Thankyou everyone for being on time today. It was surely a hot one 🥵 We got our briefing underway at 14:00 on schedule under the only tree nearby... @Ale Vallecchi @ChrisW and @Aser laid down the expectations... Don't turn a refusal into a stuck, no overtaking, and no stopping as we had a lot of ground to cover. Our convoy lept into action picking a slow but steady path through the debris field by riding high on ridges and avoiding as much of the vegetation as possible... As we moved towards the fence, the terrain started opening up allowing for some nice high ridge riding and criss cross maneuvers across the dunes. Next we pushed south crossing ridge after ridge to get around the fence zone and head into the 'even bigger dunes' section that had us looping around and through giant behemoths with the farms in the distance to give the height done perspective. We were making pretty good time at this point, but normally convoys slow down after the first break...... NOT US! We turned the pace UP and started heading south west to find the construction road which let us cut up towards the sabkhas, but instead of cheating and making up speed in the flats... MORE RIDGES AND DUNES 😎 As we entered the faya/khatm small technical dune zone, we unfortunately lost @diego and @aser to passenger sickness as they had to take an exit. Thanks @aser for making sure everyone got out ok! The rest of us pushed along the fence and finally got the days reward... The completely untouched long range dunes of Faya... Ridge riding, Sidies and smiles were the order for this section, playing freely until we started losing the sunlight and had to take the track home to exit. We covered 75km in 3:45. That's excellent pace for a FB drive, and everyone handled the terrain perfectly. Thanks @Ale Vallecchi for finessing my lines, and to all of you for the great end to the weekend. @Steve Farmer @Krinesh @ChrisW @Diego @Zsolt @Aser @Sam Selim and our trusty sweep @Glenn W 👏👏👏👏 See you all again soon!

Our desert drive at Badayer was an absolute treat, thanks to @Ishak fantastic leadership. Even though the climate was still on the hotter side we know cooler weather is just around the corner. @Carnity legacy is surely being in good hands. @Gaurav @Frederic @Gaurav Soni@Looper your mentorship has been visibly amazing in @Ishak selecting smooth and well thought out lines across the dunes. @Mike M.@Aser@Alexanderrrdid excellent watching over the convoy, ensuring everything ran seamlessly. The convoy itself performed brilliantly. There were no stucks at all, which speaks volumes about the coordination, communication, and driving standards of the group. Altogether, it was a smooth, enjoyable, and memorable morning in the desert. Looking ahead to a great season ahead.

Hi Fred, that air pressure gauge and connection is mine.

Thanks again to everyone who joined! Everyone drove fantastic this morning. Without he support of @Ishak and @Imran Asghar, and @Frans M as my superb second lead, this would not have been possible. Feel free to upload your photos in our drive gallery: Newbie - Surrounding The Solar Park - Dubai - 28 Sep 2025 - Carnity.com PS I found a 4 in 1 hose inflator manifold gauge at the inflation point. If it belongs to you let me know on Whatsapp: ZERO FIVE SIX - FIVE ZERO FOUR - TWO SIX THREE TWO. @Frans M might be yours as you have similar system.

Had a blast!!!!!! Thanks everyone! I stuck a few Al Qudra bird pics I took in the gallery

Please see convoy attached. We will use channel 8 (446.181-25)

Ok. Let's keep the secret garden a secret! Don't tell anyone about the awesome vegetation free terrain we got today! (For the most part!) We started with a briefing by the trees, before heading into the sand. The mission: flatten every ridge we could find in QUDRA! I think we did a pretty good job, covered 40km in some beautiful terrain. Towards the second half the sand was becoming very hard to read as the sun was rising and us heading west, but we made it through! Everyone drove like a champion, was some great practise at hugging ridges and riding them as long as we could. Thanks for helping with recoveries @Imran Asghar @J-P L Looking forward to seeing you again in QUDRA sometime @DP1011 @Kashx2 @Dipu Francis @Krinesh @Zsolt @JC_E @Jeandre Bezuidenhout @Nizar Shawwa @Faraz94 We made quite a spaghetti map 🥰

Hello Fredie, i am backing out. My car is showing some warning in the dashboard and a noise. See you next week
