First Congrats to Chief Marshal Khaiwi for this great milestone of 600 Adventures Trips. Way to go Chief lets keep it going.
Thanks also to Scorpionita for organising this great all levels trip.

We all met at the meeting point on time. There was a few members who didn't show up (Please if you are not going to make it let the trip lead know so we don't delay trip longer than needed).

With the help of Marshal irfpk we moved all the members of the trip to an open area to separate us from the rest of the members of the other groups . We then proceeded with the safety briefing and convoy setup. We started off into the dunes and strait away a small bowl was found and that's where the fun started. After a few 2nd tries I decided to change the route for the others to avoid this small bowl. We then continued for a short distance when we got our first stuck on the first straight crest. At the request of Owlesy I allowed him to do the recovery so he can get the practice. Owlesy did a great job recovering the Jeep off the crest.

We continued further into the desert moving nicely with everyone was driving nicely with a only a few 2nd tries here and there. We found a nice spot for a break where we were joined by Bisho's advanced trip and the members got to watch as they demonstrated advanced driving skills. After the break we did our first big decent 1 car at a time with Marshal irfpk assisting each member. We arrived at another big dune where we had some more fun challenges with a couple stuck's (self recoveries) and 2nd tries and a track change.

Once we all gathered again we continued on a different track where we met out 2nd big decent to give the drivers practice in vehicle control. After our last break since everyone was driving really good I decided to increase the level a little while making our way to the bbq spot. Again everyone did very well and handled every fun I gave them so they can learn more and gain the confidence they need to continue on future trips.

As this was my 1st time going to the new bbq spot I let Marshal Irfan take the lead the last 2 kilometres since he knew that area where the spot was.

Thank you Marshal Irfan for your great support always and giving good advice to all the members when needs.
Thank you Marshal Omar for taking the 2nd convoy.

All newbies I am very impressed with your driving and I hope you all learned a lot and gained the confidence in driving and handling your vehicle and its capabilities. Every drive should be a learning experience and it is always my goal to fun each and every driver in a safe and controlled manner.

Again congrats to Chief Khaiwi. And Thanks again to Scorpionita for this event.

Have a great week everyone and hope to see you all again in the sand soon.
