Hi @Lvc Great to see you are enjoying the experience! We don't do specific group drives apart from the club-organized club drives, but we have Newbie level drives on most weekends, so they can perhaps sign up and you can all sign up for the same Newbie level drive. Of course it depends if you are talking about 2-3 colleagues or 15-20 colleagues 😁. Anyways, if they have a 4x4, some basic offroad tools like you purchased, they are good to go if they signup. If you guys are together on the same drive it will be a very cool experience for all of you!

Thanks for organizing this trip @Mark B. @Ash S. @Glenn W and @Giacomo for your support and pulling me back from top of the dune. It was great fun, especially climbing at Nagrah dune from both sides. Nagrah climb: https://www.instagram.com/reel/DbSqTsaI7AW/?igsh=MWZqaDRudTYxYTNpag==

Congratulations @Infaz!

Hi Desertnauts / Team Carnity, First of all, a huge thank you to everyone who organized and supported the recent Newbie Drive. As a complete beginner, I couldn't have asked for a better first experience. The briefing, guidance, and patience from the marshals and experienced drivers made me feel confident throughout the drive. I absolutely loved it! The adrenaline rush of driving through the dunes was incredible😤, and I can't wait to join many more drives with the community. Not sure if I can post here about below query, kinda new here.😁 After sharing my experience, a few of my colleagues have become really interested in trying desert driving too. We'd love to join together as a group if possible. I was wondering if the club ever organizes corporate or private group newbie sessions, or if there's a way for a group of friends/colleagues to participate in the same introductory drive. Looking forward to hearing your thoughts, and once again, thank you for such an amazing first desert driving experience!

Well Done @Kishor, enjoy the new challenges and faster pace. See you in the sand soon.

Congratulations @Infaz, well done 👍😎

Congratulations @Infaz, always knew you would get to this level! Enjoy the new challenges and all the new learnings.

Congratulations @Infaz, well done! Enjoy the new level and see you soon on the sand!!

Congratulations @Kishor. Happy that you are enjoying the drive and your new car as well. Super proud of you.

Thank you so much, Fred! A big thank you to all the marshals and the amazing support team for your guidance, patience, and encouragement throughout the journey. Looking forward to many more drives, new adventures, and continuing to learn while supporting the club wherever I can!
