See you guys tonight, please try and bring 1 or 2 bundles of wood per car if possible.
Looking forward to this! Been a while with our Night Marshall 😉
Hopefully will be able to make it!
quote Renegade2014:Back from Vacation, back to work and def. back into the desert! Glad to be back and join again! 🙂Welcome back Sir! :drive:
Yes anwar you can bring your family along
quote matthewficco:Friday’s drive was a very smooth and quick paced event for the intermediate convoy :drive: . Yohan was leading the way and Avinash/Abdalla and I were sweeping with assistance as needed. We did have a rather tricky and technical recovery right out of the gate. Abdarrahman, as he pointed out, saw his Patrol stuck and sloping precariously on a small dune :-SS . Trying to self-recover only ended up digging the tires in deeper. After digging much of the sand away from the downward tires, Avinash was able to pull him free with a couple of reverse tugs and finally a couple of foward tugs. Feeling a bit worked as described above, Abdallah drove Abdarrahman back to the starting point. Glad to hear you finally regained your strength and felt better :-BD . Don’t be discouraged from this and we will look forward to seeing you back out in the dunes shortly (with food in your stomach, of course ~O) ). Carrying on from this, we had a great ride that saw our small convoy zipping up, on top, over, and down dunes of various sizes and shapes :drive: . Yohan, our fearless leader, had everyone chasing him in his zippy pajero as he wound its engine fast and far up the dunes \M/ . We took a couple of breaks throughout the trip to enjoy the setting sun, vast sea of dunes, and friendly chit-chat. Many areas of our trip saw us cross paths with several other convoys and safari cars. Tracks criss-crossed all over the desert and at some points caused havoc for us to decipher, which tracks we should be following. Towards the end of the trip I was gifted with a pop-out, which took a bit of wind out of the sails but we were able to quickly fix it after using 1, 2, and finally a third trolly jack to get my Prado lifted. Thanks, Abdalla, Avinash, and Yohan for the hand getting that sorted :thanks: . As the sun began to fully set, we headed to our destination arriving at the Badayer shops from the backside of Big Red. We had a bit of talk to recollect the great ride and fill up our tires. Thanks for great ride, Yohan and to Avinash and Abdalla for the steady hand of assistance when needed. :thanks: :thanks:While we were having small talk before heading home, Yohan received a call from Joe/Saif to say that the newbie convoy was still several kilometers from their exit point in the dunes. As night had already fallen, the challenges of getting out had risen. Avinash, Abdalla, and I all jumped in Avinash’s car to head out to find them and assist in driving to the exit point. Abdalla did a fabulous job at the wheel to navigate the night dunes :drive: and after about 10 or 15 minutes we met up with the newbie convoy :yesss: . We all continued towards the exit point together with a few small recoveries here and there. I know it was Dan’s/Marine’s and Shahid’s first time in the desert yesterday so you guys gets bonus points for doing a night drive on your first time in the desert. :ymapplause: :ymapplause: ^:)^ ^:)^
It was another great DO ride and glad to hear everyone is safe and sound and probably still dreaming of turns up and down the dunes with sand flying over your wind screen. 😀 😀
Until the next one!!
