There were sixteen registrations but in the morning it was reduced ten. Other than one member all arrived on time. We decided to make two convoys. More experienced driver's convoy led by explorer Ian Dialg. After safety briefing the convoy started around 7.45am. The warm up drive we took in low level only as it was the second intermediate drive of two drivers in our convoy. Half an hour later the late comer called us when he was ready. Then the convoy moved back to the meeting point to add him to the convoy. While continuing the drive, we noticed that one of the driver struggling. With the consultation of Marshall and sweeper we changed the convoy order. After crossing the gatch road the convoy moved to right side then left. There we got bigger dunes for side slopping.Driving level were slowly increased as drivers gained confidence. After the Initial struggle all drivers did well. There were two stuck and few second tries. Around 10.45 am the convoy safely exited from sands.
Many thanks Marshall Michael for your support and valuable instructions as usual. Thanks explorer Ian for agree to take one convoy and did well. Thanks Arun for solid second lead and Nanda for trusted sweeper.
See you again in sand
