Disgusting Desert Dutiful Deliverancers Aisha S @Aisha S topgear @topgear Zeeshan Patel @Zeeshan Patel khurram.k @khurram.k Looper @Looper ahmed salama @ahmed salama Anton Dimov @Anton Dimov Arman @Arman Nabil Jamil @Nabil Jamil Thank you for offering your time and energy to clean up our wonderful desert tomorrow. How will we manage this? Our convoy will be as follows: Wrangeld Looper Nabil Jamil Zeeshan Patel Armand Anton Dimov Dodi Syadhar Khurram. K Aisha. S Ahmad Salama Topgear Alex Raptor SW Ale Vallecchi FSW Starting at Bab Al Shams, we will make our way in the direction of Last Exit. I expect that the experienced drivers (highlighted in the list) can act as support for the less experienced, showing them excellent drive lines and helping them in recoveries where the seniors (underlined) are not there. When we find some spot where disgusting levels of rubbish have been left, we will stop and as a group clear up, take the rubbish out of that spot and move on. There will be some fun driving - don't be worried about that, but we will be searching for rubbish, so think of the drive like an exploration. Because it's Xmas day, we plan to exit by 11, so everyone that wants can get home in time for any festivities. See you soon in the sand.

Trip Report: Pictures say a thousand words, so I will keep this simple🤩 1. Drive with some shoveling and self recovery 2. Visit to Richies Bar in Qudra 3. Camping in Moonlight 4. Barbeque and Grill 5. Chilling weather, Fire and Chit chat 6. Morning workout and camaraderie among the juniors who joined us 7. We left the place clean with ZERO TRASH behind💙 Thank you @Adnan Halepota for being a good 2nd lead, @Looper and @Anish S for supporting. @Veedooshee and @Anish S thanks for arranging a lot of stuff for the BBQ, which was awesome. HUGE ADMIRATION to all of you for following what was planned strictly, - few self recoveries done quickly, drive discipline, communication, during camping and clearing the whole area while we left - @Adnan Halepota, @takeshi sobue, @Harshad Ashraf, @Looper, @Imteeaz, @Karthik Raptor, @topgear, @Anish S. This indeed made the whole experience memorable. @Lakshmi Narasimhan missed out on a good one, @Zeeshan Patel hope you are all well, @Joseph Raju, @ASAD., @Reggie Landicho and @Thomas Varghese I/we will consider if this option will be feasible that there might be an option to exit on such drives planned in future. Thanks again and have a restful weekend after this refreshing night out.

I said this before and I’ll say it again, I will always sign up for drives with you @Shaaz Sha Your drives always push my limits and challenge me and that’s what I enjoy the most! You always give me things to work on. I told you that I’m not confident with ridge-riding and you spent the entirety of the second-half of the drive doing that until for the first time since I started driving in the desert, I got stuck and tugged TWICE! It did not feel like a fewbie plus drive at all and that was thrilling and scary at times. “You know I need to enjoy too” 😂😂 Lovely convoy. Thank you everyone and special thanks to the support team and Russ for the tugs and support. Merry Christmas everyone!

Thanks @Tom B @Mohamad Anwer @Gertjan @John Vanderbleek @ShereenMK @Salim Akhtar @Josh T. @Sudhanva Sonawane @marks @Mus_hus78 for another lovely day in a beautiful desert zone of AD. Fully charged and relaxed for the new year! Great leading by @marks with challenges and playing together! Good job buddy! Winged supports @Mus_hus78 and @Josh T. sorted out every issues and kept the convoy in safe order. Thank you amigos! @Tom B very good start to your Fewbie journey. Enjoy! (You will love manual gearing soon 😉) @Gertjan @Sudhanva Sonawane @Salim Akhtar excellent step up in your progress guys. Keep it up! ... and experienced desert smashers @John Vanderbleek @Mohamad Anwer @ShereenMK , nice show friends! I enjoyed watching. @ShereenMK; don't change your car 💪 See you all on the next. Until then, Merry Christmas / Happy new year! 🎅

is this drive not the best way to end the year? what a day! what a convoy! thanks @Shaaz Sha you are a beast. Merry Christmas everyone 🎄!

Looking forward for tomorrow

Thank you doc for a wonderful drive + camping. Loved every bit of it and looking forward to many more such exciting events. Hopefully next time it can be in a Friday night so that I don’t have to work remotely remote.

Awesome drive @Shaaz Sha. We accomplished all the targets in the allocated drive time thanks to all who showed up on time and drove so well so that not much time was lost on recoveries. I suppose we drove 60km plus. @Shaaz Sha allowed all the breaks required to keep us focused which was very important. Good support by @Ranjan Das & @Russ when it was called for. @Aisha S got lucky to drive as the 2nd lead and I could see her vrooming behind @Shaaz Sha happily. Was this a fewbie plus drive or a notch higher level? I believe it was almost an IM level drive considering the seemingly difficult track laid out to us by @Shaaz Sha and surprised that all the drivers rose up to the occasion and drove extremely well. My honor and pleasure to drive with such experienced and talented drivers. SEE YOU ALL IN THE SANDS SOON. HAPPY CHRISTMAS TO ALL.

@Chaitanya D, @Looper, @Anish S and all, thank you for the amazing night drive and camping. The camping spot was perfect, under the moonlight and slight breeze. Thoroughly enjoyed it and look forward to the next one!

Ok 👍🏼

Dear Desertnauts, To further enjoy the clean up drive in the Christmas spirit, here's a few songs to accompany your much appreciated efforts to restore our desert to a pristine state: Let's have fun tomorrow.

Thanks @Kailas for An exciting and fun day in the desert. Being in such a short convoy has its benefits and the first half was the evidence of it. i always struggle a bit in the 3rd quarter of drives due to a bit of fatigue, but today was another story altogether. only yesterday I was mentioning to @Chaitanya D & @Anish S that I had not had a recovery situation in like months. I definitely have mentioned twice may be three times. And I was served with instant karma in the form of two crests and a standing stuck one for a vey mention. I should have kept my mouth shut yesterday. thanks a lot to @MMansoor, @Daniel Yang and yourself @Kailas once again for all the effort you guys put in for my recoveries and for a great drive today.

Sorry my dears , have to drop as got an important meeting to attend tomorrow . Wish you a great ride , god bless you all.

Aisha S @Aisha S topgear @topgear Zeeshan Patel @Zeeshan Patel khurram.k @khurram.k Looper @Looper ahmed salama @ahmed salama You guys are complete troopers. Thanks for signing up for probably one of the most important drives of the year. Where Carnity members look at the disgusting state of the desert we drive in and do something about it. I truly hope there will be more like minded souls that understand that the timing was designed to allow for Xmas morning excitement (late start) and allow the day to not be totally taken up by this activity (out by 11am) but if not, we will clean up as much as we can and know that we earned our Xmas lunch. I promise that there will be some desert driving, it cannot all be work and no play - but the hope is we can clean at least a small part of the disgusting detritus left by the people coming to the desert. Your manage team @Ale Vallecchi, @Alex Raptor and @Dodi Syahdar will also be trying our best to create some festive cheer for everyone on the drive.

Dear @Hisham Masaad Can you pls WL me Second drive for the weekend

Please waitlist me as a second drive.

Hi Kailas I have renewed my subscription yesterday but I have already done a newbie on the 8th of October with Carnity followed by a fewbie drive. Am I supposed to do a newbie drive everytime I renew my subscription ?
