That's a good idea and will start from the next trip. Thank you for the suggestion.
Marshals, can we take note of this and start instructions from the next trip please?

I did this 2-3 weeks ago with help from Urs, Avan and Yehia on a newbies trip in Khatim, everyone benefitted from the instruction, the hardest part was intentionally getting stuck
I will try and do this on all of the newbie trips when possible, it is the only way to learn.
Remember the old saying...............
To listen is to forget.
To see is to remember.
BUT to do is to understand

[quote="Mac"] the hardest part was intentionally getting stuck

I am not sure we need to intentionally get stuck. Normally this is solved by itself
I am not saying we need to get stuck all the time but when the opportunity comes and there is a stuck - Carpe Diem and call in the Newbie cavalry. Otherwise we can ask Adiga to take part as he is very good on intentional stucks. That man is a PRO.

Just to make it clear again, the upgrade is based on the following:
- Number of trips
- Activity on the website
- Adhering to instructions of the Marshals
- Following the rules of the trip
- Dedication to the club
- Recommendation of 4 Marshals based on their views about the driver, his skill, his confedence, his understanding to the risk involved in offroading and his control over the car on various situations.
So if you think that you have all this ask for an upgrade. Otherwise, wait and learn more it is for your safety and the safety of the others as well
How to get the marshal recommendations? Should be word to word or should be written? Or?

Well, nothing easier than that: If you want, I can PM you my bank account on Cayman Islands, a Ferrari Testarossa (1995) would be great or just book me a weekend in the Al Bustan in Muscat
Serious, the Marshals are continously monitoring the performance and behaviour of the members attending the trips. Based on this observations the recomendation will happen. But it is not like school teacher conference. It is like friends and family seeking the best for each other.
So don't worry Omar, I am watching you

Jo - I guess you need other tyres and a 20" liftkit to get to the BBQ-sites in that one
