I was back home with half a tank 😂 Awesome crest and pull footage @M.Seidam, and it was a spooky crest as I was climbing and all of the sudden I hear something smashing on my car roof so I panicked and lost control on the top of the crest🤦♂️🤦♂️. @Dodi Syahdarthen took a look and found out that my camera got loose and was rolling on my roof left and right while I thought I was being attacked by eagles (angry birds style)😅🤪 3 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darren Brooke Posted May 15, 2021 Report Share Posted May 15, 2021 Thanks @Foxtrot Oscarfor stepping in to lead at the last minute as that was an absolutely fantastic not to be missed drive. Thanks @Nabil Bishara, @Dodi Syahdar and @M.Seidamfor your support and advice. Following the tracks in front is one thing, going off piste when there is a refusal in front and creating your own tracks is very different and as a result ended up getting myself into trouble 🤦♂️ - Still lots to learn Having driven with @Foxtrot Oscartwice she has now had to rescue me twice 😆 - Thank you so much again. Cant wait till the next drive 4 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt.T Posted May 15, 2021 Report Share Posted May 15, 2021 Great to see the sunrise against the red sand out there today and an enjoyable drive. Thanks @Wrangeld for the lead @Watteaufor running around in the middle and @Arman for sweeping up at the back. The clunking noise turns out to be wasted control arm bushes and sway bar bushes so could have been worse!! 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Foxtrot Oscar Posted May 15, 2021 Popular Post Report Share Posted May 15, 2021 Second Convoy Drive Report (once more nudging in ahead of @Wrangeld) It was just meant to be I guess, there was no reason for me to be awake at the ungodly hour of 4.30am but for some reason I was. When @Chaitanya D said he had car issues , I happily jumped in. Truth is, I love this area, it is the perfect fewbie training ground for the larger bowls that lay ahead as you advance through the Carnity ranks. We started off by finding our desert wheels in the smaller but super playable dunes at the start of the route with the entire convoy in sync. After a short while we were all treated to @Nabil Bishara lead. He took us all the way up and over Pink Rock, guiding everyone as he did so. Well done @Nabil Bishara, it was a great lead, you chose a really nice path for everyone to follow. Not one single car had a refusal at Pink Rock, the entire convoy making it at the first attempt. As you had all demonstrated how well you could handle your various cars, it provided me with the opportunity to increase the level, ever so slightly. 😈 We left Pink Rock and headed into the wonderful low start shaped dunes to the East en route to Big Red. Here were able to sweep up and around, in and out and up and over keeping a nice pace and perfecting some great off-road skills. Again, not one refusal as we tackled these dunes. We were even treated to the site of locals with parrots, I think, perched on stands. What an awesome shot that would have been, but we know locals are camera shy so we didn’t disturb them. As we left the area the dunes grew in size and we started to climb more and more, I think it was @Darren Brooke who had the first refusal of the day, never go off piste mate, just wait and I’ll guide you through. A quick pull and he was free of the crest. I looped around a few times gaining momentum to join the rest of the convoy who were at the other side of the dune. We were all following, or so I thought, when we had another crest. @Rawad Bahsas careful with your GoPro buddy 😆. Well done to @GauravSoni and @Dodi Syahdar for helping me out with that one, it was a weird angle, in a tight spot and the sand was super soft. As we made our way down, and around Big Red we met with @Wrangeld's convoy, and @M.Seidam got himself crested in the most spectacular fashion. Quick dig and he was free. We overtook @Wrangeld's convoy as one of the drivers was stuck. Wrangled was waiting in position for the next play area, and it would have been remiss of me not to tell him of the awful situation he had to deal with. 😇 Having secured our spot at the play area 😎 🤣we all took it in turns to climb up and down , before we allowed Wrangeld's convoy the opportunity. We plotted our way around Big Red, climbing up and coming down on the various areas as they presented themselves. As we moved on to the ‘Road Side’ side of Big Red we climbed all the way to the top where we met with another convoy, I’m not particularly sure they appreciated us barging in, but thems the breaks, they were playing in a bowl, we were sweeping the area. The convoy became disjointed at one point as @Miguel Codes lost the track, I headed back up and took them down with @Miguel Codesdoing a turn at 2nd lead , and a great job he did too. We had one more climb left in us with everyone handling it well and we were about to go again, but one of @Wrangeld's drivers had car issues, and with that , all good things came to an end. The convoy was led to the tarmac where they could inflate etc, and I went back to help out. I have to say I thought you all did brilliantly, and handled absolutely everything I threw at you. And I threw a lot at you! It was the first time I had driven with many of you. Honestly, thank you, you made it such an enjoyable morning! Well done @Miguel Codes @Werno @luis mantecon @Goutam @Ranjan Das @Darren Brooke @Rawad Bahsas @Malachy McGrogan. Bravo! Great driving. Thank you thank you thank you for the great support from @Nabil Bishara, @M.Seidam @GauravSoni @Dodi Syahdar Until our next adventure ☺️ 8 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolutely, that's why I jumped in to replace @Jeepie who had car issues too. Lucky you , always an Angel (Angela) when needed @Foxtrot Oscar. Thanks for keeping everyone entertained, congratulations @Nabil Bishara the silent dunemaster 🚙 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
