Hello there,

This is Mahesh and thanks for the warm welcome. 

The details as follows:

Jeep wrangler Rubicon - Green - 2023. 

No prior experience and an absolute newbie.

Completed the Newbie Video Briefing.

[Ale Vallecchi]

Dear Desertnauts

welcome to the next Carnity Newbie (and Absolute Newbie) drive. 

As the drive plan initially entailed the wish to give a seminar in off-roading skills, one at the time, the fact that we have 4 Absolute Newbie in the drive is not going to bring about a change of plan, actually quite the contrary. We'll still provide a detailed briefing prior to actually entering the desert, then we'll dedicate about 1 hour each to the skills of 1) side sloping, 2) straight crossing, and eventually 3) criss-crossing. Of course, all maneuvers will be supervised, and conducted both on a terrain suitable for beginners, as well as with all safety precautions, to ensure that all drivers can manage to complete the drive. 

All Absolute Newbies ( @taz911, @Amal Sunil, @Shady Ibrahim and @S.Mahesh), please MAKE SURE YOU HAVE SEEN THE BRIEFING LIMKED TO THE DRIVE'S POST).

The meeting point will be just off the tarmac road leading from Qudra's Last Exit to the Bab al Shams Resort: after reaching the 3rd roundabout, you will circle back toward Qudra, and exit at the first break in the guard rail, before stopping just past the bike track.

The convoy order, at the moment is the following:

@Gautam Banka in Second Lead

@taz911 at #3

@Amal Sunil at #4

@Shady Ibrahim at #5

@S.Mahesh #6

@Anas Arif at #7

@sohinik #8

@Rafey Hashmi at #9

@Ali Al Moumar at #10, and 

@Simon D in Sweep.

Please reach the meeting point a little bit of time ahead of 7AM, so that we may ensure a timely beginning of the drive.

See you all on Saturday morning. Have a great end of the week.
