    Thank you @Looper for another beautiful drive. The tremendous size of dunes of Sweihan are usually intimidating to new off roaders but all the 1st timers handled the challenges exceptionally well, kudos to all! It was a smooth flow throughout with some small refusals. Every refusal is a learning for all collectively and it was a great team effort. Good to meet new faces and glad to catch up with familiar ones. Thank you @J-P L for your calm guidance every time. @Gab - if you plan on continuing the hobby for long in your vehicle, try to switch to AT tyres. it'll definitely help with more traction on sand. Maybe plan for it during your next tyre change/renewal cycle. Majority prefer Geolandars G015 which you might find in the forums as well since they do the job well and are lightweight. you already seem to have ironman shocks - an upgrade from stock. In Carnity, we do not promote garages or unwanted mods for offroading. Its a beauty of this club that encourages offroading while being as stock as possible. The only mods required/recommended would be a skid plate and AT tyres. As you progress to higher levels, decent shocks (mainly to comfortably maintain momentum across cross-tracks and a bit of height for even better clearance) and ABS kill switch (to remove all electronics kicking in) would definitely help. That's all that's actually required.

    I typically don't drive for more than 2 hours, but yesterday it was different. We stopped a lot so that convoy can do a lot of sidees. To be honest, I sometimes forget how thrilling it used to be once up on a time. There was however a long recovery period and I must say @Natalia Guerrero you have shown tremendous grit and determination in overcoming that bowl. It took some effort, but I feel the sense of achievement you would have felt would have been more than compensated for the temporary setbacks. That is in essence is the off-roading story - know what you and your car cannot do, and do it anyway. @ZEESHAN MIRZA on your first drive you were fantastic, did not seem like you were there for the first time, except on the sidees. Remember, never do anything as a reaction to the situation. Everything has to be pre-determined and be ready for to change course, but it as to be active not reactive. We will always get a lot of chances to do everything we want to do many many times over. So, I often say in the briefings is that "Don't drive like it's your last one" A big Thank you to @J-P L for the tremendous support not only as a sensible second lead but also guiding the stuck cars with a patience I can only dream of. @Zulfikhar Naiyar you were superb as the center forward, anchoring the convoy in the middle and making sure everyone stayed safe. Some Photos my passenger took during our drive, they are shared in the gallery. Last but not the least, @MikeT, @Gab, @Igor Krezic, @Mohammad Javed, @Luis Acostamadiedo, @Mark J, @Taka & @Nikki1007 a big thank you for joining the drive. I hope you enjoyed the drive. Till next time, have a great one.

    Carnity Off-Road Club Drive Description Starting from Sweihan, we’ll point the convoy east and go hunting for the best terrain we can find on the way toward Nahel. Expect a mix of bowls, long ridgelines, power climbs and high switches, with plenty of opportunities to work the cars through bigger terrain while keeping the drive smooth and flowing. Somewhere along the way, we’ll find ourselves a suitably high dune, park up at the top and take a proper Coffee Club break with a view across the surrounding desert. After coffee, we’ll continue east and work our way toward the exit at Nahel Pumping Station. Big dunes, good views, and coffee in the middle of nowhere. Hard to complain. Camp chair is mandatory. No chair, no latte. 😎 And because it’s a school night… You’ll be home before midnight — assuming you live in Abu Dhabi. 🌙 🏁 Drive Details Level 🏁 Fewbie Plus and above Meeting Time 20:00 Meeting Point 📍 OPEN IN GOOGLE MAPS Coordinates: 24.403228, 55.377750 Radio Channel Channel 10 — 446.231 MHz Type of Car Any proper 4x4 with front and back tow hooks and 8–10 inches of ground clearance.

    It was a fantastic drive as always! Thank you so much, @Looper, @J-P L, and @Zulfikhar Naiyar, for all your content support. It was truly inspiring to see @Looper encouraging and supporting @Natalia Guerrero, helping her reach the top of the dune. And Natalia’s never-give-up attitude finally got her there! Such an amazing effort and a great example of teamwork and encouragement. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
