Dear Desert Wanderers, @Ishak, @ALEX 0171, @Andreas Riis, @Jose Luis Campos, @Hetal, @Emanuel, @Sam_, @Yurybel, @Arvindraj, @Abhishek Chikara, @Andrei S and @Mehmet Volga Firstly, thank you for all showing up on time this allows us to get the briefing done and get away as early as possible to give us as much time in the sand as possible. I have shared some pictures of today's drive in the Gallery. I hope you all enjoyed the drive as much as I did and more importantly all had at least one learning experience, I am always learning as I drive with different people in different areas of the desert. Al Fayah is one of my favorite spots i must admit so it was a great pleasure for me to lead you through the thrills and unique beauty that it has to offer. You all drove exceptionally well, we did start off with a few refusals as we hit some of the softer patches and we got to grips with driving in softer sand, which is an art form all of its own. We then meandered to the desert fox inhabited rock formation (which is not actually rock but this description sounds best), where we had a photo opportunity, unfortunately we did not see any foxes today but there was evidence of activity in the area. we then continued on our way to the exit where we encountered a straight up and over that gave us our first Stucks of the day, the three shovelers grim (picture in the gallery) worked well to get most of them out until reverting to a little mechanical help for the last one, i think we were all pretty tired by that time :). we then sped across the last piece of desert to our exit poin. It was great to meet some new team members and see some old faces. A big shout out to the three musketeers that supported the drive today, @Ishak in S/L position, handling my instructions with precision and professionalism, keeping the right gap so you could react to my shouts of don't follow, weel done and great job. @Emanuel in the CF position, i hope not a baptism of fire on only your second support drive, you were extremely busy today but handled everything we the convoy could throw at you so well done and fantastic job supporting all the team members. And lasty but not at all least, @Mehmet Volga great job sweeping us today my friend, and fantastic prowess with the shovel, i was impressed by your shoveling skills I must admit seriously though, great support from all three of you I could not have managed without you so thanks again. Have a great weekend one and all and hope to see you all in the sand on one of my drives again very soon

Tks for today's drive. It was good and fun time. My 2nd drive and front bumper gets worse so next week changing to proper one)))

Convoy A will be on Ch 2 Convoy B will be in Ch 4

Thank you for this morning’s adventure! and a special thanks for helping dig my car out… twice! @Emanuel, in all fairness, I never heard you say you wanted to dig, but it got jinxed either way. Thank you to you, @Mehmet Volga and @Davie Chase for digging us out, not once, but twice. (Sorry I didn’t get any pics of anyone else digging) So many valuable lessons learnt today, completely different to last weeks drive and so many more lessons learnt ☺️ Hope everyone has a lovely weekend further ☺️

Thank you all for all the support and help. It was a fantastic ride, I really enjoyed it. Can't wait for next week! Hope to see you all there!

Thanks for a wonderful drive @Davie Chase @Ishak @Emanuel and @Mehmet Volga, learning a lot with every drive look forward to see you all soon again have a wonderful weekend everyone!

@Shaun J you should be proud of such modest and yet capable company - Looper grouped cars based on recent reliability, I guess. Edit: google maps in 2023 registered something like this right next to this place we are meeting: Dear driver, dune driving using vehicle or motorcycle strictly prohibited. Are they serious there?

Majority pajero in convoy B 😮

Thank you for another enjoyable drive, @JeromeFJ - action right from the first minute! Thank you as well to @Luke K P and @Bjoern for supporting - your patient guidance during my brief attempt at off-roading in 2H was most welcome! Have a good weekend all.

Hi, I am very sorry for this Last Minute drop out but I just got an RFP so it is work for me today. My apologies!

@Gaurav and @Looper there is a good chance I will run late at work. If in time I will join Luke & Aser and go directly to the gathering point. If run too late will send an update, in case I have to miss this one.

Agree @Gaurav great insight from @ChrisW and we are still learning today, the beauty of this sport/hobby is it is always throwing up great learnings no matter how little or how much you think you know 😀

Hi @Looper, no chance of getting the car fixed in time so I shall remove myself from the drive. Give it everything and unless the fuel reserve light is on you haven't gone hard enough 😁

We all learned the same way, I still remember my first two years learning with trial and error, where error superseded always. Thanks @ChrisW for such a bold statement, this means a lot to the whole Carnity team 🙏

Degree in aerospace engineering and an early career test flying modified aircraft here - I can tell you that one of the glories of off-roading with Carnity is that I’ve never had a moment to think about anything other than what I can see through the window, feel through the seat, and hear from the engine. And sometimes, on a really good day…I’ll remember a wise word or two from our experienced leads. I’ve always ran out of talent before the car ran out of capability. You’ll have a cracking time, and my advice would be to not overthink it!

Hi! tell me please @Gaurav this is not last that kind gathering during season? Update. False alarm, but anyway question is actual)))

Dragon mart is a very racist place, vendors price you base on your skin color/ethnicity by look. Go with a Chinese/South Asian for better pricing. 🙃One of the best battle field for negotiation master class in UAE
