Hi @Ale Vallecchi,

I added myself to the drive this morning (thurs) as it was not full.

Just noticed it had a Wednesday cut-off in the description above.

Is it still ok to come along?

• Limited to 8 cars maximum. RSVP will close on Wednesday - 5 PM.

Hi @PETELCZYC PAJERO - luke. Thanks for adding yourself. The 8-car limit has been a mistake. Up to 12 are welcome. See you tomorrow.

Thank you @DP1011 for updating the new members on Carnity's requirements.

@Faraz94 and @Yahir Marban welcome to Carnity. Kindly review the material pointed out by Deepak. I will give the convoy a technical briefing just prior to entering the dunes, so that we can all be aware of the does and don'ts of sand driving. 

Looking forward to seeing you tomorrow. Enjoy the end of the week.

Dear Desertnauts,

welcome to tomorrow's Newbie drive.

As all drives including drivers signing up for their first Carnity drive, each "Absolute Newbie" has been asked to watch the instructions video. Moreover, before entering the dunes I will give a technical briefing to the whole convoy (for not AN's, repetita juvant, as the Romans would say).

The meeting point has been posted as follows: https://maps.app.goo.gl/oVa8uPKa2h8jaaXHA

You may reach it by taking the new 2-lane road from Qudra's Last Exit to Solar Park, and upon reaching the third roundabout, circling back toward Qudra, and leaving the tarmac through an opening in the guard rail, approximately next to the lines of pylons. Once arrived, please start deflating and putting up your flags: I'll be there waiting.

The drive will take a track reversed from the initial plan, from Solar Park to Lisaili, to take into account the possibility of starting in an area of "easier" long range dunes and exiting at a more difficult patch of low technical dunes. 

The convoy order, at this time, is the following:
@PETELCZYC PAJERO - luke in Second Lead

@Aser at #3

@Faraz94 at #4

@DTG at #5

@DP1011 at #6

@essam ibrahim at #7

@Theo09 at #8 and 

@Benjamin in Sweep.

Please set your radios on Carnity Channel #2 (446.031).

Looking forward to seeing you tomorrow morning just before 7:00 AM. Have a nice evening.
