Thx @JeromeFJ for the amazing and educational drive. and thank you @Herman G for spotting my flag . That would have been a nice fine 😛

Cheers mate! Have so much on my map I can hardly see it 🤣🤣

Thank you all for joining the drive this morning. We started with a series of large, sweeping dunes that tested both driver control and vehicle power. With a bit of speed, we experienced the effect of gravity pulling us down the steep slopes, emphasizing the importance of maintaining momentum. Careful throttle control and line selection were key to climbing the tall dunes without losing traction. The second part of the drive transitioned into more technical terrain, featuring smaller, sharper dunes and tighter routes that required precision and focus. Toward the end, we reached untouched, virgin dunes — smooth and unmarked, offering a sense of isolation and pure connection with the desert. Driving through these pristine sands was a rewarding conclusion to the journey. The Nahel Desert delivered an excellent off-road experience, combining the thrill of big dune climbs with the skillful navigation of technical terrain. The drive reinforced essential desert driving principles — momentum, control, and respect for the environment — making it both a learning experience and an unforgettable adventure. (partially written with Chatgpt, but is very well reflecting the drive !) Enjoy the rest of the weekend, and see you soon!

I usually steer clear from from the LIWA festival as it’s too loud and too busy for me. I will be traveling in December but will definitely resume the “Untamed LIWA” series in Jan or Feb next year when it’s perfect for cool camping nights 😉

Today is a sad day and a happy one at the same time, the Jeep is SOLD! My beloved Red Rubicon who has been a steadfast companion over four unforgettable years. Together, we conquered 184 thrilling drives with Carnity, beginning with a masterclass led by none other than the legend himself, @Frederic. To leading 74 adventures across the sands as a trip lead, this remarkable machine was more than just a vehicle, it was a partner in every challenge, and every triumph. Crowning it all, a desert championship trophy stands as a testament to the journeys we shared and the milestones we achieved. I am and will be forever grateful for the memories, the lessons, and the legacy we built together. Sad because this is the end of an Era for me personally, as i can no longer lead or indeed drive in the desert and specifically for the club that has been my home for 4 years of off roading @Carnity. Happy because my wonderful companion will still be seen in the desert, it will still be seen at Carnity, and it will assist another newbie to hopefully follow in my footsteps, (and i believe they have already signed up for membership). I really do hope that the new owner gets as much pleasure as i had from the car and i also hope that they do not get the same scares ( @Gaurav you will know what i mean, and anyone else who was on the particular Fb drive i am referring to ) that i also had, although that does make you realize the resilience of the Jeep. I want to extend my deepest thanks to every single member of Carnity that I have had the privilege to drive with as well as the absolute honor to lead over the past few years. The spirit of this club, the camaraderie, coupled with the eagerness to learn have been nothing short of inspiring. I would not trade this experience for anything… except maybe to have started it many years earlier! Thank you all for making this journey truly life changing and unforgettable. Your support and patience as I learned to navigate the sands, assist Carnity's exceptional leads, and eventually step into a lead role myself helping others begin their own desert adventures has meant the world to me. What a journey it’s been. From a humbled student to supporter to leader, every step shaped by the incredible people in this amazing club. As for the club and the trip leads (to many to mention but i will call out @Gaurav, @Frederic and @Srikumar) as you guys have supported me and nurtured me and been the most patient of Owners/Crew that anyone could have wished for. The Club also has many other leads who have helped me become what i hope what an inspiration to others to move along this same path. Bottom line is that Carnity is exceptional in all aspects of what it sets out to achieve, moreover, it fits nicely into my mindset of a structured process driven approach to off roading that nurtures a remarkable safety culture that is outstanding and a pleasure to be a part of. Thank you to all the Carnity Trip leads both experienced and up and coming you all make the club what it is. Nothing else to say really except i will miss you all and i hope that if i am ever in Dubai i may get a hired Jeep and may if allowed join a drive as a flying sweep Heres hoping See you all somewhere someday

Every offroad convoy has to follow these rules to keep moving the whole convoy safely at all times: Follow the car in front of you all the time. And also follow the path taken by that car (STRICTLY), until you learn to lead. As an occasional exception, if you see the car in front of you struggled or churn up the path, it is advisable to drive little left or right and then follow the same path again. Keep 5-10 cars distance all the time. Keeping it too close you will risk an accident and keeping it too long, you will lose the path. If you cannot see the car behind you, please stop and notify on the radio so that the leader can stop until they all catch up. Stick to your convoy numbering at all times, if changed due to some situation fall back to the same order as soon as you can but safely. If convoy is not moving due to some stuck / refusal, please be patient and stay safe at your designated position. No playing, side sloping or any breaking the convoy activities will not be tolerated. Radio communication is PRIME, listen and respond to it promptly all the time. Convoy positions Leader: The first car who leads the drive and everyone has to follow the leader instructions precisely with respect. Second lead: The second car in a convoy, who drives behind the leader and avoid or fix any unforeseen situation as it may happen. Everyone in the convoy needs to follow the "second lead" path like a magnet - at all times. Sweep: One or two cars at end of the convoy to help and recover stuck vehicles or advise the correct path after the refusal. Flying Sweep: This car can be anywhere to do the sweep duties of recovering stuck vehicle or coordinating the convoy movement.
