I think there are more than enough drives in @Carnity to join, enjoy, and get out safely. Personally my experience with few off-roaders groups and independent drives similar to the above is simply…. Horrible @Taimur Khan

Don't know if its fun or the level of drive. For me fun is when I drive with drivers I know under a lead I can trust. To put in more simple words fun is when I know I am safe with friends and will not be discarded inside the desert when some mishap happens.

Three men are in the desert when their jeep breaks down... They decided to split up to find some help. One of the lads, Jack, says "I'm taking the radiator since it has water in it." Another, Mike, says "I'll take a hub cap, for shade." They see their third friend, Greg, taking the door off. "What in the hell are you doing, Greg?" "Well if it gets too hot, *I can always roll the window down*"

Hi, Newbie drives are always family friendly. But it depends on the driver's ability as for a beginner a NB drive might be challenging. Also, most important is that the passengers don't cause a distraction to the driver.

Thank you, i have withdrawn from this and added my name on standby for big red on Sunday, thanks!

@Amr Aydinrequest you to delete all pics in my car plate is showing.. As survey may start from today.. Thanks

I've not been on GN fun drive, but i have gone with a local radio station for couple of drives, long before joining carnity, and that too with my Ford Explorer - 2011. It was definitely safe for newbies (*refer end of story below also ) , and i presume GN also will be safe for newbies, provided they dont ask for any offroad experience as a pre-requisite. The drive i went for had a dinner at a good desert camp with all regular stuff in a desert safari - barbeque, belly dance, tanourah etc etc, so that took care of the fun element to a certain extent. The drive itself was a new experience for me, so it was kinda fun at that time. But now, after drives with Carnity, i think the drive part would be boring, because 90pc you would be going through flat/low terrain, with a bit of climbs and drops - managed one car at a time by the marshalls/organisers. **now the bad news - i had a very bad experience on the second drive - the drive was marshalled by a popular offroad group from Dubai, and there were many convoys, and you wont believe it, one of the convoy leads lost his way!!! and i was part of that convoy. they kept on coming back to the same point (i didnt have Gaia gps that time, but from my interest i downloaded a basic app which would show offroad tracks and i could clearly see that we were moving around in circles) it was getting dark, and they panicked. Finally , to get us out , they took us through really tough terrain, sharp drops, very technical areas etc etc and i and many others sustained damages to cars. One car was abandoned (i think it was a honda pilot) and i dont know what happened afterwards. We reached the desert camp at 9PM , while the scheduled time was 6PM for dinner. So had to satisfy ourselves with some leftovers and go home , a bit shaken. I believe this would be an exceptional case, but since this topic is opened, i thought i would pen down my experience as well.

Hope to be part of your convoy some time soon. Thanks. See u soon

Congrats @Tom B, hope to be in a + ride with you soon !

Thank you @Gaurav and everyone who’s commented above. Can’t wait to get started on the fewbie+ drives. @Wrangeld warned me in my very first master class that this sport was addictive. He wasn’t wrong; I don’t think I have missed a weekend drive since my first newbie! Look forward to continuing to learn.

@Tom B, congratulations. Well done 👏

You can post your query on the AN drive thread. The lead would assist.

I've joined to AN. Do I need do anything else? I go directly to the map location.

@Davie Chase Congratulations !!!

@Gurcharan Mehta As this is your 1st drive after Absolute Newbie. Can you please confirm you have below accessories. 1. Tyre Deflating Tool 2. Flag and its mount. 3. Radio with Carnity channel's set 4. Air compressor The above are must for NB drive. I believe the rest of the RSVP's members already have the above mentioned accessories. If not, please get them

I hope opportunity presents itself. With the Marshal that have led , I feel safe to try out the potential

Hi @Kouros.. unfortunately swap feature is not supported in @Carnity 😂. If you can’t make Saturday withdraw your RSVP and WL your name on the Sunday drive instead.
