Prefer newbie if possible, I have some guests coming in with me. If that is suitable. Hi @Tero Vallas. Thanks for informing me. Since we have divided the convoy, making one only with Newbies, and the other Fewbie and above, I'd rather not change it around. Nonetheless, I understand your request, so I have thought of placing you in an easy and relaxing convoy position. You'll but quite upfront (cleaner tracks) and you will not have recovery or other responsibilities, so you can just enjoy the drive. Kalahari and @Vanessa8580, will be supporting the convoy, so it should be a smooth and enjoyable one. Let me know if this satisfies you. Thanks a lot. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So let me start with the PROFESSOR @Thomas Varghese thank you very much for your kind request. I would love to satisfy it, but it'll have to be for another time. The way the 2 convoys have been designed is to have all Newbies in one, and the Fewbie and above in the other. As an Intermediate, you'll be in the second convoy, where support will be provided by a Marshal and an Extreme member who has completed the Leaders Lead course. It will surely be for another time, soon. See you tomorrow. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Ale Vallecchi Posted June 10, 2021 Author Popular Post Share Posted June 10, 2021 Dear Desertnauts, let's finalize tomorrow's drive. As you may have noticed from my previous posts, it seems this itinerary has been quite successful, so we have decided to: open it up to 2 convoys reserving Convoy A (mine) for Newbies (as this drive was originally destined to) shifting all the Fewbies and above, who had signed up or waitlisted, to Convoy B, which will be led by @Yousef Alimadadi provide a bonus drive for all Fewbies and above who wish to join it, if time allows, once the itinerary reaches the planned exit point (usually we limit Newbies drive to max 3 hours, so it's preferable not to extend their drive beyond this time limit). With this in mind, the following will be CONVOY A, led by myself: @Alfred Alinazar in Second Lead @Paolo Pellegrini #3 @Naim Aoun #4 @Abdul Rafay-S #5 @shu yang #6 @Veedooshee anchoring the convoy at Center Forward @Jamil Abou Assali #8 @Joseph Sebastian #9 @Luc Khaldoun #10 @Ivan Pironi #11, while @Mukundan Nair will Sweep the convoy. This convoy will line up on the RIGHT of the tarmac road, just past the Murqaab Mosque, and will tune the radios to Carnity Channel #2 (446.031). This is one of the more challenging areas for Newbie drives, especially the part going through Lisaili, so be ready to be fully concentrated, patient with yourselves and other drivers, in case of likely refusals and stuck, and willing to raise your off-roading skills to a higher (yet safe and achievable) level. CONVOY B, led by @Yousef Alimadadi, on the other hand will be composed as follows: @varunmehndiratta in Second Lead @Pierre de Maigret #3 @Adhir Saxena #4 @Alain Canivet-Abikhalil at #5 @Tero Vallas at #6 @Kalahari will anchor the convoy at Center Forward @Ehab at #8 @PaoloMaraziti at #9 @Thomas Varghese at #10 @Goutam at #11, and @Vanessa8580 covering the Sweeping position. This second convoy should line up on the LEFT side of the tarmac road, past Murqaab Mosque. Please make sure you are lined up on the correct side of the road, with your convoy, to minimize confusion and wastes of time before departure. The radio channel for the second convoy will be Carnity Channel #4 (446.081). Yousef and I will be in contact on a different radio channel from the ones used by the convoys, so that we can update each other with any situations about the respective convoys. All Fewbies and above will surely love this drive, in one of the more versatile areas of Dubai, with plenty of challenges, as well as opportunities to enjoy beautiful views, and relax (at times). Both convoys are planning to exit at the so called "Three Tree" 's location, just before the junction between the dirt track running along Lisaili's pylons, and the tarmac road joining Qudra's Last Exit with Solar Park. LOOKING FORWARD TO SEEING EVERYBODY, PUNCTUAL, AT 5:00 AM. Have a great end of the week. 8 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paolo Pellegrini Posted June 11, 2021 Share Posted June 11, 2021 For convoy A I posted some images here https://carnity.com/gallery/category/800-newbie-murquab-dubai-11-june-2021 Thank you @Ale Vallecchi for being a fantastic Marshal. A real "Lord of the Desert"! Thanks for the progressive complexity of the track, the clear security briefing, the stops to admire the life of the desert. Nothing more and nothing less than perfect. Thanks @Veedoosheefor being my guardian angel again. For these initial drives I'm always in the first part of the convoy (which I like it btw) and I now know you are watching over me Start to getting familiar with some of the club members which is great! @Alfred Alinazar @Naim Aoun @Abdul Rafay-S @shu yang @Jamil Abou Assali @Joseph Sebastian @Luc Khaldoun @Mukundan Nair and my brother @Ivan Pironi 4 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Naim Aoun Posted June 11, 2021 Share Posted June 11, 2021 A great ride indeed. @Ale Vallecchiis an amazing Marshal. Kept us rolling despite few hiccups, kept everyone safe and in check. Can't wait to join you all again. Thanks @Veedooshee for your clear instructions and guidance. I suggest a snack break at some point when the weather permits; to socialize a little more. 3 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
