Do not forget to wear your adventurer's hat, as we still know very little about what we'll find in this "Sand to Mountain" drive. There are numerous trails that we'll try to follow, with occasional detours in the open terrain. Occasionally, I may have to stop the convoy and exit the car to evaluate the best route. We may either be satisfied with what we find, or disappointed, and never think of driving here again. In any case, a certain degree of uncertainty awaits us. We are planning to exit around 10:30/11:00. Our convoy order will be the following: @Islam Solimanwill take Second Lead position @Syed Raza Hussain will start at #3 @Rizwan Waheed will start at #4 @Abu Muhammad will be #5 @Senthil Kumar will drive at #6 @asifk will be Center Forward @Dagdag Sofiane will be #8 @Tero Vallas is going to be #9 @Rizwanm2 will take #10 @Biju Abdul is driving at #11, and @Chaitanya D will Sweep the convoy. The meeting and deflation point is just off a small tarmac road, to the right of the main highway, leading from E611 toward Al Ghail. As there have been road works in the area, make sure you follow the signs to the new Ritz Carlton Al Wadi Desert Resort (the meeting point is on the road leading to it) Upon arrival please tune in to Carnity Channel 2 (446.031). Make sure you arrive with as full a tank as possible, and with all the necessary gear for this driving level. Besides the compressor, this means having at least a good shovel, and possibly a kinetic recovery rope (not yet mandatory as Fewbies, but recommended) Looking forward to seeing you Saturday morning, I wish you a nice start of the weekend. Can I still join I asked earlier but didn't get any reply 😁 Thank you 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mukundan Nair Posted October 23, 2020 Report Share Posted October 23, 2020 @Ale Vallecchi Thank you so much for the acceptance. I’m afraid I won’t be able to make it for tomorrow. Since no drop out were there lost my hope and planned for something else. Hope to join your drive going forward. Thanks 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Rizwanm2 Posted October 24, 2020 Popular Post Report Share Posted October 24, 2020 (edited) Wow... What an exceptional drive it was today morning. The terrain we tried today was totally different to what I have experienced so far with all other carnity drives. Thank you very much @Ale Vallecchi for a wonderful lead today morning. As drive post reads the exploration is what we did today. I recommend everyone to try this terrain at least once to have a different kind of flavor to their offroad experience. The first part of the drive through abundant vegetation, farms and camels was very smooth. Most of the time we drove on some tracks made by locals maybe to their farms. There were lot of breath taking views along this tracks and I hope everyone enjoyed view as much as I did. After about 2 hours continues drive we stopped around a tree in middle of valley to take a quick photo and drone break. After quick break drove about an hour and reached a tarmac where we were adviced to take down our flags until we crossed the road and reach our next entry point were it was headed to the black mountains. The terrain here was totally different to the first half of the drive. Sand was supper soft until we reach black mountain. There was couple of refusals, almost everyone was able to self recover at all the instances. The only time we had to take out the rope was to recover the big GMC crested on top of a very soft patch of sand. But rope recovery was not successful and finally showeling did the work to get out big GMC out of the crest. @Islam Soliman you are great as second lead today. I think you were precisely did what a lead want to you to do by rerouting and holding the convoy as and when its nessesary. Thank you very much for @asifk and @Wrangeld for your support as CF and sweep position and keeping us safe and moving forward effortlessly. Until next time keep safe!!
