COVID19 Compliant - Afternoon Intermediate Desert Drive - Short & Sharp Lisaili - Dubai - 24 Apr 2021


Wrangeld

Recommended Posts

Drive Brief

Lisaili provides challenges that require a skills set behind the wheel that can test the best. So we will enjoy the 'short' small, super-technical dunes and the 'sharp' ridges and high dunes, this drive has to offer. This drive will require our drivers to demonstrate that the small dunes are well and truly under control in the same way that the sharp are approached. 

The reward for the short, will be the sharp, criss crossing, ridge riding and slide slipping into the sunset as we make our way, into the Solar Park complex, before a return to Last Exit through the exciting challenge of short and sharp all the way back into our destination.

Good morning, 

I'll be short and sharp. @Watteau @varunmehndiratta you've been moved from WL to on the drive. 

If you're not coming, say so now to save the time of chasing you later.

OK - Wednesday morning and you're all making weekend plans. 

Here's my pre-briefing for the drive on Saturday: 

  1. No dropouts please, because your Friday drive overran or you're tired or the dog ate your homework. If you don't know your weekend plan by now, unless thermonuclear war breaks out, your vehicle got damaged on Friday or there's a real family emergency, any other excuse will be called for what it is. 
  2. IM drive instructions are pretty simple. If you have a problem, call it out. If you can self recover, take the time needed and do it. If you need help, ask. It's not a race so we are not looking for the fastest recoveries so we can move on. 
  3. There is a hierarchy in sorting out problems. Drive, dig, rope, winch, helicopter. At IM, you get yourself into trouble, you get yourself out. 
  4. No excuses, no blame. If you got stuck you got stuck. It's not because the guy/girl in front braked suddenly = you were too close or not in control of your speed. It's not because you did not see the correct line = you're IM so if you don't see the line, make the adjustments needed. Focus on you. 
  5. Short, implies this will be a technical challenge. It will help your drive skills immensely. Sharp, implies criss cross, ridges and side slipping. Let's see which gives more pleasure.

See you Saturday in the Sand.

In short Richard @Wrangeld is implying you are on your own if you make a mistake and get stuck. Sounds great. I started my prayers already not to get stuck as its too difficult to shovel with my hefty frame. As I couldn't think of any usable excuses to back out I'm in. Moreover I RSVP'ed for this drive as I don't have 1 on Friday. Could have but my daughter is returning back home on Friday after her vacation and felt bad when she said I can keep the keys under the doormat if I'm going for a drive and she will take a taxi home. Richard has already whipped up the curiosity and I can't wait to do my 3rd IM drive. Hopefully I won't be physically tested to the limits. Godspeed to Saturday.
