Thanks for the great drive @Chaitanya D

I liked the pictures a lot and after all these

night drives doesn’t seem so bad with all the light around 😄

Angela I was wondering  how could “fly” in the dark without “red ball “ 😄 but after the nice snaps above it’s no wonder I guess 😅

Thank you @Chaitanya D for the lovely drive, @Danish Mohammad for being at 2nd lead, @MUHAMMAD Kashif RAZZAQ for the support at CF, @Alexander Alcala and @Foxtrot Oscar for ensuring the convoy stays together. Enjoyed everyones company and appreciate the patience everyone in the convoy had displayed during some stucks and pop-outs we had which is always fun and learning at this level. See you all soon in the sand.

[MUHAMMAD Kashif RAZZAQ]

First of all, Thanks to @Chaitanya D for hosting such a fabulous drive. You were an amazing lead as always; slowly bumping up the difficulty of the drive as we drove through the dunes made the drive a lot more fun and thrilling. 

@Danish Mohammad, You were a great 2nd Lead. You were able to reroute perfectly where required, and thanks for being a really active helping hand.

@Ahmed Mostafa It wont be long till you are a master of self-recoveries, especially when being guided by highly experienced Marshalls. You have great control over your car and it will only get better with experience.

@Miguel Codes@Morshedi@Ehab All of you had at least a Stage-1 wrangler, combined with your driving skills, no surprise that you guys managed to handle every challenge so well and kept moving throughout the drive.
@Morshedi You faced slight traction issues but as I told you, It was probably because of higher tire pressure, we run the same tires, I keep mine at 8 Psi at the rear and 9 Psi at the front which allows my Jeep to glide through sand. I suggest keeping your tire pressure at around 10 Psi next time, trust me it will be magical.

@Niekku@Pmaraziti@Ahmad Shaker@JeromeFJ@Abdul Rahman Abdul Kader Fantastic driving at the back, considering you all were able to keep up with the convoy without much hassle.

@Alexander Alcala@Foxtrot Oscar Thanks for sweeping the convoy and keeping everything in order, Great job.

I really enjoyed my first night drive and my first climb of Fossil rock! 

@Pmaraziti We climbed pink rock starting from Tawi Nazwa in Al Madam, Sharjah.  Next time be ready for fossil rock 😜 climb at night some time soon

[JeromeFJ]

Many thanks @Chaitanya D for the drive ! For my first night drive, climbing Pink Rock was great

Handling the car at night was sometimes frightening 😱, following the recoveries with the explanations of Angela @Foxtrot Oscar was very instructive. Thanks also @MUHAMMAD Kashif RAZZAQ and @Alexander Alcala for the support and guidance. Always there when needed !

 

[Morshedi]

Thank you @Chaitanya D @Alexander Alcala @Foxtrot Oscar

you guys are amazing

climbing the rock was fun, check this video with sound on 😁

@MUHAMMAD Kashif RAZZAQ absolutely right, when I changed the tires to 9 Psi, it was much much better, thank you

@Chaitanya D thank you for the trip, it was a slow pace trip but we enjoyed the pink rock climb. Thank you and @MUHAMMAD Kashif RAZZAQ for the advice on tires pressure, it worked perfectly.

Excellent video @Ehab. Absolutely loved every bit of it 

Drives with Carnity are always planned at different levels  and for a newbie level drive even if I or we have one car who needs time to learn everyone else irrespective of their levels have to come down to that particular members level for the whole bunch to get in and out safely with some good learning/adventure. 

I was very much impressed when I bumped up the level a bit after everyone made it to the pink rock with ease , and we headed towards Big red/Badayer when the drive became more interesting 😜.

See you soon, cheers
