Dunescape Journey - AUH Intermediate Al Khatim Saturday PM

[ShaanibMi]

Convoy order:
1. Shaanib - Lead
2. Toni - Second Lead
3. Baha - Sweeper

Objective: The primary objective of the trip was to advance through medium dunes, familiarizing participants with side sloping techniques and exploring terrain towards east.

Participants Revoking: Only three managed to join the trip due to the numerous cancellations that happened before the scheduled time.

Safety Briefing: The expedition commenced at 3 PM with a comprehensive safety briefing outlining the fundamentals of side sloping, emphasizing precautions due to soft sands and hidden rocks within the medium dunes.

Skill-building Activities: The initial part of the drive involved warming up with smaller dunes. We practiced side sloping, ensuring everyone in the convoy felt comfortable with the maneuver. Since it was a small convoy we continuously engaged in side-sloping from one dune to another, particularly focusing on maintaining good momentum in medium dunes.

Break: After approximately 90 minutes we took a break for refreshments, during which the group discussed maintaining proper momentum to avoid the need for second tries.

Exploration: After the break, the convoy engaged in more side sloping activities and exploring new areas. Ample time was dedicated to practicing side sloping and maneuvering between different dunes, fostering a hands-on learning environment for all participants.

Conclusion: The expedition concluded successfully around 5:30 PM, with all participants safely exiting at the initial meeting point. The collective efforts, teamwork, and adherence to safety protocols ensured a smooth and fulfilling advanced drive experience for everyone involved.

Acknowledgments: Thanks to Toni and Baha for their outstanding support in their designated roles. The collective effort and cooperation greatly contributed to the success of this expedition.

Looking forward to upcoming adventures and further explorations.
