Morning Fewbie Desert Drive - Lisaili to Murquab - Dubai - 08 Nov 2025

Hi @Emanuel Waiting to hear if I'll get the car back in time as we speak. 

Needed a new drive shaft amongst a couple of other things to the tune of around £2000 😭

Will update as soon as I know.

Thanks @Emanuel and the Carnity team for a great morning out! Enjoyed sweeping at the back and getting the chance to snap a pic or 2.
See you all soon on the sand!

‘Stuck’ of the day

[Emanuel]

Thank you, everyone, for an amazing drive yesterday!

You all arrived on time and came fully prepared for a fun-filled morning in the dunes.

A special shout-out to @Rob S, who celebrated his 100th drive with our club—what an incredible milestone! This achievement reflects countless learnings, recoveries, and moments of helping others along the way.

Overall, the drive went smoothly with very few issues. The most notable challenge was when @Ash S. slid off a ridge and got properly stuck. Rob led the recovery brilliantly: we secured the front of Ash’s car with a strap, then carefully freed the rear, allowing for a graceful exit. Great teamwork all around!

The route was a mix of terrains. We started along the camel race track toward our entry point in North Lisali, then navigated through technical patches to reach our fun zones. These included side-sloping and ridge-riding dunes of low to medium height, culminating in Murquab, where the taller dunes gave our Fewbie and Intermediate level drivers a chance to play before heading to the exit.

A big thank you to @Mahesh_ and @Rob S for holding the Center Forward positions, @Theo Prado for Second Lead, and @Gertjan for Sweep. It was a pleasure meeting @Theo Prado, @Ash S., and @Thomas54675 for the first time.

Enjoy the rest of your weekend, and see you all on the next adventure!

Here is our track and stats. The elevation profile illustrates the fun we had in the first third and later thirds of the drive. A very respectable drive covering nearly 54 kms.
