@Riyal Shareef @Mark Pendle welcome to Carnity Offroad club

@Mark Pendle Kindly reply with a small introduction:

• Which 4x4 are you driving/bringing to drive ?
• Any prior off-roading experience ? If so please specify.
• Does your vehicle have front and back tow points and are they in perfect condition?

@Riyal Shareef @Mark Pendle As a perfect preparation for your first drive with us, please go through the Absolute Newbie Briefing video posted below which really helps in getting you to understand the first basic essentials, so please watch it with full attention.

Must watch Absolute Newbie Briefing ⬇️

For your first drive, please bring a tire pressure gauge and a deflator so you can deflate your tires. (for inflating tires we will be ending our drive close to ADNOC station so compressor is not compulsory for this drive)

If you do have off-road gear such as a flag, shovel, recovery rope or others, please bring it along as well.

If you have a UHF Radio you can bring it along, and program it to the Carnity Frequencies as per the below post. If you don't have radio we will provide spare radio to use. From the second drive onward you need to get your own radio.
