We started off with a quick briefing on the intermediate level drive and controlling the car and feeling the weight. And then went to practice wheeling on the small dunes just next to the road. Lots of articulation was required so there was alot of Pajero's lifting wheels but everyone did well controlling their cars and getting comfortable with the weight shifting from side to side and walking up the dunes.
Then we moved toward the larger dunes and started to drive at a faster pace and doing some small side slopes and big climbs.
Finally we played on the big dunes of Razeen and had a good explore of the different areas. There were a few 2nd tries and a couples of stucks however everyone did well working together with good communication. We even saw a desert fox which was a very pleasant surprise.

Thank you all for joining and a big well done to the new intermediates James and Jean Luc and also to the new advanced Gerhard and Roy, thank you for the support and holding up the convoy.

Look forward to driving again soon.
