Dear Desertnauts. Tomorrow's drive will be partially a "premiere" and partly a recce drive. We'll start in Al Ajban proper, with the first full convoy to come this way after the original exploration drive of a few weeks ago. Then, we'll aim to reach Little Sweihan, into Dubai's emirate, through the farm enclosures and across E14 (Faqa Rd), moving in a north-easterly direction. The goal is to actually find a way across the emirates' boundaries, or else we'll have to trace our way back to the starting point. Patience and grit will be essential. The convoy, a great mix of different levels' members, is designed to allow 1 on 1 tutoring, with each lower ranked driver following the lines of a higher ranked one: @Andrew John Melvill in Second Lead @Steffi at #3 @Glenn W at #4 @B.K. at #5 @topgear at #6 @Amr J at #7 @Aser at Center @JC_E at #9 @Alexanderrr at #10 @Shary at #11 @Mike M. at #12 and @Luke K P in Sweep. See you tomorrow ready to start at 8:00AM. Have a great Saturdya evening.

@Theo09 @Aggy22 @Humi @juoffroad @Simon Hope @Aser @vinayak n @Jason M @Zsolt @Vijaya Kumar Doppa @Faraz94 @frederik.eistrup Thank you all for joining today's amazing clean-track Pink Rock drive. Everyone did superbly, especially the newbies. Please share your pics here: https://carnity.com/gallery/category/2258-newbie-pink-rock-sharjah-22-march-2025/ Thank you Jessy for this special recognition, with the best certification I have ever got.

Thank you @JeromeFJ for leading us on the dunes today . Big thank you to the suport team and all fellow club members for the patience . A lovely drive with some challenging high dunes …indeed raising the heart beat 😊yet feeling super safe following Jerome instructions. Looking forward to meeting you all soon ! Enjoy the rest of the weekend.

Thank you everyone for joining the drive this morning. A beautiful clear day, and still a nice temperature. The small group configuration was perfect to explore the nice dunes of Nahel. Passing the lake, we started a warm up moving up and down in the open dunes, doing a few crossings, testing the grip and the effect of gravity passing over a few pockets or steep descents. The soft sand was adding to the difficulty, as another variable to adjust our driving. Then we reached bigger dunes, an opportunity to push the engines, ... and raising the heart beat ! We could realise the necessity to keep a smooth line when reaching higher speed, and to control the descent always. After the break, the area was more technical, requiring to dose just the necessary amount of power to keep moving. Reaching the sabkha, we still had a bit of time, and I extended to a nice area with smooth rolling dunes, variable sand color, a very relaxing way to end the drive. Very well done @Ana and @Myrko you gained progressively assurance all along the drive. Well done also @Lukas Lewis with the big truck in the technical portions. Thank you @topgear for the 2nd lead, rerouting my lines when needed, @Jeandre Bezuidenhout for sweeping our group, and big thank you @Luke K P for the support and reassuring guidances for the few refusals. See you soon!

What an incredible Sunrise

Amazing drive today @Looper - thrills and happily no spills on some great lines today in Sweihan. Thank you! A few videos off the 360… Looping off the ridge… Ridge Climbing… High Ridge Cross…

Thanks everyone for a fun Saturday morning, especially @JeromeFJ for leading us around! I really enjoyed the big dunes at the start.. great to see everyone hammering over them on such a clear day with great sunrise. After a break we moved into the technical dunes where I got quite stuck on a tiny dune. thanks for the rescue @Lukas Lewisand @Jeandre Bezuidenhout The rolling dunes at the end were a lovely calming way to end the drive and get ready for the rest of saturday! See you all in the sand again soon!

Also we had a great side quest to recover a baggy. Taught them V channel😁

Oh what a drive! Thanks @DP1011 it was absolute pleasure. Beautiful terrain and diversified mix of small dunes for crisscrossing, medium fast paced dunes and large climbs! Loved it! however this mix put additional requirement for distance feeling skills, so this was a truly "mind the gap" drive! Thanks again, this was something amazing to mark my 50th drive with Carnity! Thank you all!

Just had a quick look… The single compressor is rated for 50% duty cycle, 30 minutes on followed by 30 minutes cooling. The cut-off kicks in at 115 degC. If the compressor was left in the direct sunlight today and sat on the floor, there’s a good likelihood it would hit 115 degC after running for a while. There’s a few things you can do: - Sit the compressor in the shade (less heat due to sun) - Make sure the air filter is clear and the air chuck at the end of the hose is also clear (good flow, motor works less hard against any resistance) - Ensure good contacts with battery (running motor at lower voltage can result in higher heat) - Use a two hose or four hose setup to fill multiple tyres simultaneously (more efficient)

Hi @DP1011 - sorry I just saw your message this morning. Hope you guys had a great FB drive. i was with @Gaurav at the Pink Rock, which was an excellent ride - thank you for that!

Morning, need to to drop out from todays drive. Sorry! Have a great drive!

Unfortunately I cannot make it tomorrow also. Enjoy drive all.

Apologies I have to withdraw from tomorrow drive because of some unexpected engagements.
