Everybody met on time for what turned out to be quite an eventful trip. Just after deflation and briefing, we had to "fix" my trackbar and hit the dunes for a warmup in the following convoy order
* Flaghunter
* Christohe as second lead
* Webscare
* Ianzki
* F54 as sweeper
All the drivers did extremely well and demonstrated good control of their vehicles while side sloping. About 45 minutes into the trip, we decided to spice it up and turn the trip into intermediate++. We did another small briefing then and practiced basic side cresting of small dunes. Everybody did excellent! A few stucks, all professionally recovered.
After passing the trees we headed in a quicker pace and via easier track direction Sweihan. Khazna is not what it used to be - it is very very bushy. We still had fun, reached the big bowls and played a little bit in the area, also practicing bowl entry and exit.
After the last bowl exit, my Jeep (starter more specifically) decided to catch on fire, so we also tested that everybody has a fire extinguisher handy. Thanks to Ahmad, Fawzi's co-pilot, we managed to identify the problem, disconnect the starter, start the car (thank you manual transmission), and head out of the dunes to the gatch and back to the meeting point for inflation.
Thank you everyone for an eventful and fun Wednesday afternoon and for the help. All of you did very well.
