Hi Davie, many thanks for the welcome - looking forward to joining in! I’m Chris, living in Abu Dhabi, I run a company during the week so looking for a little social outdoors adventure at the weekends!

 

In order…

Car: Jeep JK, Black, 2007 (manual/stick shift) - with various mods for offroad (lift and shocks, tyres, winch, lights, compressor, flag etc)

 

Experience: I’ve been taking 1:1 lessons in the Sweihan area, covering: dune crossing straight up/down, self-recovery, convoy driving (following), side-sloping and sand reading. All daylight only so far, and very early days of sand reading/driving. I have lots to learn!
 

Vehicle fit: I have two hooks/eyelets front and back, plus winch. I also have kinetic ropes, soft shackles, shovel, sand boards etc in the vehicle. 
 

Comms: I have a radio, programmed per Carnity guide, and flag. 

 

Briefing: Video watched and I’ll complete the next of kin/emergency info template before Saturday. 
 

Again, looking forward to joining in and keep my fingers crossed for the weather…

Hi Davie,

I'm Lea, living in Dubai and will be joining with my husband this Saturday 😊

I'm driving a Mitsubishi Pajero year 2019 in brown color.

I had last year in October a beginner class with Marshall Gaurav for some hours. But since then work was too busy so this is my first off road experience since that 😐

Confirmed for my vehicle on the tow hooks front and back and we will also come equipped with offroad flag and walkie talkie.

Really looking forward to it 😊

See you guys soon!

Lea
