strong wind and dust so far. I actually prefer to know beforehand if it will be cancelled or not before going there

@Alex Sidorov @Waleed Soliman we might start the drive bit late depending on the weather to clear but drive will not be cancelled.

[Alex Sidorov]

So how do we do?

Last time it did not clear till 9 or 10.

At what time should we aim to start?

Would not be much fun to arrive 7 and wait for 2-3 hours:)

welcome to Carnity Offroad club

Kindly reply with a small introduction:

• Which 4x4 are you driving/bringing to drive ?
• Any prior offroading experience ? If so please specify.
• Does your vehicle have front and back tow points and are they in perfect condition ?

As a perfect preparation for your first drive with us, please go through the Absolute Newbie Briefing video posted below which really helps in getting you to understand the first basic essentials, so please watch it with full attention:

MUST WATCH: NEWBIE VIDEO BRIEFING

For your first drive, please bring a tire pressure gauge and a deflator so you can deflate your tires. These are readily available in ACE Hardware, Apex Hardware, Adventure HQ or tire shops and hardware shops near you.

If you do have offroad gear such as a flag, shovel, recovery rope or others, please bring it along as well.

If you have a UHF Radio you can bring it along, and program it to the Carnity Frequencies as per the below post. If you don't have radio we will provide spare radio to use. From the second drive onward you need to get your own radio.
