Relaxation in Bu Tais / Advance / 22 Oct ‘21

[The Baron]

The trip was supported by:
- Marshal: EmDoc (Michael)
- Expert: Cantaloube (John)

All drivers meet at the Bu Tais gates at 07:00, where we deflated and did the trip briefing.

There were a few late cancellations, so was a small group with only one advance driver (Mahar) and Marshal EmDoc supported the briefing and gave Mahar a short 101 briefing.

Left the meeting point at 07:30 and headed for the Sabina.

The convey order was:
- Lead: The Baron (René)
- 2nd lead; Cantaloube (John)
- Mhamidi001 (Mahar)
- Sweeper; EmDoc (Michael)

We entered the sand after the sabkha and headed east, parallel to the dunes, practicing climbing and side cresting.

We stopped for a break at Bu Tais Tree Dune, which unfortunately is not the same tranquil place it used to be - full of tracks and ‘oasis’ has almost disappeared.

Michael took the lead for a section of the drive, which benefited both Maher and the lead.

Had a couple of second tries during the trip and a stuck (by the lead…), and a pop-out (by the marshal…) and left the desert shortly after 11:00.

It was a really nice morning drive and Mahar did great keeping up and learning.

Thanks to Michael and John for the support and to Mahar for joining the trip.

Till next time.

A great way to start the weekend. Thanks René, it was nice track pitched at the right level for Maher.

I look forward to more of your leads
