COVID19 Compliant - Saturday Morning Newbie Desert Drive - Qudra - Dubai - 13 Mar 2021

[Humayun Ghias]

Such an amazing drive! Thank you to everyone and especially to Emmanuel and Yousef! I learn new things everytime. 

Was not too happy about getting stuck right in the beginning but got out fairly quickly with some help! 

First time at sweep and was a great learning experience.

@Humayun Ghias getting stuck isn’t something that should make you feel angry about yourself, that’s just the game. I got myself stuck today, remember? Besides, for someone who was in sweep with a Patrol Y62, only one stuck is actually not bad at all!

Everyone thank you for managing so well in a fast-paced and challenging newbie drive. I thoroughly enjoyed it!

@Yousef Alimadadi and @luis mantecon thanks a lot for your wonderful support.

Sorry so late with feedback!  Absolutely great time today!  Many thank you’s to @Emmanuel and @Yousef Alimadadi for your time and advice on the drive.  Have to say that at times it was very challenging for me and my LR3 today.  Frankly, I was nervous on quite a few occasions.  I know I am a better desert driver today because of the technical details we attempted.  I have soooo much more to learn.  Have a great week!

Sorry @Roger K I wasn’t aware. Please next time do annonce on radio if you don’t feel comfortable, no shame at all about that - or did you annonce and I didn’t get the message?

@Emmanuel looking for your trip report feedback.

@Emmanuel I was trying to say that it was the correct amount of nervousness for me.  In order for us newbies to get better, we need to be challenged.   You perfectly accomplished that goal in my opinion, as parts of the drive took some (or all) of us out of comfort zone.  If it is too easy, we will never get better.  Wouldn’t change a thing.
