Carnity's Christmas Gift to the Desert Drive - Desert Clean Up Drive - 25 Dec 2021


Wrangeld

Recommended Posts

It's Christmas, and whether you celebrate it or not it's a great excuse to give something back to the wonderful desert that we enjoy week after week - and based on the disgusting rubbish that we have seen during recent drives it's needed. 

Our objective is to drive into the desert and search around for and clean up as much rubbish as we can find - saving the wildlife, fauna and flora that we all want to continue enjoying. 

Specific Information:

  • We will be entering the Qudra Dunes with the specific intention of cleaning up the Desert. 
  • Please make sure you bring your own garbage bags, rakes, gloves or what ever else you think you might need to clean up.
  • Bring more passengers to help with our objective, clear out the baggage area and make sure you have as much space as possible to carry out the rubbish that we find. 
  • We will be driving into the Desert and you will need to deflate as we will need to find the worst areas of rubbish. 
  • We will drive a little in the desert - starting at Bab Al Shams with the plan to get back to Last Exit means we will get our tires sandy, at least.

You guys are complete troopers. Thanks for signing up for probably one of the most important drives of the year. Where Carnity members look at the disgusting state of the desert we drive in and do something about it. 

I truly hope there will be more like minded souls that understand that the timing was designed to allow for Xmas morning excitement (late start) and allow the day to not be totally taken up by this activity (out by 11am) but if not, we will clean up as much as we can and know that we earned our Xmas lunch.

I promise that there will be some desert driving, it cannot all be work and no play - but the hope is we can clean at least a small part of the disgusting detritus left by the people coming to the desert. 

Your manage team @Ale Vallecchi, @Alex Raptor and @Dodi Syahdar

will also be trying our best to create some festive cheer for everyone on the drive.

Disgusting Desert Dutiful Deliverancers

Thank you for offering your time and energy to clean up our wonderful desert tomorrow. 
 
How will we manage this? Our convoy will be as follows: 
 
  1. Wrangeld
  2. Looper
  3. Nabil Jamil
  4. Zeeshan Patel
  5. Armand
  6. Anton Dimov
  7. Dodi Syadhar
  8. Khurram. K
  9. Aisha. S
  10. Ahmad Salama
  11. Topgear
  12. Alex Raptor SW
  13. Ale Vallecchi FSW

Starting at Bab Al Shams, we will make our way in the direction of Last Exit. I expect that the experienced drivers (highlighted in the list) can act as support for the less experienced, showing them excellent drive lines and helping them in recoveries where the seniors (underlined) are not there. 

When we find some spot where disgusting levels of rubbish have been left, we will stop and as a group clear up, take the rubbish out of that spot and move on. 

There will be some fun driving - don't be worried about that, but we will be searching for rubbish, so think of the drive like an exploration.  

Because it's Xmas day, we plan to exit by 11, so everyone that wants can get home in time for any festivities. 

See you soon in the sand.

I’m very sorry I won’t be able to make it. I’m very worn out.  

Would’ve loved to be there
