@M.Seidamsorry for the delayed response. The drive was an awesome mix of techie stuff and swooping easy hills. The only reason i used the early exit of Mark to join him is that my best friend from Australia was waiting at my house after flying in that morning ! Look forward to many more, starting tomorrow with an all day in Liwa !

Morning everyone. Near the meeting point you will find a gate. To open the gates you need to get your vehicle close to it and shout ABRACADABRA. If any difficulty you can call me on 055-9567471

I would advise you to come alone on your first drive, especially if you don't have any previous experience. The less distraction in the car, the better. You can bring your family on your next drive if you want.

Drive Details CANCELLED

Hey guys, so my fiancée and I are joining and camping tonight, will there be group camping? We can get cards, Uno and monopoly!

Naim @Naim Aounfeel free to WhatsApp to me 0586751825 would love to see you are correct. @Ale Vallecchi yesterday was a fabulous drive enjoying a lot of what is great about the desert areas we.have here. A small convey who were all enjoying the drive with little or no incidents. Thank you very much.

Congrats @Anoop Nair .. see you soon on another drive

Hi @Vishu Korgaonkar it's not a problem if you don't have a compressor on the first drive. I always have a spare one that you can use. There are many compressors out on the market at the moment but it depends on your budget which one you want to purchase. I can give you some advise after the drive on Friday if you want. There is also a topic on the website that gives you idea of the kind of compressors you can get.

Enjoy Liwa my friend and get us lots of pictures 🙏

Sure @Charbel any drop out will bring you first in as it’s your first drive Drive wait list update first drive 1. @Charbel second drive 1. @Daniel Rodas

Thx @M.Seidam, nothing serious just some upper stomach pain that happens from time to time.

@Wrangeld this would really only be my second drive of the season and I hope you'll agree, it seems pretty intense for someone who may be a bit rusty and hasn't fully tested his car in previous months. Therefore I will bow out and wait for an opportunity to do a few drives and build up (stamina and concentration) to a biggie like this in the furure. It does sound incredible and I wish you all the very best of luck, looks like a very strong convoy. Mac

hi Dr. can you please WL me for 1st drive this week? @M.Seidam

Hello @Chaitanya D My plans changed so am able to join your ride tomorrow. Am looking forward to it! I understand (and have paid the fuel bills) my Prado has a 150-litre fuel capacity, comprising two tanks (an 87-litre main and a 63-litre auxiliary). That should be sufficient right? Cheers, Patrick

Thanks @Ale Vallecchi for this wonderful drive. I have never been on a smoother drive; what a wonderful flow with barely any interruptions and on such a varied and technical terrain. I was filming on my dashboard GoPro and have wonderful footage that @Matt.T who was ahead of me would love to see (too large of a file to upload unfortunately).

It worked with me to open Ad gates saying : open sesame, just in case , then call @Srikumar 🤣

From Lisaili drive

@Salman Farooq is this is your first drive with Carnity?? I see you don’t have any drives mentioned in your profile which means you have to join a absolute newbie drive first - mandatory in Carnity off road club. Important check list for all members signed up on this drive please read thoroughly and acknowledge by clicking totally agree Vishal Nair @Vishal Nair Sudhanva Sonawane @Sudhanva Sonawane Dinesh Kumar A @Dinesh Kumar A khurram.k @khurram.k kiranshinde @kiranshinde Muhammad Qasim @Muhammad Qasim Rob Soughton @Rob Soughton Manish Kashyap @Manish Kashyap Julian Patterson @Julian Patterson Adnan Halepota @Adnan Halepota 1. Please ensure that you are there at the meeting point on 7:30 AM sharp. Late comers would be sent back. 2. Firstly, get lots and lots of rest the previous day. The more the better as Liwa will not only challenge your vehicle but your mind as well. We would need your complete focus and fatigue due to less rest is the last thing that is needed on such a terrain. For those who prefer camping the previous night, you can do so at the starting point as its a nice spaced out area. Bring some firewood incase if you wish to have a bonfire to keep you warm. Cleaning up after the bonfire is mandatory. 3. Ensure that your 4x4 is well serviced recently and all the lubes and fluids are topped up. 4. 20 Liter / 40 litre fuel jerry can is needed depending on your vehicle. If you have any doubts, please post your query on the drive post and we will assist. 5. A full fuel tank at the meeting point. 6. Spare tyre should be in good working condition. If not been used recently, ensure that you take it out and check the condition properly. Also ensure that you have the wrench that can be used to remove your tyre (if needed). In the past we have seen that people upgrade their tyres but still keep the the original wrench which is of no use to remove the upgraded tyre. So please ensure that your car has the right tool to remove the tyres (if needed). 7. Air compressor, proper shovel, flag, fire extinguisher, first aid kit, 8. Fully charged radio (tuned to all Carnity Frequencies) with spare battery / radio. If you have a car charger for your radio, please bring it along. 9. Please ensure that you know how to switch off traction control (turning off Air bags is not mandatory for this drive). If it requires pulling the fuse, please research before the drive or better still, post your queries on this drive post and we would assist. 10. Car charger / battery pack for your mobile. 11. Plenty of water, approx 5 litre per person per day. 12. Bring along your breakfast, lunch, snacks, etc in easy to eat packing. We shall be having breaks in between the drive. 13. Dry food, energy bar, cookies, nuts, crisp to munch while driving 14. Bring garbage bags along to carry your trash. Littering in the desert is strictly prohibited.

Oh dear @Lawrence_Chehimisure no issue at all hope all good bro

@M.Seidam thank you for the excellent drive yesterday, especially the last part of the drive was excellent, nice pace that everybody managed to follow without any issues! Great team spirit as per the attached pic Looking forward to drive with all fo you guys again soon!

Trip report Dear friends it was with an immense pleasure meeting all of you and leading a drive which turned to be one of the most enjoyable times for me hoping it was for you too. I much appreciate for being in time lined up and prepared , and after briefing we started moving at 06:50 hitting the pylon track toward south and parallel to the 🐪 track. Upon entry of the technical patch east@Michel Van Woudenberg had a refusal upon first dune crossing and apparently his 4X4 was disengaged. Thankfully and after being tugged , thanks to @marks , somehow and after several attempt of manually trying solve the issue in his FJ40 1978 we took a call to continue and he did more than wonderful throughout. the technical part was a good warm up which was impressive and no issue if any to recall till we reached the flat area and at this point it was a time of a little stop to demonstrate especially for the New Fewbies some technical and safety points during criss crossing and ridge riding. This area of Lisaili is particularly known for its medium long range dunes where after several side sloping one beautiful ridge seemed to be ideal for the first criss cross and gentle landing , so every one did in excellence . We practiced in this area couple of times. till confidence built up to continue so we did . Then we came to face a popout of the right front tire of @Imteeaz GoolamhossenY61 . Which was fixed in no time . we continued and the radio was silent for about half an hour indicating that every one now is set for the second part ( the only one breaking the silence was me checking that all is good in the back ) and the answer from @Rajeevan Vickneswaran was reassuring always 😊 heading more in south and east direction aiming at the high dunes parallel with the Paja route , ( connecting murqab to the sabkha and further south through the technical till the borders of solar park/ Qudra ) , we had to cross a short cut technical stripe . Just before the end of it @marks passenger started feeling unwell and we had to give it a break for few minutes in the fresh air . nothing was much left before the first tall dune and riding all of us along it’s relatively flat ridge a beautiful scene of the large Sabkha like a run way illuminated by the reflection of the rising sun high in the sky as the watch was pointing to 09:35 ( I wish I had a picture ) however from a previous drive in same area looked like that 👇 It became clear that Mark’s passenger can no longer continue and I had to make the call now and asked the friends about their wish of early exit or to continue for our remaining 45 minutes . We accompanied mark , Michel and Marwan to exit safely at Murqab and the remaining of the convoy after little rearranging returned back to the flat sabkha engoing what was remaining from time and that was a blast a continuous side sloping , climbing and criss crossing along the long range dunes in a direction toward exit.and just before existing @Stavgot slipped with left front wheel in the air . However with some instructions recovered very smoothly and nicely. Generally it was such an experience for all of us lots of learning and much skills to develop and refine all by time comes smoother and nicer . we learned the criss crossing tech safely and how to approach and when and at top of that never fight Mother Nature ( Gravity ) and instead makes it yours and by your side it will never fail you. we learned some self recovery and blip blip gas and how gentle to handle the foot on paddle and hands on wheels with harmony. we learned how to fix the pop out basically keeping all safety precautions during executing that as well as how can you avoid it ( skills vs tire ) On top of all of this we all met again and for some I haven’t seen for quite a while and others it was for the first time . What an honor and pleasure . Well done every one. @Michel Van Woudenberg pleasure meeting you , your handling driving a manual car has special respect for me. Hope you enjoyed it. @Imteeaz Goolamhossen as a first FB drive you did more than great and your self recovery was awesome. @Manoj Soman also first Fewbie drive . Excellent . Your second lead for the last part was very good . Nice meeting you buddy. @Felix Obst eventually we met what a pleasure . You drove like a pro brother . Well done. @Adam James nice meeting for first time too . No issue at all keep it up hope to drive again with you . ( please update your car type in your profile 😉) @KAMALIO apart from one or two refusals I believe You have done great . See you next time and nice meeting you 👍 @Marwan Haddad second time we drive together , thie first and this drive flawless like a pro 👍 @Stav what a pleasure . Great driving and the last one with self recovery is all part of the spice to any drive as long as you do it safely and you did . Wish To drive with you one more time. I would like to hugely thank @Gok Krish ,pleasure seeing you after all this absence , your help in the middle was very much appreciated my dear. Flawless as I knew you 👍 .Same goes for @Rajeevan Vickneswaran thank you for keeping me posted from the tail of the convoy at all time. last but not least special thanks goes to my second lead @marks for being there correcting whatever slipped from under my wheels . I hope your passenger is ok now . take care all enjoy your week ahead and the upcoming holidays as well . See you soon gliding on dunes cheers 🙏 Mohamed P.S few pictures in gallery
