Switch and Flow North Sweihan (3rd Sep)

Post by Octopus »

Drivers:

Zak - Fortuner (Lead)
Rene - JL (2nd Lead)
Rob - Trail Boss
Mikkel - FJ
Thomas - Y61
Amr - Fotuner (Sweeper and Marshal Support)

With some good enthusiasm we started the drive with a slow roll and radio check. We started with some practice on smaller dunes before moving to the much bigger dunes of north sweihan. The sand was quite soft in most places and actually getting onto the crest was a fun, however we had alot of fun riding the crests and navigating around the area. It was a joy for me to see everyone coming over some of the more challenging big dunes and crests. Only a single recovery which I hope is a good sign.

Very good control from Mikkel and Rob on the crests and switching their cars safely. Especially Rob who took the option to turn down safely instead of pushing his car into a compromising position.

Thank you to Marshall Amr for the support and showing me what the fortuner can do! and excellent 2nd lead once again from Rene, always reassuring to have you to cover up my mistakes.

Take care and hope to see you soon.

Great trip, Zak. Very nice part of the Sweihan that had some great straight long dunes to practice side cresting. Good lead and track as always and all drivers did really well. And great to see Amr again. Till next time.
