Thanks @Tbone for organizing great afternoon drive and to @Wrangeld for leading convoy no2!
convoy2 experienced a bit of everything! Some long range dunes, few small bowls, then into cross cross as the drive led into the soft technical sections. And some reduced visibility at times too due to wind blowing the sand around!
a few stucks and refusals gave perfect opportunity for the convoy to learn.
in no particular order . . .
@Juzer Gandhi had stuck at angle while criss crossing. Here, the car wasn’t fully on the ridge as Richard explained before trying to turn down. A bit of digging and he was out but we all got the opportunity to learn here!
@FARAZ MOHAMMED became stuck while side slopping. Here, a reminder that momentum is key and to not try to fight gravity. Great self recovery to rejoin the convoy though!
at one point in the soft sands we had 2 or 3 cars stuck but all resolved with digging (even in the heat). Great guidance on where to dig from @Alain Canivet-Abikhalil!
@udit completed his first fewbie. From the back it’s always re-assuring to see drivers steering down when they begin to fishtail or loose momentum rather than trying to maintain the line of the driver in front against gravity. A few refusals as you continue to learn how to handle your car but Well done!
see you all in the sand again soon !
