Well what can we say, what an adventure, adrenalin rush, team building, banter filled, community spirit, fun filled, well organized event.
Organizing this magnitude of event in the middle of nowhere and miles from home is no mean feat. Bot sure how the team managed to get the tents, sound systems & tables all set up, organized the food & water and got it all to location as well as having the radio comms, repeaters, lights etc all in place and then having the team of people who helped out taking odometer readings and checking all the safety critical features such as ensuring everything was tied down securely, THANK YOU just does not seem enough. So a huge big Thank you to @Gaurav for pulling it all together, @Frederic, @Srikumar, @Sohini, @Ale Vallecchi @J-P L @Simon D and @Rob S for assisting with way point planning and scouting, giving up your days and evenings, for a remarkably well organized and safe event, for feeding us and watering us when we returned back exhausted, battered and bruised, and for placing the way points in some really interesting places, making this not only challenging from a driving standpoint but also from a hiking standpoint. and lastly for an amazing day out in true @carnity spirit
Not sure how you managed to pull this event off as perfectly as you did, but you did it, well done and thank you once again to you all!
To my fellow team leads @Looper@Albertorres@Asif Hussain@JeromeFJ@Zed@GauravSoni Well done to you all for making this another exciting Challenge and stiff competition, As has already been said, but has to be said again, we are all Champions of the desert in our own right. you guys are what truly makes Carnity a car community for off road Adrein junkies and an extraordinarily fantastic club to be part of. You and your teams all battled the elements with gusto and determination and anyone of us could have brought the trophy home. Well done to you all and look forward to doing battle again next year :):)
A special Thank you to my Team @Mark B, @ChrisW, @Gary F and @Benjamin, firstly for putting up with me as your team lead that in itself would have been worthy of a medal, but not only that, for the support and trust that you put in me to allow you to blindly follow me into the abis and beyond with faith that we would be safe and come out the other side with smiles and for the most part in tact. You guys gave up your time to meet and strategize, to practice, and to build that true team spirit that shone through on the day, you all did fantastically well and really drove the wheels off your cars to get us home with an amazing haul of points to take the win by the narrowest of margins. The banter and the comradery displayed all the way was just brilliant. Thank you one and all for making the day so special.
The Trophy is home where it belongs back at Carnity for the next 12 months, lets make sure it stays at home no matter who lifts it above their head.
