@Ashwin0223, @Leon Haywood @Cesar Younes Welcome to Carnity. thanks for signing up for the drive on Friday. 

I understand you have, respectively a Hummer, Cherokee and Fortuner. Please confirm that you have good condition tow points front and back and that you have watched all the Carnity briefing videos before you join the drive. These are important. If you come 'cold' to the drive, you'll find it less enjoyable. 

Please also share a little mit of information about your 4x4 experience if any and reasons for wanting to learn. 

Looking forward to seeing you Friday.

Hello! I am a newbie. Would love to join this Friday with my Patrol y62 for my first drive. 

Do we need a flag and radio for this ride? I don’t see it in the list of things to bring while few other topics do mention them. Thanks.

@GD27 this is an Absolute Newbie drive which is perfect for you. Kindly go the the Calendar event and click on going. No need to bring a radio or flag for your first drive. We will share our spare radio for your first drive. The Y62 is an amazing ride, you'll love it even more in the desert.
