Morning Newbie Desert Drive - Al Qudra to Lisaili Mighty Dunes - Dubai - 2 Oct 2021


Lorenzo Candelpergher

Recommended Posts

Drive Brief

The stretch of desert between Al Qudra and Lisaili offers infinite possibilities for desert off-roaders, ranging from small, super-technical dunes to long range, almost endless ridges. This drive will offer a taste of all these terrains at Newbie level, alternating more challenging technical stints to faster and more "driven" ones, enjoying the prevailing long range dune formations. There is however a specific place, where dunes become so high and so big that they well deserve to be named the "Mighty Lisaili Dunes". A majestic conformation which will be the perfect playground for practicing some easy climbs combined with nice slide slopes, the gran finale for this drive, which will end at Lisaili Camel Racing track.

Dear Desert Wanderers,

we have a fully booked RSVP for Saturday's drive. 

For the time being, the following drivers are confirmed: @Felix Obst, @Fabien Monleau, @Sanjay Malik. @Algin Varghese, @Mohammed Mansoor. @Serafino, @hasan hamadeh, @Alexanderrr, @jeetu sharma, @Joseph Raju.

@Waqar.S, as said, you are waitlisted for your 2nd drive in the weekend, subject to successful completion of the absolute newbie drive on Friday with @Brette's convoy. At the moment the RSVP is full, so you will be granted access to this drive only in case someone drops out before Saturday. Also, I have removed you from the "Manage" tab, as this is an option only for the @Carnity Team members, who support the Drive Lead: in our case we will have @Jeepie supporting this drive on Saturday.

If you have any questions or doubts about the upcoming drive, your car, the basic gear, or anything else, please do not hesitate to post them here so you can have your answers and be better prepared for our next adventure!

Have a nice week and see you on the sand next Saturday !!

Dear @Adhir Saxena, you are waitlisted.

Dear @Joseph Raju, can you confirm you have replaced your ballpoint hitch with an appropriate tow point, as discussed with @Ale Vallecchi in the occasion of your Absolute Newbie Drive?

Hi @Lorenzo Candelpergher sorry for the late reply

As per schedule mine vehicle work should be finished today but unfortunately the ordered pintle hook still not arrived 

The vehicle work May complete only on Saturday or Sunday

So I can’t attend the newbie drive on Saturday morning

Dear @Joseph Raju, sorry to hear the unfortunate news.

It is however the right decision to wait for your tow point to be in order. It is important for your safety and for that of those who may have to recover your car from a stuck. We'll done. 

See you next time.. Luckily the desert isn't going away any time soon 😂😂

@Adhir Saxena, in light of the latest development, you are admitted to the RSVP. Can you pls confirm whether you still intend to join?
