Thankyou so for being on time. I had a great time tearing through khatim in the darkness.. I feel like we looped around and got nearly every ridge frommboth sides and both directions.. The pace was fast all night 💪💪 We had a little bother with crosstracks and some vegetation towards the end whilst exploring the south east of khatim, but eventually found a couple of big dunes to play on just before exiting. Congrats on completing your first FB+ in the dark @Myrko. Great driving from everyone, we had a nice great flowing convoy and covered a heap of ground. @Sam Selim @ChrisW and @GauravSoni thanks for taking on drive duties and helping us move smoothly. @Nizar Shawwa @Diego @Jose Luis Campos great fun to drive you guys tonight as always.

Hi again Jerome. Finally I'm available to attend to the drive. I've RSVP in the list again. Am I still on time?

hi @Frederic , suppose we should arrive at 06:15, unless we need extra long time to deflate, or? "Please try to arrive by 5.15AM so you have time to deflate and we can start the briefing at 6.30AM." cheers zsolt

I will join directly at the gathering point.

Hey there good people - Happy Sunday! My name is Rajeev. I've lived here in Dubai for the last 12 years. Never done any "off-roading" during my time here but have been munching on it for years ... but I hope it's time now! A couple of weeks ago, I set out to look for a "manual" wrangler but soon realized it's easier said than done. Pivoted and took the plunge this weekend - a '23 Rubicon! I'd love to learn the desert and do a few rides. Figured I'd let my stock jeep settle in for a few 100Ks before signing up for a course with you good Carnity people! Been reading through some of the posts here - and excited! I hope I do run into some of you at some point. -Rajeev

Sad to see you go @Davie Smooth_Operator. I've had two drives under you and they were a total blast :)) All the best !!

@Davie Smooth_Operator It was always a pleasure to be with you in convoy! thanks for advices, for nice drives when you led and when you support! Hope life will cross our routes not once in future for cup of coffee or tea! 😃

Hi @Gaurav don't know will be several convoys or 1, but put me in newbies please, I'll be on Expedition

Happy to join as well!

Oh my bad! will fix it!

There's an app called liwa sports club that's where you can book tickets and stuff.

Dear @Warbs it's not about sneaking in. It's about potentially getting yourself in trouble if you are not driving on your appointed level. We are not here to restrict you from having fun, but please RSVP for the level you are in to keep it fair and safe for yourself, your convoy members, and the lead. Thanks.

Hi @M.Seidam sorry but I have to pull out from the drive. My car has been in the garage since Tuesday and I thought I was getting back today … but as usual there’s a delay 🤦🏼‍♂️ … so no drives for me this weekend. all the best and have a great night.

@JeromeFJ, unfortunately this was going to be my first long drive but I've had a last minute notice to work this weekend 😞. I'm looking forward to the next one.
