Leaders Lead - II - Learn to lead the desert drive - 14 June 2026

[Asif Hussain]

Leading in the desert is one of the most rewarding off-road experiences, combining adventure, strategic thinking, and real-time teamwork in a constantly changing environment.

In the Leaders Lead – Second Session, you'll deepen your skills with a strong focus on navigation and route management — essential tools for confident and safe leadership.

This session will guide you through three focused modules:

1. Navigation Mastery: Understand how to use a GPS device, compass, and natural landmarks for reliable desert orientation.
2. Convoy Leadership: Learn how to scale drive levels with achievable challenges, while keeping the convoy safe and engaged.
3. Emergency Route Planning: Develop skills to plan effective recovery and exit routes for unexpected situations and backtracking.

You can choose any device or app (garmin, gaia, mytrail etc) and mark these basic points and you will be required to reach anyone or a few of them:

1. Entry and Exit
2. Mark long range playable dunes
3. Mark pylon tracks
4. Mark as many sabka, flat track or easy exits in case of emergency
5. Mark fencing or restricted area
6. Mark technical dunes

P.S. I will personally check each of your devices to verify and help you further.
