In the morning 31 cars arrived to the meeting point, within them 7 almost4x4 off-road club marshals and some intermediate and advanced drivers, who love to be always in the convoy.
After brief trip introduction we drove to the desert starting point, we deflated and explained newbies some driving techniques using mods loaded 4x4 toy car. Driving towards Fossil Rock, some cars had issues with terrain and overheating and this challenging steep climbing. Steep drive around Fossil Rock was for many new members a great excitement, where Marshals explained in practice the importance of real tyre pressure.
Again the powdering sand prepared some unpleasant situation to rescue team, where both the member and rescuer were suffering a lot from extreme heat. Hectolitres of liquids were drunk in any free moment, as the driver got his hands free.
At Camel Rock dunes everybody did very well to learn the right sense of decision making and choosing the right way to cross various types of dunes.
From Camel Rock towards Al Fayah appeared to be relaxing track driving, in this stunning desert area.
We reached there around noon, bringing all drivers safely to the main road.
All newbies, we hope that you enjoyed the trip and we met your expectations. You are free to express your opinion on the trip in this thread.
In the name of all marshals we, thank you very much for joining us !
Congratulations the first star, achieved by:
Naser, Jmehul, Taha, Surf, Blaze and amazing lady driver Genicabre
