Dear almosters,
This was a great surprise from
Solmaz and I was about to miss it ! You better be a master of the “click” to register into an intermediate drive on time these days…
While we nearly all reached on time and deflated under the scorching sun, we got announced during the briefing by
Solmaz that
Daggerfall will be leading the drive (!)
With
Carlos as second lead,
Abu Haider as sweeper,
Orlantsev as support and some older inter in the pack ; we were also extremely lucky to have
Solmaz, Abu Salem and Agalon on top of that as floating marshals!
The name of the drive says it all… I would just personally add Tyres into it (Mostly
Coopers… how surprising !!!!!

)… since we “destroyed” a lot of Tyres that day…

and it’s all started because of Bu Salem’s words who was referring to the morning pop out record to beat… a wish that definitely came true!
I honestly lost count of the numbers… but we changed a lot of Tyres and it all went mixed up since some marshals and members lent Tyres to each other’s. I know better understand why wrench tools is required for intermediate level… and you better get a good one

.
What was surprising is that, although we spent some time off working on these Tyres, it didn’t feel like the drive was that much scattered… indeed, at the beginning of the drive I felt that have been off for couple weeks since it took me some time to adjust my driving to feel “back in the game”.
However, despite all the rescues, It felt more like small breaks with some refreshing watermelon

(thanks to @
Mostafa). And what a drive… such an amazing feeling to be back on track switching these beautiful yummy crests and driving into these bigger bowls

. I got my shares of second trials (of course!)… terrain reading is definitely my next goal along with refining the rest of my skills.
I am enjoying the adrenaline of the speedy drives and higher dunes and I can’t wait to see and drive more !
A great thank you to all our marshals (Solmaz, Daggerfall, Abu Salem and Agalon) for your time, financial investment (it definitely is…) and support! As well as a big thank you to our advanced members (Carlos, Orlantsev, Abu Haider) for their support!
Take care and see you all very soon for more adventures !
Bisous
