - first session (1 of 3).

In this first session you will very first break the fear of leading and what to expect, which is the biggest fear for every new leader and will do that formally and properly with this training.

Training will start with briefing on:

• Leading (what to expect)
• Sand reading
• Dune reading
• Angles of approach
• How to see what's on the other side
• Safe entry and safe exits
• Speed vs techniques

Idea is to let you lead in any direction to any destination just to get familiar and confident first with the base concept of leading. No one will judge you if you are too fast or too slow or too bumpy, as that's how everyone learn to lead their first drives.

So take it easy and come with an open mind and clean slate so that you can start a fresh new chapter in your offroading journey.

Looking forward to seeing you all tomorrow.
