08 February 2013 – Newbie Friday Morning Drive

First of all my sincere thanks to all the participants for joining this wonderful drive and successfully completing it even we chose the track above the learner level.

All the participants reach at the meeting point on time except the lead due to some health issues. But our own Khalil took in charge to lead the convoy to the meeting point on scheduled time and the lead joined with them at the starting point. All the initial briefing and guidance given at the meeting point by our Chairman Ahmed Pervez and Khalil, therefore we could start the drive immediately after the deflation.

I am sorry for David to returning him from starting point due to some mechanical issue with his Jeep. He brought his Jeep this time instead of Fortuner. This is JEEP thing nobody can understand.

We decided to keep all the cars in a single convoy and we planned the convoy in such a manner. We divided the responsibility to oversee the convoy among Firoz, Musbah, Khalil and Ahmed Bhai which they fulfilled without any laps. We never felt that the convoy was not moving or slow or something like that. Being a learner trip the first section was measuring the participants where everybody performed beyond the expectation. So I decided to take them through the Devils Plunge, I think everybody enjoyed it. After that we drove through small dunes to get tuned for the next level. In this stretch we had a small mechanical issue with one of our participant car then we decided to drive him back to the tarmac through the track. Ahmed Bhai aborted the drive and lead him to the nearest exit and return to the end point and waited for the convoy to reach there.

So here is the game started. Being a Learner Drive some of the participants was facing difficulty to cope with the terrain. However they made it. After carefully chosen track everybody could make it top of the saddle point except four participants due to one pop out with one of them. It was a very pleasure moment to see the smiling face of the participant who could reach the top of saddle Point. I could see that in their face, that they look like achieved something. Due to short of time to attend the Jumaa Prayer some members left to tarmac and the rest wait for the pop out fixing team. Once they fix the pop out, Khalil decided to take them through the track to the tarmac. Once we saw them passing below the Saddle Point we decided to drive down and exit to the tarmac.

Overall it was a wonderful drive. Everybody drove well and maintained well convoy discipline. I enjoyed it thoroughly and hope you all did so.

Once again Thank you all for joining this drive and special thanks to Ahmed Bhai, Khalil, Musbah and Firoz for your support.

See you all for the next one…..
