Thank you Ahmed for arranging this trip. Since there was around 20 newbies and decided to have two convoys.
My trip report is for the second convoy with below drivers,
Isham/Shaju (Lead)
Pascal Millot (2nd lead)
Erick
Surya were
Arun
John
Vaughan
Glenn
Abraham (sweeper)
Chris (advance)
Fawzi(advance)

Marshal Isham, the marshal support to Ahmed before his marshal upgrade declaration took the second convoy. But he let me do the briefing and do a part lead. Big thanks to marshal Isham for letting me do the briefing and part lead.
Since it was a big convoy we started with easy tracks on the right side of the gutch road. After warm up we crossed the gutch road to play in open area where there was some medium dunes. We did as many as possible straight cresting and some small side slopes. We tried to avoid more technical areas. We extended 30 minutes more and finished by 12 pm. All did very well.

We had some second tries and some simple stucks including mine and one pop out of advance driver Fawzi. Marshal Isham led us to the inflation point near water tank.
Pascal was excellent as second lead and can apply for upgrade. Abraham done his duty as a sweeper. Had an excellent support from Chris who joined this trip after canceling an advance drive. Appreciate his commitment and dedication to club. Had good support from fawzi as well. Marshal Isham spread his wings on all of us to keep the convoy moving safely.

A very well lead Shaju Bhai....interesting track and all did very well...Well explained the track during briefing and does and don'ts for the same.... I hope all enjoyed the drive and Thanks to Marshall Isham for all guidance and Fawzi for the support.

It was a great group and drive and experience to help on the pop out. Thank you Marshall Isham and all those who supported the drive. See you all on the next trip

Thank you Shaju and Isham for a great trip and lead. This was an interesting trip with good learning experience with recoveries and one pop out.
See you all soon on the next trip, looking forward to that

I know Shaju very well, so I gave him the opportunity to lead. He chose an excellent track, he took the exact terrain upon which a newbie could drive. He did some great technical teaching to the newbies.

Chris, thank you for joining this trip and for supporting the team.

Pascal- Excellent work as second lead

Abraham- Excellent work as sweeper

Fawzi- Thank you for your support

See you guys soon
