Enjoy the evening, take a good rest, and see you tomorrow morning. My phone in case you need 0588620942.

Good morning all ! @DP1011@Giacomo@AlexM@Glenn W@Imran Asghar@Ashutosh Garg@Alexanderrr@Senthil Kumar@Srikumar Some final pointers before we meet up tomorrow morning: 1. Make sure you are fully fueled up, including your jerrycan. We might not have to use the jerrycan but in this unpredictable terrain it's a precaution. 2. If you camp the night before, be cautious in that area close to the meeting point. In the dark you won't see much so better not to venture into the dunes too far. 3. We will be using Channel 4: 446.081 Mhz 4. If you have some space left in the car, please bring some firewood if you can so we can keep warm at the bonfire that night. I am looking forward to tomorrow's adventure and i am sure we will be having a great time out. See you tomorrow at 8AM sharp!

Dear Desert Drivers Please make sure your car is ready for the outdoors, and remove unnecessary items from the back seat and trunk areas. Please take the time also to program your radio, referring to the post above if you need to. I will indicate by the end of the day the final list and convoy order. stay tuned ! Please check your route to reach the meeting point. Coming from Nahel on the E95, about 300m before the final location, you will see a road to your right, with a sign "...Holiday Camp..." Take that road. It is closed by a fence. Reach slowly to the fence, it will open by itself. Then continue until you see the other cars.

Good evening all! This will be my first ride with the club so I would like to introduce myself. My name is Brian Kurzeja but my friends call me BK. Very new to Dubai after moving here from Tunisia last month. I completed the masterclass on Tuesday and look forward to meeting everyone tomorrow.

See you all tomorrow morning!

Yes, I do have all of it.

Yes..I bought all of these on my last drive..

I'm bringing two bags of firewood Fyi C4 have a sale. 25aed for a bag. Normally 50. Good wood too.

Hi @Gaurav, Thanks for organizing this event! I'll be driving my jeep Cherokee trail hawk 2016 if that's ok for you. It will be first time with carnity although I already test it.

@Frederic last year one was amazing I wish truly if I could have joined with Abdallah but we are having guests this weekend coming from far. .. all the best guys and please take max enjoyment safely 🙏

@Ale Vallecchi pleasure as always driving with you, it was nice to explore a location I haven’t been before until now. Good mix of dunes suitable for all different levels, would be a good place to explore further. Thanks @Jeandre Bezuidenhout @Hani crest king @Marek for your second lead, sweep and support throughout the drive. The drive was challenging in some respects and patience was shown by everybody which was great. My key take aways from the drive. 1. Communication - keep the radio close, easy access in case of a situation (rerouting, refusal etc),listen to instructions and respond when required. 2. Momentum - momentum is key, knowing your vehicle and how it behaves will help you further understand how to drive it in the sand. Pure power gets you out of some situations but momentum is your friend and will lead to a smoother experience. (There are many people in the Carnity community who may have your vehicle, any questions or difficulties you’re dealing with, just ask and I’m sure somebody will have an answer for you). 3. Ridges - get on top of the ridge and ride the ridge for a few metres before switching to the over side of the dune. Hesitation leads to rerouting or refusals, crossing the ridge at the wrong angle could lead to a more serious situation. (keep in mind I’m not an expert and I’m still learning like everyone else, but talking about these points helps people to learn, understand and improve) regardless, it was still good to be out in the sand on a brisk chilly morning with a good group of people. I hope you all have a great week. See you next weekend hopefully 🤞🏻

@salahb That thing that made the difference and you don’t know what to call it is called the RAPTOR effect Best of luck in whatever you decide. You have narrowed down your search to 2 very capable vehicles and you can’t go wrong from here.

Many thanks for a fantastic drive @Ale Vallecchi Your passion for desert and the drive is infectious and I learn a lot on every drive with you. Thanks very much @Jeandre Bezuidenhout, @Glenn W and @Hani crest king for your patience and constant support throughout the drive and making it happen. Had an absolute blast and looking forward to the next one!

Sorry guys, got some commitments tomorrow, I have to sign off from the drive, enjoy the LIWA 👍

I’m so sorry, I have to un-RSVP have a wonderful time everyone

Thanks @Asif Hussain, after some consideration (nearly 16 hours of continuous driving), I pulled out this time. Hope to do Liwa another time. Have fun.
