Gregory Perkin Posted June 1, 2020 Report Share Posted June 1, 2020 Have a great drive out everybody. I'm not able to attend any drives this week as I'm on a 14-day post-flight self-quarantine. Such a shame, but I'll be thinking of you all. Enjoy 🏜 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Frederic Posted June 4, 2020 Author Popular Post Report Share Posted June 4, 2020 RSVP is now Closed. Please find your convoy number below. Radio frequency will be: Carnity Channel 1: 446.00625 Mhz. Please make sure your radio is charged and set to this frequency when you arrive at the deflation point. Keep your distance when deflating and do not "gather" upon arrival. Deflate your vehicle and step back in the car so we can convey the briefing over the radio. Whenever you need help to deflate, announce on the radio and a senior or marshal will come to assist. Make sure you have a deflator, flag, and your radio. We will be ending nearby the gas station, so a compressor is optional. See you tomorrow ! @Anish S @Pickey Singh @Mels Wolf @Jose Martin @RohanH @Incognitoes @Jeepie @Nizam Deen @Foxtrot Oscar @Nacho @Brette 1 1 5 3 "Go as far as you can see; once you get there, you'll be able to see further."

Mels Wolf Posted June 4, 2020 Report Share Posted June 4, 2020 @Frederic great effort making a drive starting with almost only Pajeros looking forward to a nice but slightly challenging route! As seen in the other thread we can now almost have dedicated Pajero and Xterra drives Hahahahah 3 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Wrangeld Posted June 5, 2020 Popular Post Report Share Posted June 5, 2020 To me, one of the signs we might be getting back to some sense of normality is that Carnity drives are back. You know that with @Frederic in the lead it will always be well organized and planned so that there are enough challenges, opportunities to learn and fun. With @Brette sweeping and @Jeepie as centre forward it was nice to have the opportunity to sit as a passenger again. I hope it's not a boring refrain, but watching while not driving is a priveleged position to watch what's going on and step in where needed. In the early morning pre summer heat we were all on time, with flags and deflating to get moving nice and early. A good thing too with temperatures rising fast. It did at times feel like the rest of us were intruding on a Pajero love in, with so many on the drive. Admittedly there were also quite a lot of jeeps too ... but we like to keep a lower profile 😂 I am not sure if this was @Anish S first experience as second lead. He drove with caution and attention, knowing that the convoy was following. Perhaps it was with that in mind he needed the first recovery as he crested on an early dune. With a quick tug we were off again and finding the dunes looking more like a Dutch seaside panorama than Arabian desert. It makes for quite a bumpy ride as a passenger! We benefited on the drive from a few Fewbies, always on hand to help if others in the convoy found themselves in trouble. @Mels Wolf @Foxtrot Oscar and @Nacho let their experience shine through and I am sure that being able to watch them gives other drivers confidendde they can make it through. @Nizam Deen found the going tough from time to time and @Pickey Singh drove with customary caution as we made it to a completely pristine play area for the first stop of the morning. It was great to see so many people testing their skills on this wide dune and everyone acquitted themselves very well. The next challenge was the technical dunes leading to the base of Fossil Rock. All the newbies @RohanH @Jose Martin and in particular @Incognitoes handled the challenges amazingly well and everyone made it to the top of the rock without any problem. @Frederic had a new challenge for today which was to descend through the soft sand on the back of the rock, rather than take the direct descent, and it did prove challenging for quite a few. Everyone acquitted themselves well, in particular one amazing self recovery by @Incognitoes. Both myself and @Jeepie were really impressed with this first drive ... we think the truth is you've been out playing before 😁 With more technical dunes to overcome there was a moment to rest again as we had to dig out another stuck. Once that was sorted we slowly continued to the exit and reflation point. A big change for Carnity due to COVID is that we can no longer chat at the end of a drive, and i really miss it. It is a big part of why Carnity is such a great club, but as times dictate, we said our quick goodbyes and made our way onwards. Thanks to @Frederic @Brette and @Jeepie for keeping everyone else moving and managing the drive perfectly. Thanks to everyone else for your contributions to another great drive. See you soon in the sand. 1 1 2 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
