Frederic Posted October 17, 2023 Author Report Share Posted October 17, 2023 Great to see a full convoy, and some old friends from a while back @frederic demolderCongrats with your new car, i am sure you'll love it in the sand ! @Soufianewishing you a warm welcome to Carnity ! Kindly send us small introduction as a reply on the following questions: 1. Any previous offroading experience ? 2. Are the vehicle's front and rear towpoints in good condition ? 3. Do you have an offroad-flag, pressure gauge, deflator, and programmed radio ? Please watch the Absolute Newbie briefing video, which will give you a great introduction to what we do and how we do it If you are lacking some tools for your first drive with us, nothing to worry about as most of us carry spare tools that we can lend you for your first drive. 2 "Go as far as you can see; once you get there, you'll be able to see further."

Any Amazon links or good shops you advise ? Thank you again and see you this Sunday !! Great to hear that @Soufiane ! You can head over to ACE, Speedex, or any other hardware shop to get the pressure gauge, deflator tool, and a decent shovel. For the walkie-talkie, Dragon Mart is the only quick option. If you are too far away, you can order online on https://edragonmall.com/ and you will get free delivery on anything +100AED. Baofeng UV5R, Crony or Motorola MT777 are the most used models here in the club. See you ! "Go as far as you can see; once you get there, you'll be able to see further."

PLEASE RSVP ON THE CALENDAR Hello Good evening, Is there a possibility of organizing another convoy? I couldn't commit to this drive in time and regrettably missed it this week. There are seven members on the waitlist, and if we could arrange another convoy, we would also appreciate the chance to join. I wanted to express my regret for missing this opportunity.

Haneef Thayyil Posted October 20, 2023 Report Share Posted October 20, 2023 Hi @Frederic I was waiting from Monday to get into the convoy from waiting list, checking everyday as this trail is something emotional and nostalgic for me as it was my first drive with Carnity and with you @Frederic couple of months back. Every week I check the calendar, your event and was waiting for the same trail again. Unfortunately I was traveling on Monday so I couldn't join on time so I put myself to the waiting list. It was a nice experience for me for the first time with you when I joined Carnity and would like to be on the same trail again with you to feel the difference of my first drive and where I'm now, if you have any plan to extend the convoy again I highly appreciate if you could add me too so I will cancel my fewbie drive happening on same time and join with you on Sunday. ☺️ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
