Dear Dune Surfers, @Jaro Tuzinsky @Jonny90 @Arman @TT_Dubai @Zulfikhar Naiyar @Brett Eicher @Sunny84 @Ignacio Quindós @salah2u @Imran Kashif @Ranjan Das @Looper Hope you are having a great week and eagerly waiting for the weekend!! welcome to the 4th edition of Skill Drive Series which had been posted in previous weeks The idea of this drive is to practice the skill and enjoy the thrill of side sloping. Side sloping is an important skill while navigating the desert. This technique is very fun and addictive, but it needs to be executed with a clear mind and a good experience with the behavior of the car. That is the main reason why this technique is only used from Fewbie level onwards. It is very critical to understand how gravity works and as we always says: " DO NOT FIGHT GRAVITY ". this applies to this technique most of all. I see that we have no more waitlists for this drive as all of them have been accommodated to other drives or not able to join due to own reasons. ( we will miss you guys). however please confirm by evening if there are any changes in you plans. The start point is : https://goo.gl/maps/vQ9HZ7gAvPUCc5r58 We will be driving towards Lisaili and based on convoy response , will exit near camel tracks or fort or loop around to exit at start point. Welcome back @Arman @Ranjan Das @Looper !! its good to see your names in the list!! I will send the convoy list and radio frequency by Evening once everyone confirms.

We are having a long convoy tomorrow, and therefore, it is very important to adhere to the roles of driving in a convoy. We are lucky to have a nice strong support team, which i hope they will not find anything to do, except enjoying and watching new joiners how they are nicely performing desert drive.

Would suggest to make sure you program your radio with all the channels we are using in Carnity, can be done once and forever. - All terrain tires can be deflated to 12 psi and normal tires to 15 psi. To do this please make sure you have tire deflator and pressure gauge. - Check all fluids of your car, tow hooks, and all items in your car are fully secured - Make sure you have full petrol tank, or as much as possible - Make sure you have : - Tire deflator - Pressure gauge - Compressor - Flag (no flag = no drive) - Radio (no radio = no drive) Convoy order will be as below.

Congratulations @Sam K

Thank you for organising this drive, @GauravSoni. Looking forward to it!

🙏

Thanks Varun, confirmed

Dear @Sam K @Senthil Kumar and @Ranjan Das you have been added to drive. Let me know if you have any change in plans.

No issue dear @Mohamad Anwer 🙏

Dear Dr. @M.Seidam I am very sorry, I have to pull out of the drive due to some family commitment. Enjoy the exploration, I wish you a great adventure.

Thanks all for the lovely response to the drive - is really very encouraging and motivating. And honestly added a bit of pressure of expectation as well, have I oversold it? 😀😀 Also a bit curious if its the LOR or a Little Sweihan magic? Hope no one mixed it with Sweihan, Abu Dhabi. 😀 We have a long WL and as you can imagine surely can’t extend the convoy to accommodate all. While I am evaluating options, seek your support as well. a. In case you are not sure or your plan is changing, please ensure you update RSVP at the earliest - surely wont be good that we lose a slot while we have 8 ppl in WL - with 6 of them having this as their only drive option for the weekend. b. For drivers Intermediate and Above, in case missed out, there is another Intermediate drive as well at same time and understand still has some slot open. Though it’s a Abu Dhabi drive, starting point is just at border of Dubai-Sharjah and Abu Dhabi. So not much diff in alarm time 😀. Plus is a totally new terrain - not explored before by any of Carnity convoy. Accordingly, if you find it interesting, kindly review. Thanks again and will surely revert with some plan based on overall picture in couple of days and really looking forward to Sunday. 🙏 @Rob S @Imteeaz @Beide Worku @Imran Kashif @Looper @Ranjan Das @Daniel Rodas @Gregory @takeshi sobue @Sam K @Senthil Kumar @Haitham Khattab @Amr Aydin @Mahmoud Taha @Tareq Al Turq @Chris Wing @salah2u @Alexanderrr@Salim Akhtar
