Thank you all for joining; i hope you are all looking forward to a nice beginner level drive in the famous Pink Rock area

A few small pointers:

1. Try to arrive 15mins earlier if possible so you have ample time to deflate and set up your flags. When you arrive you can deflate to 14psi if you have HT tires (Highway) or further down to 12psi if you have AT (All Terrain) tires.

2. Bring enough water with you. Summer is in full swing. Let's not overexert ourselves.

3. We will be using Channel 4: 446.081Mhz on the walkie talkies. 

See you all in the morning!

See you all tomorrow

 

@Frederic Noted your message. Excited to begin my off-road journey with Carnity!

[Imran Asghar]

Hope you all like carrots.

@Frederic 

Apologies for the last-minute notice, but I won't be able to make it to today's drive due to a personal matter.

Have a great drive, and see you all next time.

Lovely 100th drive today. Drama free and fun recoveries nice one Ash with the winch I had no hope pulling that starship of Zubails out.

I guess  I found it!

It was indeed a drama free relaxing drive out there this morning!

With @Kishor on his first drive, we started off gently but soon realized he was a natural: keeping the exact momentum and lines and not setting a foot wrong the entire morning. Extremely impressive and you're a perfect fit for Carnity: perfectly on time, equipped with all tools, and excited to drive. We could not have wished for a better Absolute Newbie  

Not just Kishor, but everyone drove amazing today, so we could ramp up the pace and complexity a bit, and all of you delivered brilliantly. @Esteban Ayala@florent sierens@edward-392 you were all in my rearview mirror 😁

We took a break on Pink Rock and i felt happy to see @Imran Asghar completing his 100th drive with us. I remember his early days full of enthusiasm and jokes, and it's great to see none of that has changed  

As a drive lead you can now carry forward that same enthusiasm for offroading onto others. It's fantastic to have you in our midst and we all wish for many more drives together!

With @Anish S , @J-P L, @Ash S.and @JC_E amidst the convoy things were a breeze: we had some good fun winching Zubail his starship, with the right tools and cool as cucumbers. 

It was starting to really get hot when we exited, so starting at 6AM was worth it, and the coming weeks we might even start a bit earlier  

Thank you all for joining today, on to the next one!
