Dxb Recovery Front or Back Newbie

Post by MustafaHabash »

We all met at the shops at around 6:15. After having the tires deflated and safety briefing done, we entered the desert at around 6:30. The target was to reach iftar bowl, therefore we set a fast pace cruising between the dunes and staying on top of round/flat ridges. The convoy was doing exceptionally great despite the few 2nd tries. With the confidence picking up, i increased the pace a bit and changed the choice of tracks especially that we exit a ditchy soft sand area into clean and clears one where we enjoyed the flow between the crests. Just a couple of 100 meters from reaching iftar bowl, one of the drivers started suffering from motion sickness, so we decided to start heading back. Along the way, we had to enter a small bowl and exit with a straight crest, only that the sand was too soft and was very challenging for Baso, which led him to a nasty stuck on flat sand. Having this recovered, we crossed the soft sand area towards badayer shops mosque side, also along the way Amit decided to take a dip in the same ditch a member tested yesterday. Guess this track to be avoided.. after Dimitry done a great job recovering Amit, we reached the exit with a big smile on our faces and a lovely spirit.

Amazing driving from all members today.

Dimitry 2nd lead, superb job, excellent communication, and great recovery execution
Amit, very proud on how far you’ve become since you started with us. Looking forward to hearing the good news soon
Baso, you showed great improvement today. We’ll keep on practicing till you feel more comfortable with this
Grant, thanks for the splendid work done today. You have managed all the 2nd tries flawless. Looking forward to seeing you more on the drives.

Till next time people.

Mustafa

awesome drive, didn't realize how close we got to the Iftar bowl. One item to add to the off-road kit - motion sickness tablets for passengers and other drivers. you never know when it hits you.

Fantastic track Moustafa. Flowing and challenging with the zones of soft sand.

All those attempting second tries remained calm and under control. Great drive. Thanks to all

Excellent drive as always. Thank you Mustafa for your passion and dedication to coaching us to increase our abilities time after time. Always a pleasure. Was a fun group and very patient with the few hiccups we had - thank you all.

Now as for that ditch, I guess I followed the tracks into it from the day before … :)))
