Vanessa8580 Posted January 7, 2023 Report Share Posted January 7, 2023 Let's aim to cross the Liwa Crescent from one side to another. To experience the magic of Rub’ al Khali (Empty Quarter) the largest uninterrupted desert on Earth! The Liwa Crossing through Empty Quarter offers a chance to witness nature in its purest form and in itself is a transcendent experience. However, traveling through the largest desert in the world is not something that should be taken lightly. It will be a 150 - 200 km off-road drive covered within 1.5 days through amazing breathtaking views and the enormous size of dunes on earth. What you will find here: Tallest sand dunes (200 - 300 meters) Steepest incline and drops Longest side sloping Broad ridge riding Faster heartbeat Sweaty hands Mandatory rules for Liwa Crossing (exceptional) drive. Considering its seriousness to keep you and your vehicle safe, these strict rules will be applied to all. For Fewbie level you must have driven at least 5 Fewbie drives with Carnity in the last 3 months. It is highly recommended to drive alone, as it's a very serious and demanding drive to stay focused at all times. Maximum of one passenger allowed - No exceptions and trip lead will send you back. Make sure that passenger has no fear of heights, motion sickness and have been to full-day off-road drives before. As once we enter the desert, the only way out is from the other side, without any early exits for 100-150 kms. Everything in your car should be strapped and secured - All vehicles will be checked by the trip lead. Drive Preparation: Your car should be in 100% pristine working condition, so double or triple check everything. Full-size spare tire with a lug wrench to match your wheel nut size and its depth. For aftermarket rims - Your lug wrench also needs to match the wheel nut depth. As it's a long full-day drive, so catch up with enough sleep in advance. 5-10 liter of water per person. Snacks for breakfast, lunch, dinner and next day breakfast. Keep your car as light as possible by packing what is truly essential. Fully charged radio with spare battery and all other required off-road gears. Gas tank and required number of jerry cans should be full upon arrival.

Hi Shahid, due to the previous confusion, we have rewritten it to make it very clear now. For Fewbie level you must have driven at least 5 Fewbie drives with Carnity in the last 3 months. 2 Let's root for each other & watch each other grow.

Vanessa8580 Posted January 11, 2023 Author Report Share Posted January 11, 2023 @Tharun Kumar V You haven't completed 5 fewbie drives yet so I will have to remove your name from this drive. @Shahid Mehmood and @Manoj Soman You didn't complete 5 fewbie drives in the last 3 months so I also have to remove your names from this drive. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pascal Posted January 11, 2023 Report Share Posted January 11, 2023 Hello @Vanessa8580, I was promoted to fewbie plus a couple month back (even though I did not do fewbie plus drives yet since). so I understood that as fewbie plus with less than 2 fewbie plus drives you could register to the fewbie level. I am also booked to a fewbie drive this coming week end (14th). So this will be 4 fewbie drive in the last 3 month + fewbie plus level. I was hoping that would be sufficient ? (in addition I have 11 intermediate drives with another club (Abu Dhabi 4x4), in case that could help I was really looking forward to this drive, since 1 year when I could not make it last year. Can you consider putting me back on. Best regards, Pascal 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
