Ale Vallecchi Posted May 3, 2021 Author Report Share Posted May 3, 2021 Dear Desertnauts. A quick follow up about tomorrow's PM drive: the first objective will be to complete the crossing of the first 2 areas - Al Aweer to Lahbab, and Lahbab to Nazwa (via Mahafiz) the major skill we will practice in these areas will be ridge-riding, in a very controlled situation (not quite in a straight line, but rather steering along curvy ridges) the second objective, if time will allow, will be to extend the drive in the Pink Rock/Big Red area the skills we'll practice here, given that we'll likely reach the area later in the afternoon, will be fast pace and criss-crossing the convoy composition is studied to allow the tutoring of each Fewbie Plus driver by one Intermediate member, the former following the latter, alternating each driver in the convoy; The convoy numbering will be the following, with the letter V indicating "veteran" IM drivers, and the letter J indicating the more "junior" FB+ members: @GauravSoni in SL (V) @Lakshmi Narasimhan at #3 (J) @Thomas Varghese in place #4 (V) @Batuhan Kulac at #5 (J) @Craig Finlayson, will center the convoy (V) @Pacific will follow at #7 (J) @Probir Mukherjee at #8 (V) @Gok Krish in place #9 (J) @Ali Abas at #10 (V) @Ranjan Das will be #11 (J), and @Shehab Alawadhisweeping the convoy to safety. Please reach the meeting point, just at the outskirts of Al Aweer, in time (considering Ramada's traffic at that hour), and start deflating, taking into account the high temperature of the early afternoon. In reaching the meeting point, pay attention to road works, and a detour to reach Al Aweer, which is taking place on E611. The road works, combined with heavy traffic, may cause delays in reaching the location. We'll choose the radio channel on the spot. Looking forward to seeing you all tomorrow. Have a great evening. 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can’t wait till tomorrow!!! You have veteran @GauravSoni ahead of you in his Pajero and me right behind you. Just follow Gaurav's path and you will do fine. Gaurav is one driver I always love to follow. Don't worry about me following you or getting closer. I can manage well while following. I think @Batuhan Kulac will be fine to follow me as I always tend to climb higher when doing a side slope and he being having a heavier car will do better if he climbs higher. Same when ridge riding too. I tend to keep the car on the ridge with both side wheels on both sides of the ridge. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GauravSoni Posted May 3, 2021 Report Share Posted May 3, 2021 @Thomas Varghese it would be naive of me to think of me as veteran. Every drive I learn something new about myself and my car observing my fellow mates! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lakshmi Narasimhan Posted May 3, 2021 Report Share Posted May 3, 2021 It is my pleasure driving along with such experienced veterans!!! Always there are many take away from every drive, but I make sure I grab at least few!!!! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
