Dear Friends
Hello and welcome to Carnity offroad club .
few points worth mentioning here regarding desert driving in the night , more to be emphasized and reminded during the brief at the meeting point .
1. No need for offroad lights except for car number 1 . If you have them that’s ok to use them unless the front car asks kindly to let it off. All what you need is just to follow strictly the front car . The high beam stock lights/fog lights are adequate in convoy trips
2. Always see where you step ( hand torch or headlight ) during inflation , deflation and during the breaks.
3. Try to avoid the bushes when out from car .
4. it’s highly recommended to have your legs and feet covered as creepers like exposed feet and legs 😅
5. always carry your radio where ever you go.
6. the speed and distance between cars falls into half of that during daylight drive ( will talk more in the brief )
7. Desert driving rules holds valid and more emphasized here as we are bound with limited visibility.
last but not least night drives are different world to explore and experience. It’s nice , cool and it’s another level of enjoyment .
Once you master it I assure you that you will be able “ to see without seeing and to you the darkness will become as clear as the daylight “
It was a great drive and always enjoyable exploring the desert with @Ale Vallecchi giving us a different perspective that the desert needs. @Aser a peace of mind to always have you in the convoy.
That caprice sedan in the middle of nowhere definitely has a Las Vegas Hollywood story behind it, great pace and flow from the convoy which made the morning drive even better. More pictures uploaded in the gallery
Thanks for the great drive everyone ! It was mainly smooth flowing with very few refusals, or stuck. It was certainly strange to see a sedan in the middle of the desert !
Thanks @Ale Vallecchi for leading the drive, @Aser for the sweep so that no one gets left behind and @Hani crest king for keeping the middle of the pack together.
have a good week ahead everyone !

Nothing in off-roading goes to waste @khurramm. Either they are worth the investment and part of the end-result or they are the price of the lesson learned to give you more experience
Stock headlights are fine for the night drives @Herman G
Only the lead really needs the ultra flood. Night drives are absolutely fantastic fun.. I recommend going along!
