    in Offroad Drives

    Posted

    Dear Nahil'ians! 😁

     

    thank you for showing your interest for this 5:30 am challenge! ( Confirmed and WL) members! 
     

    Can u pls react to this post with any of your fav emoji,  if you agree with below : 

    "5:40 We all as a convoy will commence the drive, and if anyone is late , we leave him behind and none of you will consider me rude😅🙏🏼!  - This means we all arrive on or before time and be ready for briefing 5:35! and This also means if anyone's GPS shows arrival time beyond 5:30, they leave a message or call me to say they are taking a U-turn back home" 

    Thank you!

    Dear Fayah'ions

    @Luke K P @Aser @ChrisW @nithish468 @Talal H @Andrew John Melvill @Sandeep Nayar  @Hani crest king @Alexanderrr  ! 

    Since I already see a well written summary from @Luke K P - All I would say is, was a very very well done convoy , which made me scale up and aim for the Technical patch right after our break, which again was very well managed by all of you ! 

    Thanks @Luke K P for being the CF, that Chai during the break and handling those couple of refusals and @Alexanderrr for being am amazing SL, was good to see you again back in sand ! Thanks @Hani crest king for sweeping the convoy - and by the time you read this, perhaps you would have done one more convoy sweeping in Dubai ;) ! and YES - YOU TOTALLY JUSTIFIED YOUR NAME IN FIRST 15 minutes of the drive :D - Infact you were soo infectious you passed it on to other truck in convoy immediately :D

    see you all in Sand soon ! 

     

    Dear @Ishak - I appreciate and respect your decision of informing me for not being able to make it in time, and also not putting me in fix to hold the convoy as everyone else was ready to move - We certainly missed you but am sure this was not the last drive - will see you sooon again buddy ! 

    Below the drive stats and track we took.  The detour is where we headed towards the technical area :)image.png.e249c0f2d3a888aefef6257f9294b58d.png

    That was really good fun - some nice technical practice, a few good ridges, and some (mis)adventures to learn from. Thank you @DP1011 for leading, and @Alexanderrr for giving me some good tracks to follow! Great support from @Luke K P and @Hani crest king too - thank you. I was very impressed with the on-the-drive coaching you all gave. 
     

    I think the main takeaways for me were a reminder in the fundamentals of momentum driving on technical dunes (especially given the soft sand), and consistently applying the basics on ridge crossings (particularly being stable on the ridge before manoeuvring onward). 
     

    It was also such a good drive that the AD police sent me a nice picture to remember it by… 🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️

    That's a super fancy techie savvy picture ! Dint know they send with all such details ! My recent eyesight prescription too doesn't have details to this level :D

    Hello Summer warriors ! @Luke K P @Vijay Cowlagi @Aser @ChrisW @nithish468 @Talal H @Andrew John Melvill @Sandeep Nayar @Wilfredo Perez @Ahmed Farouk  + WL members - @Hani crest king @Alexanderrr @Ishak

    As we get closer to the date and I start to work on the convoy numbering, can I please request you all to revisit your plan and if any change please accordingly update the RSVP, as we do have 3 WL members too. 

    Some imp elements for you to consider for this drive : 

    1. TIMELY ARRIVAL : The drive is in Abu Dhabi - and we will move sharp 5.55am and have briefing in sand - so you need to plan to be on or before scheduled meeting time accordingly.  The expected temperature around 10am is about 40 degrees ! hence Starting the drive and exiting on time will be crucial. - If you have any late night plans for Friday, I recommend take into account and skip the plan if not, then the drive :D

    2. Its Getting Foggy in mornings, so please have additional buffer while planning what time to start from your residence and not rush up. 

    3. ALL GEARS IN PLACE : Before starting, please ensure all your gears are in place, Radio's charged and flag mounts + Flags all in good shape and in place.....and goes without saying rest of the season, ensure your vehicles are in good shape and brace up for the heat !

    Dear @Victor Socaciu I can completely relate to you, of my initial days into off-roading and excitement and confidence to do FB drives after couple of NB drives :) - however Safety comes first and the grading structure in place as @Gaurav shared above has been with lot of inputs and experiences in past. Hence I have just removed you from RSVP, so others in WL can plan their weekend accordingly. 

    Would for sure love to see you soon in one of the drives , and btw amazing choice of car ;) jeep power - all the way !!
