Participants

Nick - JKU

Everyone found the meeting location easily and we conducted the safety briefing and discussed the plan for the trip. We started the route at the Southwestern corner of Upper Butais next to the gravel road. We headed in a Northeastern direction towards the big dunes of Upper Butais. Starting on the small dunes we practiced side cresting and navigating the area, slowly notching up the level as everyone got comfortable with the different maneuvers. By the time we reached the big dunes everyone was doing well and we had a play in that area enjoying the different challenges.

Only one stuck by myself from landing in a ditch otherwise everyone did well and drove excellent.

Big thank you to Mark for joining the trip and all the support and advice given throughout.
Thanks to Christophe for supporting and keeping a cool head throughout.
And well done to Nick for being so coachable, by the end of the drive you were driving like a veteran.

I hope you all enjoyed and I really appreciate your comments.

Until next time.
