hi Looper,

My car is a Baic BJ40C, black colour, mounted K03 285/70/17 - 4H - 4L - diff lock front and back

Experience:

- good level in mud / rocks - extremely limited experience in soft sand.

- 2 times out in the desert (Al Qudra), and still adapting to my new car. Quite a change, in my country I used rather to drive turbo-diesels, or more powerfull fuel models.

I Confirm having read all and having all equipment mentionned.

Let me know if needed more info.

Welcome to the club @Stephan Guglieri!

The main advantage from driving in sand is that it's less messy compared with mud and softer than rocks as well 😁!

I am sure you will enjoy. It's all about momentum and flotation. See you soon in the sand!

Good morning everyone.

I will be stepping in to lead this drive on behalf of Looper. We will be following his intended drive plan and the meeting point remains unchanged.

The convoy order will be posted Saturday morning and I'm looking forward to seeing you all at 3 pm, deflated and ready for the briefing.

Welcome to Carnity @Stephan Guglieri. Looking forward to meeting you. The Lisali area is perfect for new drivers getting used to their vehicles. It'll be fun.

Hi @Emanuel, looking forward to the drive tomorrow!

I will be driving an unmodified Tahoe, and will try to save the bumpers. Hence, please, put me somewhere in the back of the convoy, please as I will be approaching dunes and climbed very slow :-)

thank you!

Hi @Emanuel and All,

Apologies, I arrived back from Houston last night and the jet lag messed me up. I saw my addition from the waitlist a little too late and couldn’t make it.

I hope you are all having fun and I’m looking forward to making it to the next newbie drive.

POST DRIVE REPORT

A big thank you to everyone for being on time despite the construction delays on E311 northbound before the E66 exit, which affected some members of the convoy.

As planned, we set off shortly after the briefing, which was co-hosted by our newest Advisor and Lead-in-Training, @Frans M. Thank you, Frans, for the fantastic support as Centre Forward, helping manage one stuck and a few refusals throughout the drive.

A special thanks as well to @JC_E for taking the Second Lead position and for assisting with the recovery of the Toyota Prado. Your support was greatly appreciated, as was the excellent spacing you maintained behind the lead vehicle, which allowed flexibility when making route adjustments.

Thank you to @Mei Ling for the excellent radio communication from the back of the convoy, keeping everyone informed and connected throughout the drive.

As planned, we entered the beautiful Lisaili area and headed towards the patch of longitudinal dunes. It took us some time to reach the area as several very new drivers were still getting accustomed to driving on sand and learning the characteristics of their vehicles. However, it was encouraging to see noticeable improvements in both confidence and vehicle control as the drive progressed and we gradually introduced some slightly more challenging terrain.

After a well-deserved break, we made our way back towards the exit point while continuing to enjoy the scenery that makes this part of the Dubai desert so special.

A special congratulations to our newest club member, @Stephan Guglieri, on successfully completing his first drive with Carnity. Well done also to @Pierre-andre Nutteand @Nagarjun S. There were a few learning opportunities along the way, but all of you showed good progress and a positive attitude throughout the morning.

I'm glad to hear that everyone enjoyed the stunning landscapes and unique character of this beautiful section of the Dubai desert.

Our track together is below. A distance of 27 kms covered is good for a Newbie drive and we had some good elevation profiles, meaning we had some good NB level hill climbs and descents to practice with.

Enjoy the rest of your weekend, and I look forward to seeing you all on the sand again soon!
