COVID 19 Compliant - Thursday Night New Moon Adventures - Newbie Drive - Pink Rock - Sharjah - 27 May 2021

[Srikumar]

Night Drives add a whole new dimension to offroading where you have only the lights of your vehicle to guide you and the sound of cars in front to assist. This Thursday night is practically a New Moon, and that means that that we would be driving in complete darkness. Be prepared to challenge yourself in a fun paced Night Drive through the beautiful sands of Bidayer. 

Depending on the member participation the level of the drive would be bumped from Newbie to Fewbie.

This drive is organized in full compliance with the COVID19 guidelines. We expect every member that joins this drive to go through below information and and strictly follow these guidelines in order not to jeopardize someone's health, and to ensure we can keep organizing these drives safely.

Two Way Radio Guidelines

• We will not share spare radios or program your radio on the drive. If you need assistance in programming the radio, post a topic on the Carnity website with your questions and we will help you out. 
• Make sure your radio is fully charged. It will be your only way of communication while driving.
• Before buying, please carefully read below advice so you are informed properly on which model / cost / shops...

Do we need to have any special lights added or just the regular headlights will do ?

Regular headlights would be fine as long as the High Beam is working

@Srikumar and @Gaurav, I will make an exit from this drive as I have secured a slot in tomorrow's Intermediate drive with @Lorenzo Candelpergher. I wanted to meet you both but may be next time.

A drive under the moon light 

what a pleasant drive one can experience under the full moon light , tingling senses and eye pupils half dilated appreciating the faded semi dark out line of pink rock while climbing it , amazing tranquil !

Every one suited up ready for the night dance under the 🌕.the tumble hit up and down between bounce and dance with intervals of pause for break and breath so along we knew some secrets and tips of how to synchronise elegantly and safely in the dark.

It was a night drive that luckily I didn’t miss and I hope we do more of it as the summer heat is pushing us toward being becoming nocturnal drivers at least this season 🤣

thank you @Srikumar and @Gaurav for this fantastic drive as well as for all the tips and help along 🙏 it’s being my great pleasure driving with both of you .

My thanks extend to @Rizwanm2 for his brilliant second lead on the stage 😉Also it goes with pleasure to @MUHAMMAD Kashif RAZZAQ and @Gaurav Sonifor their active assistance when ever was needed @Danish Mohammad@Taufique Surve
@Dwain Fernandes @Badar Tariq @shu yang great “no rope “ drive and fantastic self recoveries with or without the shovel . Keep it i up !

@Abdul Rahman AK you missed the dance , but sure not the full moon as we hope many summer nights are yet to enjoy 😉
