Thx for the kind words @Mike M. @Gaurav @Andrew John Melvill. Looking forward to enjoying some fun adventures together in the future 😎😁

Who said it was going to be easy? 😅 Two popouts with a temperature of 45 was a challenge but with teamwork and a winch we saved the day!

Congrats @Luke K P, @Emmanuel and @Ishak - fantastic seeing you progress with Carnity, and I look forward to joining drives led by you all in the future.

congratulations @Luke K P, @Ishak and @Emanuel you guys have rocked at support and now have rocked the LL courses, looking forward to supporting you all on the next part of this amazing journey we find ourselves on with a fantastic club. Well done to you all and well done to @Carnity for having such a great structure and learning program that takes people from absolute novices to great leaders. let me know what help and assistance I can give you guys as you move through the learnings of leading drives. Don’t hesitate to reach out at anytime I am happy to assist most of all enjoy and have fun 😃

Congratulations to @Luke K P, @Emanuel and @Ishak You’ve not only completed all three Leaders Lead sessions but you've excelled through every stage with remarkable strength, consistency, and focus. This is a big achievement. It reflects a high level of skill, endurance, and mental toughness that very few possess. Desert leadership is anything but easy — it challenges your instincts, demands precise decision-making, and tests your patience and adaptability in real time. What seemed straightforward on the surface has now revealed its true depth, and you have risen above every challenge with distinction. You've proven yourselves to be true desert leaders, demonstrating that leadership isn't just about driving — it's about guiding, adapting, and inspiring under pressure. Congratulations on your outstanding journey and achievement — your growth as desert leaders is well-earned and well-respected.

It was one of my worst drives ever… not because of the drive itself but terrible headache. It reminds me of how harsh the dessert is, and how horrible it would be for people sick back in the days where no ac, water, shade, medicine… it was 50/50 drive , almos 50% of time stopped, ive learned new things and recovery methods, the use of a winch and valuable lessons while ridge riding/ criss crossing. Commitment to gravity is king! undoubtfully always learning something new. grazie @Ale Vallecchi and @Aser! For guiding us through and supporting the convoy!

Here V1. I'll add the first bit and do V2 tomorrow Enjoy

🎉@Luke K P @Emanuel @Ishak Congrats!!! 🎉 See you soon, I can't wait to support you all!

@Ale Vallecchi thank you for the cool drive and beautiful concept, amazing creativity linking literature and offroading. @Aser thank you for the support and thanks to everyone. Weekend well spent

To @Luke K P, @Ishak and @Emanuel I can't wait to drive with and support you in your new well deserved roles. All 3 of you define the spirt of Carnity! The club that has become my home away from home. So proud of people that I call friends achieving in the in the endevours that they are so passionate about.

Thanks @Emanuel - the thought was there at least 😉

I am from the future Actually it's 2025 abbreviated but I get your point

We will be on Ch 2. Let's try to gather around at 2:45 and start to move at 3:00 o'clock. We will end the drive at about 6:00 pm. we will find a very busy areas in the middle. Request all members who will participate to install Garmin Tread app on your phone and set up with your credentials. I will share a group drive code at the start of the drive and will request all participants to join the group drive. Garmin Tread App will help us to track all members in the convoy should there be any break in the convoy. Garmin Tread App does not record GPS Track, hence you would still want to use Gaia GPS or your favorite GPS App that you use to record the drive. Please however ensure that you exit the group drive after you have finished the drive - otherwise it will keep sharing your location.

Well deserved boys!!!

Also feeling grateful for having found Carnity after my first off road club experience. They were not particularly supportive of new drivers or safety conscious. My wife and I both found Carnity was spot on for a supportive community and safety consciousness.

Congratulations on completion of the final session and welcome onboard Dear New Leads✌️! Looking forward to exploring more of Offroading under ur lead🤩! @Emanuel @Luke K P @Ishak

Grateful for the opportunity to advance under the training and support of @Gaurav and with my friends @Ishak and @Luke K P. Absolutely an eye opening set of experiences of the Technical, Mechnical, and Psychological dimensions.

We just came back(31.05-1.06 was very busy and miss you all guys, can't wait when will see you all again) from a magical one-day/one-night mini-trip to Snake Gorge Canyon in Oman, and I can’t wait to share it with Carnity community! 🚗 The Journey Begins We set out early on Saturday morning with my boys, and after about 8 hours, we crossed the border into Oman. Traffic was nearly non-existent—maybe because it was early, or because Eid was a week away. 🛣️ On the Road The highway after the border was a bit monotonous, but once we turned toward the mountains, the real adventure began. We passed Al Hazm Fort and an Omani local even suggested we check it out—unfortunately that was on Day 2 and time was tight. ⛰️ Into the Wadi The last 30–40 minutes to our destination was pure Wadi and mountain switchbacks. My Expedition was cruising in 4A without a hitch, while the Pajero and LC pickup shifted into 4L more than once. This was my first tough-road experience, and wow—the views were breathtaking. On the way back, I made a few stops just to soak it all in. Looking down? Terrifying! XD 🏠 Arrival & Exploration We reached our guest house, had a hearty lunch, and prepped for the hike. Since my younger son is only six, we chose the shorter 6 km trail—and it was absolutely perfect. 💧 Canyon Fun Given that it hadn’t rained in over six months, there were tons of deep, clear pools in the canyon. The kids were ecstatic, and so was I—especially in the sweltering 40 °C heat, the cool water felt incredible. 👶 Father–Son Bonding For the final kilometer out of the canyon, I carried my younger boy on my back whenever rocks allowed. He’d been so excited—stayed up late, woke up early, and didn’t nap a single second during the drive Leaving The next morning, we woke up, stretched lazily, had breakfast, and set off to explore an village site—more like a charming little town, really. After our stroll through narrow streets and old walls, we decided it was time to head back. But first, we swung by a car wash—our black SUV came out looking more like ash-gray than black! Then we grabbed lunch at a nearby pizzeria and struck up a conversation with a friendly local. This short trip didn’t give us the full luxury of a slow-paced mountain retreat in Oman, but escaping the hustle and bustle of Dubai—especially with my sons—has quickly become one of my favorite recent memories! ✅ Final Thoughts I definitely recommend visiting Snake Gorge Canyon. If you’re up for more action, try the full canyon route—it’s even more exhilarating, with 40 m rope descents and pools deep enough to swim for 15–30 minutes depending on rainfall. If you’re into a quick but unforgettable outdoor escape, Snake Gorge in Oman is an absolute must! https://maps.app.goo.gl/6DJ2JEUTBLnh4oDo8 PS. preparing kids for Salalah trip XD

Looking forward! Always fun drives when Ale is leading! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
