Thank you @Gaurav, thank you @Hisham Masaad. I appreciate the support of the Carnity community. Looking forward to join the next fewbie drive.

Congratulations @Jessica Lamberton the promotion

Congratulations @Thejas Uthranon the promotion.

Congratulations @Frans Mon the promotion.

Congratulations @Bashar Beshaon the promotion. Very well deserved.

The Southern Cross (or Crux constellation) was an important symbol for the Egyptians, as it represented the place where Horus, the Sun-goddess, was crucified, marking the passage of winter. European voyagers in the late 15th century took the Southern Star as a divine blessing for their conquests. What better omens for the approaching new-year, riding on the Southern Star Express......

Congratulations @Ahmad Nerat well done

Keep driving, many more will be in kitties...have fun n be safe.

Thankyou everyone for a great offroad team drive. It was a fun drive on this Christmas. Please find the pictures that might be useful for you. Regards.

@Mehmet Volga It was wonderful drive. We startedg with Technical dunes which looked impossible to get through but with your lead we did it. Then lot of ridge riding. Never done it before. Good learnings. Thank you @Senthil Kumarand @Pacific for supporting. I am unable to attach pictures when browsing on my mobile. What could be the reason?

@Mehmet Volga good evening.. Hope you all had a great drive.. just an update I fixed my car and got it just now. Pressure pipe broken for the steering wheel pump and thank you all for the patience and support.. see you soon in the sand. Marry xmas 🎅

Sorry @Looper My holidays will have ended, so I have to take the time before the new year 😓 I will be doing other overlanding/camping drives, and will keep the club posted in the chance there is interest. I understand it's not easy for people... families/holidays/commitments... and can only do what we can.

Thank you very much for organising this drive @M.Seidam It was an absolute blast... beautiful area and night drives always add an element to the adventure. Very pleased your brother in law got to join in the fun... hopefully he's caught the offroading bug! 😅
