Looper Posted May 19, 2023 Share Posted May 19, 2023 A Note for Convoy 2, we will go south to have a slightly different route than Convoy 1. Yellow track highlighted in the screen grab below is the Convoy 1 starting point and direction. The Black like will be taken by us. So You may start deflating on the south side. @Gertjan, @Nadeem Ansari, @Mohit Gurnani, @Zubair, @Senthil Kumar, @Glenn W, @Andrei S, @Jaro Tuzinsky Looking forward to having a lot of fun and a bit of shoveling, or vice versa - we will find out tomorrow! 6 don't drive like its your last one.

Popular Post Looper Posted May 20, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted May 20, 2023 It was a unique experience to drive in this terrain. I did not know what to expect - it was all new for me and was I not in for a surprise! I wouldn't exaggerate when I tend to describe my feelings but the terrain was super soft… often as soft as talcum powder. I found myself going ahead on top of a dune just to face a refusal. It was a nice challenge to navigate those dunes, and 2 of 3 refusals that I faced were that needed a bit of shovelling and of the last one a small tug. Scenic seemingly a codeword for full of bushes on the entire track, I did love the challenge!!! To back it up I had a fantastic convoy to boot. @Gertjan you were fantastic as second lead. knowing that it was my lead without a marshal behind me to auto correct any mistakes - you took care of the convoy with ease - also thanks for all the shovelling you did through out the drive. @Nadeem Ansari you drove quite well for the beast and had a smooth drive you performed quite well with your beast. @Mohit Gurnani you have driven with me few times till today while I was doing partial leads and I see you improving in every drive. You handled the terrain better than I can ever imagine. @Zubair first time driving with you, and man I couldn't even say you had any issues what so ever, excellent drive for you. @Senthil Kumar I knew I can trust on you for the Center Forward and you did what you had to do. @Glenn W you drive an unique car and I am glad to have you with me. It was nice to drive with you back to back from last week and hope to see you more. @Andrei S it was a smooth drive for you and glad to have you in the convoy. @Jaro Tuzinsky Thank you very much for the sweep and making sure we all move as an unit. I am grateful to @Davie Chase for selecting this location and doing all the legwork related to planning the track as well as convoy order. I just had to show and start driving. I had a fabulous convoy to lead and @GauravSoni at the far end a surprise addition was cherry on the cake. As per @Davie Chase's prediction we reached the first stop at the Watch Tower at about 8 am and from there moved towards the exit. It was hot by 9 am and touching 42 degrees C - it was hot as hell. Climate change fellas!! its El Niño time. We exited right about this time i.e. 9 am - a short duration to drive by any standards but still enjoyable and did everything what was needed to be done in this drive. some stats for the nerds! 9 1 1 don't drive like its your last one.

Davie Chase Posted May 20, 2023 Author Share Posted May 20, 2023 Fellow desert wanders @Felix Obst @Andrei S @Frans M @Joseph Sebastian @Glenn W @Ishak @Mohit Gurnani @Zubair @Nadeem Ansari @Gertjan @Jaro Tuzinsky @Marketa Dobesova @Stan @Senthil Kumar @DP1011 @Looper @GauravSoni firstly thank you all for showing up on time it was great to see you all bright and early this morning. @Looper really appreciate you volunteering to take half the convoy thus allowing us to accommodate all the waitlisted folks this week. Secondly a big congratulations on your first independent lead and I look forward to more adventures tomorrow my friend. A big thank you to @GauravSoni for attending and supporting the second convoy as always, a pleasure to have you along for the ride. Our drive today (Convoy 1) had a little bit of everything, from Vegetation to Virgin sand, soft sand, hard sand, Camels, donkeys and Cows, a couple of refusals that were brilliantly self-recovered, as well as a couple of Stucks and of course a pop out. A big thank you to my second lead @Ishak you did an amazing job holding where necessary and then following instruction to move the convoy out of harms way left or right, and even re-routing at one point. Well done and appreciated the support. Thanks to @DP1011 as always a pleasure to have you along in support buddy. you were just simply amazing, you handle the refusals with calm tone and a knowledgeable approach that allowed most to be self-recovered. well done! @Felix Obst great job at sweep my friend you kept me well informed and more importantly kept the convoy together at the back. Also assisting with the recoveries, great job on the tug for @Ishak it was perfect. @Felix Obst @Frans M @Joseph Sebastian @Ishak @Marketa Dobesova @DP1011 @Stan without exception drove fantastically. you guys are amazing, I enjoyed the banter on the subkha, the teamwork with the shovels, and the patience as we worked through the last stuck and pop off. I hope you all enjoyed the drive today as much as I did. Thank you all. Have a great rest of your weekend Some stats for you from our drive for convoy 1 4 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
