Have good weekend everybody. 3 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brette Posted October 18, 2020 Author Report Share Posted October 18, 2020 Drive Report: With the weather cooling down it was a chilly morning at 15 degrees. Everyone was at the deflation point on time, deflated and ready to go. Entering from Qudra south was a bit tricky with the technical dunes and having a few heavy weights ( Sequndra, F150, Y62 and JGC ) in the convoy, I decided to not to try going over them but instead found a path through them to avoid any stucks right at the start. Once we crossed the subkha, we had a mix of technical and a few long range dunes where we picked up the pace a bit seeing that everyone was doing quite well and for a while the entire convoy was moving at close to 45kmph. Having covered about 35 KM by 9.30, I was contemplating exiting close the last exit as we were quite close or whether to go through to solar park. A quick word with @Frederic who confirmed that everyone was doing well and we should be able to make it to solar park led to us changing direction and heading ito solar park and we were there at around 10.05. Besides for a few refusals and a couple of stucks, everyone did very well and we covered close to 45 KM. Drive support team. @Ashy, thank you for being the perfect second lead, @Kailasthank you for the help on the recoveries and being a brilliant center forward , last but not least thank you @Frederic for keeping the convoy moving and for overlooking the stucks and recoveries. @Ashy @VipinShetty @tcarrimjee @Anand Nataraj @Abu Muhammad @Kailas @Dagdag Sofiane @Franco Swart @Francois Germishuys @Alexander Alcala @Fredericwell done guys. Being my very first lead, I was a bit nervous to start with but soon realized this was an excellent convoy and each one of you did really well and that kinda eased my nerves. Having @Frederic in sweep was also an advantage as we were literally playing in his back yard. Again, well done all and see you'll in the sand soon. 3 2 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frederic Posted October 18, 2020 Report Share Posted October 18, 2020 @Brette you have taken us on an absolute perfect drive where we were given a nice mix of long range dunes and some technical areas. That mix is essential for Fewbie level drives and gives a lot of opportunities to learn. As i have seen on my other drives as well, the teamwork was amazing and this makes it all worth it. Keep it up 👍!! 8 "Go as far as you can see; once you get there, you'll be able to see further." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alexander Alcala Posted October 18, 2020 Report Share Posted October 18, 2020 Thank you @Brette for the drive. It was a great morning, really fun. For me, being behind @Francois Germishuysand his F150 was super fun. He was stirring and making the sand loose for me to play with my Chilean Jeep. Great group also, looking forward for the next raid. 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ashy Posted October 18, 2020 Report Share Posted October 18, 2020 Thanks @Brette for exciting drive, this is the first time I drove through a lot of technical dunes which gave good workout for my shoulders 😂... first time the convoy was lead by not 1 but 3 JGC😉 As @Frederic mention it was a perfect mix and awestruck seeing his Pajero pulling the mighty Patrol out😱 1 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really admire @Brette for that and could eventually make his ship to sail without a sail. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
