@Ale Vallecchi got some urgent thing tomorrow, apologies for the last minute drop.

Dear Desertnauts. First of all, find attached the meeting and deflation point on the drive's main thread (at the top of this page), and here: https://maps.app.goo.gl/kxr76FNchyMoFPuu8 Secondly, kindly remember to 1) reach the meeting point with a full tank, 2) make sure you have a flag, without which nobody is allowed to join the drive and 3) remember to bring a fully charged radio. The drive will be planned to allow each driver to practice, first alone then all together as a moving convoy, the main skills necessary to tackle a desert drive. Also, a thorough briefing will be conducted before we start the drive, to point out all the notions required to execute the drive safely. The convoy positions will be as follows: @J-P L in Second Lead @Shane Phillips at #3 @Nikhil Jethani at #4 @Jakob T at #5 @Lvc at #6 @DELRIO at #7 @Giacomo at Center @baris at #9 @Esteban Ayala at #10 @Nagarjun S at #11 @Artur Davtyan at #12 @Avilash at #13 @Asif Ahamed at #14 and @Yerem Davtyan in Sweep. Please reach the meeting point before 3:30 PM, so we may depart on time, after having deflated and held the briefing. See you tomorrow afternoon. have a nice evening.

@khurram, @Abdullah A., @Noufal, @Infaz, @Zulfikhar Naiyar Thank you all for joining the drive. It is very hot these days, so make sure that your vehicle is in tip top condition. We will be doing some very steep climbs from the start itself. We will start the drive immediately after we deflated and ready to go ~ 3:10 so please be ready by then. The briefing will be done from the comfort of the car. As mentioned, the drive should finish by 6:00 pm - I will end the drive near the shops so that they can inflate for us. we should be out by 6:30 pm. The convoy order as follows: Looper - Lead Abdullah A. Noufal khurramm Infaz Zulfikhar Naiyar See you all fresh tomorrow afternoon.

Thanks mate

Hey @ChrisW can you post a new link to the meeting point please. Google Maps is having issues opening it saying it’s “unsupported” … ???

Good morning @Shane Phillips..I.hope all is well. Kindly let me know about the above, so I can arrange the convoy also based on your inputs. Thanks for responding.

@Ale Vallecchi @Jerome @Jose Luis Campos @Steve Farmer @Giacomo @Steffi @Glenn W Hey guys - looking ahead to tomorrow afternoon, we have our 8 car convoy filled up as follows. We will be using CH10 (446.231-25). Let's aim to meet and be setup for 15:30 promptly if we can, and we'll get moving shortly thereafter. I am expecting high initial heat and soft sand - so set tyres and driving style accordingly! We will move east progressively from the meeting point, and we will have a mixture of rolling open dunes and tighter technical sections, as well as the salt rock area (which looks completely different from our usual desert drives). We will also pass the Nagrah dune, which if it's not too churned up or busy with dune bashers, we will move through as well. Goal will be to complete comfortably before sunset at a point on the E95. Meet point: https://maps.app.goo.gl/kDSLAmPqVzPwLTJB9?g_st=ic

Dear @Shane Phillips. Thanks a lot for joining the drive. A couple of things, as you are an Absolute Newby with Carnity. First, please make sure you have gone through the briefing video posted in the drive's thread. Secondly, can you please let me know if you have any previous experience with off-roading on sand? There will be an extended briefing before the drive begins, but any information you may share about your experience will be valuable. Looking forward to seeing you on Saturday. Have a nice evening.

Congratulations @Sandeep Padhi

@Kirill K I see you have signed up but you are not yet reached FB+ level. Request you to consider other drives in the FB level. Has anyone noticed the gaffe I made yet?

Congrats @Sandeep Padhi 🎉🎉

@_luke_ looking froward for some fun chasing your black Raptor 😁

Dear Andrew, Thank you! And thanks to all the team leads, Marshal’s and all those people who helped me in learning this art of offroad driving. It’s immense pleasure for me to go to the next level.

@_luke_ will love to join one evening drive . When is the next one scheduled? Hope to see you soon!!!

Well Done @Sandeep Padhi see you on Sunday morning!

@Ana looking forward to see you on a night time coffee drive something soon!

Best decals in the club! endless summer vibes 😁

Last night, I had this feeling that I should check in on Ishak, my Carnity Bro from Indo. He replied, "I just landed after a three-week vacation." Talk about a Carnity telepathic connection. 😄 What I love about the club is that it gives you a genuine sense of belonging without being over demanding or full of rules. Just keep your rig in good shape and your recovery gear ready—which is pretty much the minimum if you enjoy off-roading. Don’t be an A..hole. Again, super basic. I honestly think that's why Carnity has such a strong appeal for me. I'm really glad I joined and yes, I made many new Friends. And, I must admit —I’m addicted, like all of us 😄 @Frederic you are the best!
