Convoy report for the Convoy 1

First of all @Sajit Modiyil and @siddharth maheshwari didn't showed up. It is definitely not cool to not show up for the drive you signed up. @Nivin couldn`t came but at least he gave a explanation. Hopefully your car is back to business  

This was bit challenging. Maybe more than challenging. Actually we started very good, we drove from Nazwa to Pink rock making some sideys. Few refusals and if i am not mistaken maybe with only 1 stuck. Once we reach to the Pink Rock area we start having issues. Area was full of soft patches. Because of soft sand cars start having issues LR2 had hard time to deal with the soft sand without a low gear and Ashok`s Pajero start making a weird noise. In this point we decided to take Ashok to 2nd December cafeteria to let him exit.

While heading to 2nd December i found myself in a nasty situation. Right side of me pocket, infront of me pocket with a tree in it and my car facing to that tree. I noticed the situation at the last point and manage to stop before going in to that pocket but i wasn`t able to go back, one of my tire was up and my car was front heavy. With a brain storm with Richard and precious help from Rizwan we managed to take me out from the situation.

On the way again we had couple of stucks, which made us got slow and when we reach to the 2nd December it was already time to exit. We all inflated and exited safely.

@Rizwanm2 did very well. Thank you for being 2nd lead.

@Arda Yagcioglu had his first fewbie drive. Once you change your car it will be more easier for you.

@Ashok chaturvedi hopefully your car will not have any big issue and you will be back soon.

@Jose Martin flawless drive. Did wonderful. 

@Wrangeld Thank you so much for your support.

[siddharth maheshwari]

Indeed it was nice lead by @sertac. we got the chance to do couple of sidie's today, but convoy movement was interrupted more often due to stuck and refusals. I think i was first to have a refusal on nasty angle,  but it was all part of the game and good learning curve for everyone. good team work from all the members. special thanks to @Wrangeld for guiding us through the refusals and stuck, when we were head scratching, he made it look like a piece of cake.
