Andrew John Melvill has been promoted to Expert Level

[Frederic]

Congratulations @Andrew John Melvill for reaching the Expert Level with Carnity Offroad Club.

We have all been amazed with the progress you made. It was clear early on that you were enthusiastic about your new off-roading hobby, but you've been such a consistent part of our off-roading family now, and a fantastic mentor to our members. Your calm demeanour and quick wit is a blessing to have as a lead, and we all feel so well looked after whenever we are on your drives. You absolutely deserve this !

 

EXPERT

This level will be the most essential in your off-road development as you will start leading and managing drives independently with the support of other senior advisors. And also, you will help in developing new advisors to pass on the knowledge, experience, and skills for managing adventurous yet safer off-road drives.

The expert level will offer you continuous improvement in your overall development by alternating between leading and supporting once in a while. This way, you will still learn and advance your knowledge by supporting other trip leads in different terrain to understand the complexity and challenges involved and practicing independent lead and convoy management.

Feeling truly blessed! What a journey it has been, from the masterclass with the legend Gaurav in Dec 2023, working through the ranks to IM level during 2024. Then slowly moving towards Advisor and today. 

There have been so many mentors and friends along the way that all made Carnity the very special club that it is. Too many to mention but I am sure that you know who you are! 

There is so much still to learn, experiences to be had.and shared with all of you.
