Looper Posted December 6, 2023 Author Report Share Posted December 6, 2023 Sweihan - Nagra Hill - Sweihan @Zed, @Patrick van der Loo, @Ashutosh Garg, @Tareq Al Turq, @Cha, @Bashar Beasha, @Jaro Tuzinsky, @Christian Andras, @Bjoern, @Benjamin Thank you all for signing up for the drive. For the last few drives my modus operandi has been, meet up and drive without much discourse about what we are going to do. My convoy planning has been limited to my second lead and perhaps #3 at most. The reason being that at this level the convoy members can manage at any level they are put at. Last time we drove in Sweihan we were only 4 members and I let the convoy order to be fluid. Fill in whatever position one gets a chance to, so that the conovy keeps moving. If one driver had a refusal, then they loop back into the convoy and keep driving, whichever position they get back into the convoy. But I found that Carnity discipline is very strongly embedded in all of us. After the first few min, the short convoy spontaneously decided on a convoy order and followed it till the end without breaking it. Frankly, I was very proud of the culture of discipline we have at Carnity and the strong sense of safe driving etiquette that comes along with it. We will deflate to start by 7:00 a.m. sharp, but keep in mind that the drive could be slightly longer than usual. After checking out a couple of play areas in the Sweihan we will drive towards Nagra hill and conquer it. We then will move south towards Old Lady dune but take a westward turn and go back to Sweihan. Just be aware that Sweihan and especially Nagara Hill; those places are a mess and are full of bouncy track infested desert area. Due to the dew-soaked wet sand the tracks are going to be pronounced and they don't get erased by the wind being made on sticky sand. 3 1 1 don't drive like its your last one.

Put me in 2nd Lead and that discipline will be tested 😂 *joking, i won't separate the convoy, most probably 50m left & right from marshal's footpath 😁 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
