Varun Mehndiratta Posted April 23, 2023 Report Share Posted April 23, 2023 DRIVE PLAN Pyramid shaped vertiginous dunes in Area 53 seems unsalable at first sight. However, each of these offer a secret stairway which if treaded right lead to the top of these majestic dunes. Of course this demands approaching them with right plan and momentum. It requires a convoy high on skill and temperament - with sand super soft and steep climbs, there is no way to recover a wrong step. So, this Saturday, lets get set to challenge our climbing skills through this awe-inspiring terrain which has tested the best of off-roaders in UAE. We request every member that joins this drive to go through the below information and strictly follow these guidelines, etiquettes and responsibilities.

Mark B Posted April 24, 2023 Report Share Posted April 24, 2023 Not going to lie, super frustrating Iwas on the drive reservations before it was full but the same glitch happens every time I pay the subscription, It doesn’t give me access, this is the second time I’ve been bumped off a drive cos of this error and after waiting the whole day, with an alarm set. so each Time I basically get 3 weeks for the price of 4 🤦🏻♂️ 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beide Worku Posted April 24, 2023 Report Share Posted April 24, 2023 @Varun Mehndiratta just wanted to drop by to say please don't make it too hard with titles like that I can't even waitlist myself because I have a confirmation for the same time slot. You guys have fun, I am sure you will. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi @Mark B stay put my friend still some time to go, have been there so can imagine the pain, especially being on wl second week in a row. In general, I have been using one month subscription for last 6-7 month, never had any tech issue, still good to have this feedback for tech team to check.

Mark B Posted April 24, 2023 Report Share Posted April 24, 2023 I’ve had it for the second month in a row, and reported it last time too. And I don’t mind being on the wait list if I’m late but I was trying to add before it was full and wouldn’t work. So yeah a little annoyed with this now 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seeing your WL which is done at 7:16 PM and number 2 in a queue, you might get this drive by the weekend. Let's root for each other & watch each other grow.

Benjamin Posted April 24, 2023 Report Share Posted April 24, 2023 (edited) @Mark B this is really strange. I have a yearly subscription so I haven’t ran into this issue yet. If by Friday morning your still on the waitlist (e.g next up on the order to join the drive) I’ll drop out to give you the position no worries!

Yeah I get what you’re saying, it took 16 minutes to get it to work, when I first tried to add there were 7 people there and that was literally 10 seconds after it posted. 6 hours ago, Benjamin said: @Mark B this is really strange.

Gary F Posted April 25, 2023 Report Share Posted April 25, 2023 @Mark B does your sub expire around 7pm ? Wonder if that could be changed. I haven’t had this issue in the past but have had refresh page issues that made a difference between being on /off the drive, now I’m at the stage when I can be available at 7pm Monday to watch the clock to the second and open a fresh page from the WhatsApp link to sign up. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark B Posted April 25, 2023 Report Share Posted April 25, 2023 Hey Gary No I paid a few days before so can’t be that, I was literally sat with my personal phone on Carnity and my work phone as a count down timer 😂 I was on there within seconds could see 7 on the drive already then 8,9 etc and the rest is history, same thing happened last time I paid too. But I’m over it now 😂 last night I was not impressed to say the least Maybe I’ll just do annual to save the headache 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
