Thank you so much everyone. Prepare your shovels and be ready for some extra support needed on my first Fewbie+ drives. A big thank you to the amazing Carnity leads, the fantastic support crew and my fellow off-roaders for making every drive fun and a great learning experience. See you in the sand soon. -

MUST READ AND COMPLY Environmental Policy Offroad Flag Guideline Two Way Radio Guideline Off road Driving Etiquette's Emergency details for all off-roaders Off Road Driving - Roles & Responsibilities First time with Carnity Off-road Club: Please share your vehicle details - Make, Model, Color, and Year. Do you have any prior off-road experience? If yes, pls share details. Confirm your vehicle has front and rear tow hooks/eyelets. Advise if you donโt have a programmable radio and safety flag. MUST WATCH: NEWBIE VIDEO BRIEFING Drive Details Level: Newbie and above Meeting time: 03:30 PM Meeting Point: TBC Action Plan: Beginner off roaders usually need to familiarize themselves with a few key maneuvers and skills, necessary to drive on sand (even if they have been off-roading on mixed and rocky terrains). These driving skills, at a minimum, are 1) straight crossing of dunes, 2) side sloping and 3) ridge riding (in this case it will be on wide, not dangerous, ridges). On top of these, we'll look into easy self-recovery maneuvers. Each of these skills will be presented, demonstrated and practiced, individually, by each member, so that they may leave the drive having gained a more in-depth knowledge of the essential elements of sand driving. Type of Car: Any proper 4x4 with front and back tow hooks and 8-10 inches of ground clearance. What to bring along: Loads of water, snacks, enthusiasm, and willingness to learn. Approximate finish time: 07:00 PM P.S. Only join if you have a compressor to inflate your tires after the drive. LIMITED SPOTS AVAILABLE: This drive is limited to 12 cars only. RSVP will close on Saturday at noon. If the RSVP is full, you can add your name to the waitlist. Once anyone drops, you will be moved to the RSVP list. RSVP will close a day prior to preparing a convoy list. Latecomers will be returned back - Without any exceptions. Members without RSVP will be returned back - Without any exceptions. Please withdraw your RSVP, if you aren't joining, so your spot can be taken by others. Repeated no-show members after RSVP will have their account suspended for a month. Please RSVP on below calendar
