Welcome to Carnity Offroad Club @Maria Rodas ! 

I am delighted to see husband and wife both hitting the sand and starting the adventure. No doubt that @Daniel Rodas now comes home with lots of stories and sand in his socks. Soon you will be doing the same :)

To get you accustomed to the basics, please watch the Absolute Newbie video briefing a few times this week, this will serve as a good preparation and introduction to what you can expect. 

 

MUST WATCH: NEWBIE VIDEO BRIEFING

 
If you have any questions in the meantime, you can use this drive topic to ask them.
 
See you on Friday !

Hi @Mohamed Aashiq Salahudeen

I noticed that you have completed already 1 Newbie drive in Sweihan last week. So that makes you a Newbie. The Absolute Newbie level drive is only for first joiners to the club, so kindly remove your RSVP and sign up for any of the available Newbie drives this weekend.

 

Thanks !

Good morning @Gaurav& @Frederic, thanks for the welcome!

is there a chance to organize a Saturday Absolute newbie drive? As I am mainly available on Saturdays. Please….

I have driven before with other groups and the next drive will be my 4th drive. I think I’ll benefit more on the structured way of learning as those 3 drives I’ve had, conquered Pyramid and pink rock in Badayer.

Looking forward for your advice.

Many thanks

Hi @JAISROCK, welcome to Carnity Offroad Club !

The Absolute Newbie drive is only on Fridays for now. Once you have completed this one, you can signup for a Newbie drive. At the end of that Newbie drive you can also submit a request for promotion to Fewbie level, with details of your previous 5 drives so we can take those into account.
