Nothing much to add to the excellent drive report by @Shaaz Sha . Although we couldn't reach to the playground at Margham as we had planned, it was really nice being with club friends and sweating together to sort out successive pop outs. At least we made good workout to be fit for the summer in front 💪 Everyone did great during the first part of the drive, which was on the technical terrains requiring qualified skills. Except pop outs, nothing serious happened and we all crushed the soft dunes! Special thanks to @Yousef Alimadadi and @Shaaz Sha for their extreme efforts during pop outs and tire replacements. There wouldn't be any chance to sort these out without you both guys! @Nikiwas excellent again on 2nd lead and saved the convoy from falling into dark pockets for several times. Great effort he gave also for pop outs and thanks to him as we used his spare tire to quit @PaoloMaraziti @PaoloMaraziti it is nice to hear that you safely reached to the workshop and resolved the issue cheap. Thank you for all your support during the hard work. ...and of course millions thanks to @Wrangeld for supporting me today. The plan was keeping him in comfort at the back, just like doing a soft desert safari on a caressing pace. But it never goes as per the plan when I and Richard are in the same convoy The angel of events likes to tickle us whenever she finds us together... @Zixuan Huang - Charlie @Marwan Haddad @Karthik Krishnakumar @Nihal17 @Nathan Evans @Ranjan Das thank you very much friends for your performances, patience and help. it was a nice 'good bye' for me to the desert for this season as i'll be on vacation until september. Until then, have a lovely summer, enjoy the desert and stay safe! See you all on september!

hi all, it was a wonderful day to start off with and everyone showed up on time. After deflating and radio briefing started off at 4.50. The whether was so nice and I expected a great drive. The area and the terrain was amazing and as planned we were heading towards the play area and just some where near the end of technical patches , we had our initial pop out on @PaoloMaraziti FJ and tried our level best to inflate it and failed doing it as the tire size was smaller compared to the wheels. we then had to use the spare tire to proceed further. After a few meters ahead we had our second and third pop outs , one again with @PaoloMaraziti and the other one with @Marwan Haddad . It was this time where we had to deal the uncertainty we expect in offroading. Left with no other option we had to borrow tht spare wheel from @Niki FJ to exit Paulo. After changing the tire and fixing @Marwan Haddad pop out , we started towards the tarmac to exit @PaoloMaraziti . After exiting him our plan was to move towards the play area and have some fun. But unfortunately some how it got delayed and as the temperature raising we had to discontinue the drive. Thanks to all convoy members for their patients and tollarnce , keep it up guys 👍👏👏👏. Thanks to @Mehmet Volga for the drive. Though it didn't end up the way we planned, the time we had was really nice and look forward to drive with you. Thanks to @Niki for a wonderful second lead .did amazing bro and thanks a lot for ur help with spare wheels. @Zixuan Huang - Charlie did really well with his pathfinder. keep it up buddy. @Marwan Haddad.. congrats bro on ur first pop out 😀😀 and hope you had a learning time today. did well bro. @PaoloMaraziti , had an uneventful day and hope you sorted out the tire issue and reached back safe. It happens and this uncertainty is always there while offroading. keep up the spirit. @Yousef Alimadadi you were flawless buddy. great job being the CF and thanks a lot for all your help and support. keep it up. @Karthik Krishnakumar @Nihal17 @Ranjan Das had hardly any issues and handled their wranglers really well. @Nathan Evans you were amazing with your cutie jimny and superb performance buddy. @Wrangeld thank you for guiding us from behind and for all your support, advices and suggestions while fixing the pop out and it was much relaxing to have you around. thank you. see you guys and keep cool. 👍👍🙏

No Rope Newbie Drive😉 Just another enjoyable drive and cheers to our excellent newbie convoy today👍. The fact that the rope was not taken out today goes a long way to say how great you guys were today. Khatam is the area where we started our drive today and as it is, the soft sand did give some challenges which were the cause of some minor refusals, but overall was superbly handled by our newbie convoy today. We then headed to our first play area and everybody practiced those sides really nicely ,under the meticulous supervision of our Lead @Brette. It was indeed a great route that we were taken through by our fantastic lead which required the team to do some good maneuvering and get the proper momentum to go through the soft patches. I hope everybody had quite some fun at the different play areas. At the Faya area, it was really great to see how everybody wanted to practice the sideys and perfect their climb more and more and all the enthusiasm and improvement were already being noticed on the later attempts of the Faya climb. @Ammar Naji great second lead, well implemented the instructions given by the lead and impressive climb at the Faya area. @Clay Neddo, @Simon Ducos and @Roy Armale, very well done for your first newbie drives. @Paolo Pellegrini this is our third drive in a row together and buddy, you are just doing great👍 (Looks like you really getting hold of the Pajero☺️) @Alfred Alinazar you did very well today, keep it up. @Abdul Rafay-S, @Yawa, @Sunil Mathew, all our yellow jeep wrangler boys, very well done specially with the even more churned up sand at the back, you guys did a nice job. @Luc Khaldoun, I think every drive you getting to know your car better and it is really showing on your seaman style of driving..(am also getting to learn a few things about how your car works😃). @James Thorn I did not hear from you which is indeed a good sign that you did great on the drive. And finally thanks very much to our flawless sweep @M.Seidam, it is always a pleasure to be driving with you. Great teamwork 🙌. Have a great weekend...see you all soon in the sand...

What an interesting morning! You just know that the drive is going to challenge you when you get a refusal on the road approaching the meeting point!🤣 Thanks to @Ale Vallecchifor organising and leading an enthralling drive along the crest of the world. Lots of difficulties were encountered and lots of lessons learnt. Cheers to @Darren Brookewho was working hard at sweep and to @Alain Canivet-Abikhaliland @Nivin for ably assisting. I for one enjoyed it even if my energy was starting to sag after 4 hours of wheel sawing and dune reading in the glaring sunlight. Got some good air and some pretty hard landings but nothing broke so I guess the Gadgero has yet more to give... Looking forward to the next ridgefest for sure.

Thanks is not enough for this drive @Lorenzo Candelpergher, such an action packed, challenging drive pushing every ones limits and exiting with a huge smiles on every ones face!!! Amazing lead in challenging night, making sure every one is crossing safe and recovering when needed and allowing to take multiple attempts till we take the correct track and cross over the obstacles and rerouting when needed. Thanks for taking us through track which we ( at least for me) have not tried earlier. Thanks to @Gaurav Soni and @MUHAMMAD Kashif RAZZAQ for being wonderful CF and sweep keeping the convoy moving safely. @Wernodid an amazing second lead role which is not an easy task to follow Lorenzo at night. I believe you enjoyed and learnt a lot!!! @RooRzOn did very well with your monster @Abdul Rahman AK you managed the Pajero very well most of the times except for few refusals and cresting in tricky area. @Darren Brooke you managed your Tahoe very well on all the challenges thrown except for the side track on Fossil rock where most of our cars struggled on the very soft patch incline on the top. Hope you fix your bumper soon. @Gaurav Soni you kept the center keep moving constantly and guiding the team in self recovery which was amazing. @JeromeFJ it was amazing watching you drive in the front and easy for me to follow your track. I had my share of cresting at one spot where Gaurav tugged me in no time. Also I was able to take most of the challenges with out much sweating except for few minor refusals and once again thanks Gaurav for trimming my mud flap which was rubbing and slowing me down. The best part for me was on climbing Faya which was the best on my Pajero till date. @Danish Mohammad I could see you driving behind me effortlessly in the churned up areas with very few minor refusal all self recovered. @Russ you were not heard on the radio and I believe you took all the challenges just like that with your monster. @MUHAMMAD Kashif RAZZAQ you were instrumental in sweeping the convoy safely and communicating always on the radio helping us to keep moving. Over all it was a fantastic drive outstanding team effort and great learning for all. Literally I didn’t want the drive to end. Yet it was a perfect drive to start a week end. Thanks to entire convoy for such a wonderful drive well started and exited on time. Have a nice week end drive and see you soon.

Convoy 1 : Trip Report After our quick morning greetings, at the break of dawn, Convoy 1 and 2 departed towards the huge bowls and dunes that Shuwaib has to offer. As we started scaling the first set of dunes, we heard the message on the radio that Rob's beast had a nose dive in one of the pockets. The impact seemed to have disturbed all the sensors along with a bit of bumper damage. After resetting the computer the sensors seemed to have been working properly as he was driving for next hour or so at a brisk pace through all the bowls and hills. As we reached approx the half way mark to Iftar Bowl, we reached a massive bowl which was begging to be ridden on. With the fantastic set of drivers and cars I took the adventurous route of exiting the bowl by crisscrossing on the top of the dune on to the other side. As all the cars were making it through, it brought a smile to my face till we saw Rob's car getting stuck on the slip face. It took a while for us to realise that his car had stalled and after a few moments of stalling the side airbags were deployed. It was the first time I have seen the side airbags getting deployed in a Japanese car. Probably the fact that it was a US Spec car could explain the cause. It again showed that regardless of the brand or origin of the car, it's best that the side airbags are always deactivated especially on higher level drives. With the seat belt tensioner also gone it was felt best that we exited Rob. It was a day where things didn't go exactly as per plan. As the weather was still bearable, the entire convoy felt that we could spend another hour in the desert. So we reentered at Super Bowl and we spent the next hour of one of the most intense fast paced drives that I have been a part of. As I kept pushing the pace, climbing higher the convoy responded beautifully in perfect sync. Among the chaos of multiple convoys in that area we found an opening that provided a smooth momentum to the top of both Super Bowl and later Iftar Bowl. It felt like all the other convoys had come to a standstill while our convoy was making an attempt. Brilliant driving by everyone @Rizwanm2 @Gok Krish @Goutam @Rob H @Hisham Masaad @Kailas Thank you for participating in this drive which I thoroughly enjoyed. Hope to catch up with you guys soon on another fast paced IM drive. Till then take care.

Dear @JeromeFJ @Darren Brooke @Lakshmi Narasimhan @Ranjan Das @Hisham Masaad @Humayun Ghias @Werno @Goutam Hope you are all as excited as I am and ready tomorrow’s adventure, basic details as usual below: 1- weather is getting hot and we want to have an early start hoping to cover majority of the track by 8:30am before heading to the exit to inflat by 9:00am before we get roasted. 2- This requires prompt presence at the meeting point by 4:30am and be ready to move max by 4:45am (deflated, flag erected, 4H on, radio on and set, airbags/traction/abs all set....) 3- Please ensure your radio is on, fully charged, and set to the right frequency: channel 3 (446,056.25) upon arrival to do a quick radio check 4. when you arrive, pls try to take your position (if possible) based on the below convoy order 5- briefing will be done on the radio as we start moving See you all on the sand 😎

Thx @Dodi Syahdar @Mario Cornejo @varunmehndiratta @marks @Abu Muhammad and @Nabil Bishara for the smooth drive and great support.. We went all the way from Shuwaib till Badayer shops going through the different terrain and key stopovers at Iftar and supper bowls and Badayer area.. smooth ride with moderate pace and few refusals quickly managed.. definitely an area and route I’d like to do more often. thanks all for the great drive and thanks @Mario Cornejo @marks and @Nabil Bishara for supporting the convoy.. special thanks to @Srikumarfor giving the chance for a second convoy and all the logistics in the background .. @Rob H I am sorry to hear about your car incident .. hope everything goes smooth with the repair.. I have been through the same in my 3rd Carnity drive .. can help with ideas for the repair if you want. c u all soon on the sand

Thank you @Veedoosheefor the excellent trip report. Well done. Khatam has some nice small dunes that have patches of really soft sand in between them and negotiating that has turned out to be a bit tricky for newbies in the past but the convoy today did really well with just a few refusals. We headed first towards the Maliha play area where we did a few low sideys mainly for the first time drivers to practice a bit. Once we moved out from the play area, we found ourselves surrounded by very bushy terrain where we had to keep the pace really slow and negotiate some steep descents to get back towards the tracks. Truly impressed with the way everyone handled that area, especially @Luc Khaldoun and @James Thorn since both of you drive beasts. Once on the flat, we back tracked a bit to get around all the vegetation and then headed to Camel Rock and then to Faya where we spent the last 45 minutes and everyone got to practice a few sideys or climbs depending on how many drives they have already done. Thank you @Ammar Najifor being the perfect 2nd lead , @Veedooshee and Doc, @M.Seidam for the exceptional support and everyone else for being a great convoy. Well done everyone and look forward to driving with all of you again.

Thank you @Ale Vallecchi for your pedagogy on the technique and tips and also for the bucolic ride among dunes, wildlife and vegetation. This intensive ridge-riding session was much enlightening and instructive. Totally recommend it to get more comfortable and confident with this technique. I tried as much as possible to follow you "a la trace" so @Anoop Nair and the rest of the convoy can also follow as much as possible your trajectory. Thanks sweep @Darren Brooke you got busy this morning well done ! Thanks CF @Nivin always comforting to know you're on the watch. Have a nice weekend everyone and see you soon !

As usual some pictures here. There is one panoramic not bad https://carnity.com/gallery/category/811-newbie-khatam-sharjah-18-jun-2021 Thank you @Brettefor the drive, the pace was not fast but some tracks not totally straighforward and some steep downhill hence a lot of fun. Great how you allowed us to play on the big dunes. @Veedooshee having you watching me so close me this time, really pushed me to do my best to not only not getting stuck but also to drive nicely and smooth. Thank you for your constant coaching and yes I starting to love and respect my car more and more. Thank you Dr @M.Seidam for your impressive driving skills and your reassuring presence Nice to meet new drivers and see more familiar faces. AD MAIORA

DRIVE REPORT Dear Desert Wanderers, I have always loved the Fossil Rock - Faya daytime drive, but I must say its night version exceeded by far my expectations. The whole convoy was extremely punctual at the meeting point at Khatam, so by 7:04 we were already in the sand. We immediately made our way up east, to reach the highest possible viewpoint from the rocky hillside of Fossil Rock, but once again our expectations to have a glance at a red sunset on red sand had were not satisfied, as the horizon was foggy (the great heat of the season doesn't help) and the sun had already disappeared. Climbing up didn't prove that easy: nasty bushes and tricky ridges, turning all of a sudden from round and fat into thin and sharp crests made very soon the first victim, @Darren Brooke who had to be winched down as there was no space for a proper rope tug. We then moved down, crossed the pylon track and ventured into the stretch of Khatam Desert on the east side of Fossil Rock. We made our way through a bushy area and found our next (one of many...) challenge of the day in steep climb that, with the churned sand and the unfortunate upshifting problem of earlier Pajero, forced @Danish Mohammad to give up after several attempts. After a quick reroute we could start again, only to stop a bit later to manage, one by one, with a few attempts, a daring criss crossing following a long side sloping inside a big bowl. Fun stuff, but not obvious to manage as it is difficult for everyone to build momentum to cross on top of a dune you can't really see: this is why, after the first struggles, I decided to lit up the way with my car lights, so the top ridge could be seen from below. As we moved further west, we reached the famous Long Dune, whose majestic lenght could only be guessed by a careful look at its shilouette against the dark blue sky. It was quite a view for me, once I turned around at the southern end of the dune, to see the lights of the convoy lighting up the long hillside. After having satisfied our side sloping ambitions for the evening, we quickly made our way to the top of Fossil Rock, where we had a regenerating break before throwing ourselves in the dark along the steep east side. What an adrenaline shot! When everyone made it to the bottom, since our timing was very good, we opted for a short digression to a very nice buch challenging area located on the east side of Fossil Rock requiring a very long ascent on soft sand. Climbing to the higher grounds, just below the rocky cap proved to be very difficult for everyone, so we split the convoy in small groups, so that each group could benefit of following the best line behind me. Almost everyone made it to the top, which was an amazing achievement. Those who struggled, @Darren Brooke, @Danish Mohammad and @Lakshmi Narasimhan, were limited mostly by the capability of their cars in the churned uphil sand. At this point we had quite a clear idea of the convoy's excellent capabilities, so, after cooling down @Lakshmi Narasimhan's transmission oil which had overheated during the many attempts made to climb up, kwe could head south heading full throttle into another great deal of challenges We reached the southern edge of Fossil Rock, climbed up the nearby 1st and 2nd rock, quickly reaching Camel Rock, where we took a 360 panoramic view of the imposing bright rock over the red sand. Night time driving is all but easy: one wants to be close to the car in front to have his way lit further ahead and a better idea of the line to follow, but he constantly ends up being too close as every driver tends to hesitate more in the dark, slowing down unespectedly. Also, when hesitating, one lifts the foot from the throttle and momentum is unavoidably lost. This explains the many refusals and the a couple of crested stucks by @Abdul Rahman AK and @Lakshmi Narasimhan, all promptly recovered with the precious help and radio guidance by @GauravSoni and @MUHAMMAD Kashif RAZZAQ, perfect Center Forward and Sweep. Thanks to their support moving/stopped time ratio remained very favourable as we proceeded south, reaching Camel Rock first, then The Sphynx, both viewed with a complete 360. I won't forget the thrill of driving along the edge of the most eastern crest of dunes leading to Faya: on the right side we had the relatively reassuring dunes landscape, one the left a dark abyss, the sabkha at the bottom and the shilouette of the saw-toothed crest of rocky mountains in the distance. Reaching Faya from the north is everytime an inspiring crescendo. As my lights pointed high while crossing some dunes, I could have glimpses of the next tall dunes ahead, while we kept on riding one round ridge after an other. We played around a couple of huge bowls, climbing the back side of Faya, until we reached the last big bowl from where a daring criss crossing was needed to make it to the other side. To make it easier, I placed my car a few meters after the target criss-crossings point and radio guided everyone across. Big kudos to all, as this maneuver was definitely a very challenging one, as pushing full throttle into the absolute dark while criss crossing is definitely not something that comes natural! Once on the other side, we descended at the bottom of Faya's renown big dune, where everyone had their fair share of attempts to make it to the top. Congratulations to all those who succeed (included @GauravSoniand @Lakshmi Narasimhan, who decided to head back to try again after the drive end) but equally to those who didn't, as, once again, it was mostly their car who stopped them. By 11:35pm we were out on the tarmac. We drove for 4h 31', of which 3h 25' moving and 1h and 6' stopped, covering 48.6km at an average moving speed of 14.3km/h and an astounding descent of +562/-551m which tells a big story about how daring climbs and descents. Everyone did extremely well. I only had eyes on @Werno, a perfect, ice-cold, 2nd lead, not a single time in trouble, and on @RooRzOn, who handled his Y62 extremely well in all situations. Congratulations to everyone else: @Abdul Rahman AK (ouch, what a pocket you hit!), @Darren Brooke (the right distance at night will come with practice) @JeromeFJ (week done not hesitating on your @Lakshmi Narasimhan (4h 30' drive were not enough for you 😂) @Danish Mohammad (hard time with your Pajero's upshifting problem) and @Russ (2nd last in the convoy without any problems!). Great thanks to @MUHAMMAD Kashif RAZZAQ and @GauravSonifor their great help. See you soon in the dark again!

Thanks a lot for the drive lead @Brette and for the great advice throughout @M.Seidam. @Veedooshee thank you for the report, but mostly for the support when I was stuck the many times and for everyone's patience while it happened! Learned a lot on this drive, including what "not" to do on etiquette from our uninvited guests on the ride, as well as a lot about my car and the clutch/power situation at lower speeds. @Brette can you remind me who are the manual (stick shift) wrangler drivers so that I mention them in the thread we talked about relating to the gearing and 4Hi Vs Low for the hill climbs? @Clay Neddo good to see you again, @Paolo Pellegrini thanks for the patience being behind me, and @Simon Ducos I'll send you a few videos I got of you since I was chasing you. Best, Roy

Thanks @Ale Vallecchi for this wonderful drive. First time I drove this area and it's a haven for ridge riding. Had good time. Thanks @Nivin @Darren Brooke @Alain Canivet-Abikhalil and all the team for the support. Also I have uploaded some photos to the gallery. See you all in next drive.

It was another interesting drive today. Thanks @Brette for leading the team. It was my first time to climb the high dune today. Might need to try another 10 times more next time to get better 😀 @Veedooshee, thanks for the wonderful report and encouraging me to try the high dune. May need to learn more about the Pajero trick from you later. Dr. @M.Seidam, nice to have you watching and sweeping us from the back today. Have a nice weekend to you all. See you again on the next drives

Hey fellas. My temperature gauge is blinking. Not sure what’s going on. Temperature seems normal. Engine a little rough though. Going to have to get this sorted so I’m out for this drive. Sorry. Be safe.
