@M.Seidam Thankyou once again for organizing, planning and leading such a great drive this morning, we encountered a myriad of different terrains and challenges, so once again a fantastic learning experience, moreover, a superb way to spend Saturday morning with a great bunch of people @Ashok chaturvedi thanks for a great S/L always enjoy being in convoys with you. and a great CW and sweep from @Rizwanand @Pacific, the rest of the team played well together supporting the couple of digs we had in true Carnity spirt with everyone pitching in. More importantly, the banter was brilliant, looking forward to the bar-B-Q lol, but not the consequence of said Bar-B-Q , so probably best we shelve that idea. @Waqas Parvez @Vaibhav @topgear @Mohamad Anwer @Naveen Raj @Gregory @Tareck have a great rest of your week end guys really enjoyed it today and see you all in the sand pit very soon.

@M.SeidamThank you for the wonderful experience. We had a mixture of every single bit of off-roading skills to learn today. Rains and strong winds have changed the face of the desert but you took us through it. @Ashok chaturvediGood job as 2nd lead and always on the radio keeping us alert of the challenges. @Rizwanm2Good job on the CF and always quick to be on location where help was needed. @PacificSince everyone drove well you did have less task as a sweep. Please sure driving with @Waqas Parvez@topgear@Mohamad Anwer@Naveen Raj@Gregory@Tareck. Hope to see you soon on the sand.

@M.Seidamthanks for organising and planning with different terrains,had we had more time in our hands would have continued for an hour or two🙂,rest of support crew @Ashok chaturvedi @Rizwan @Pacific thank you ,rest of the crew drove well and looking forward for more drives with you all,i have shared photos in the gallery enjoy and have a nice weekend.

Thank you @Foxtrot Oscar for the wonderful drive on Friday afternoon. It was a challenging task deflating and putting up the flag in the midst of strong winds and flying sand. Once the convoy got going in this weather it was the most exhilarating drive in recent times. The 1st time fewbies @Markus B, @Joseph Raju & @Imran Kashif did so well in the drive that we had minimal refusals and stucks. The track was technical most of the times and overall the convoy did very good. It was a pleasure driving with old mates @Looper, @Pacific & @Chinthaka Ruwan and both Looper & Pacific filled in their additional responsibilities as support for the convoy. Hopefully we can see them more in supporting roles soon. The rest of the drivers who I haven't known before but had the honor of driving with them yesterday are @KAMALIO, @Faisal Alhashimi, @Lucky sAm & @Muhammad Qasim. It was good to see them negotiating the technical dunes with ease. @Manoj Soman who I had driven with a couple of times before have improved a lot in his Rubicon. Didn't hear him on the radio seeking assistance. It was great seeing @Michel Van Woudenberg with his brand new LC 300 for this drive. I was wondering what would the technicians at TOYOTA might be thinking of he and his car when he takes it for the servicing with all the engine bay covered in sand. They got to give him respect for using the car for what it was made for. See you all soon for another drive with @Carnity

Excellent drive today, @M.Seidam a perfect combination of all terrains with a lot my favorite technical drives 😁, thank you for planning it perfectly. Thanks @Ashok chaturvedi, @Rizwanm2 and @Pacific for your support.

@Foxtrot Oscar Thank you for excellent drive yesterday. It was my first drive with you and looking forward for more exciting drives with you. Yesterday it was a totally new experience for me and I never seen the desert like that before. Even though it was a long convoy under extreme conditions everyone performed excellent. Thanks @Thomas Varghese for perfect second lead and @Looper and @Pacific for great support. At the end of the drive the view was amazing and there are some pictures uploaded in the gallery.

You can refuel, if needed, at the Al Qudra's Last Exit ADNOC station. Please, be watchful of bikers coming through the bike lane just off the turning point on Saih al Salam Road, before crossing it.

The Carnity frequency we'll be using throughout the drive will be channel #1 (466.006).
