I did, was still playing while I was airing up 😀

@Ale Vallecchi Hi, just noticed my Pajero exhaust is hanging off the bracket and making noise from scraping on the road bumps. Turning towards the garage to get it mounted back up, don't think I will make it in time. Hope you guys have a good one today!

Dear Desertnauts. A quick briefing before tomorrow's drive. Let's Rock 'n' Roll before the weekend. A fast track, from Lisaili's cleaner dunes to Qudra's Secret Dunes, with a short bushier segment in between. Possibly a little longer than 2 hours, planned to try and stay at around 30 Kms of moving average speed. The soundtrack for the drive will be delivered shortly. It'll start at a leisurely pace and will proceed with a "crescendo". The convoy order will be the following: @frederic demolder in Second Lead @Infaz at #3 @SHIHAN BEARY at #4 @Lazy Frog at#5 @Eddie-Raptor at #6 @J-P L at Center @Noufal at #8 @Yerem Davtyan at #9 @Suneedh Wrangler at #10 @Guido Ferriani at #11 and @Shary in Sweep.

DRIVE DESCRIPTION-WHAT TO EXPECT Very few places on Earth can rival the mesmerizing beauty of Liwa, nestled within the Rub' al Khali, the vast expanse of the Empty Quarter – the largest uninterrupted desert on the planet! Immerse yourself in the raw beauty of nature, far removed from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. Camp beneath a blanket of stars, serenaded by the sounds of the wilderness.

DRIVE DESCRIPTION The Al Fayah region opens up with long corridors of rolling dunes, spaced widely enough to build confidence yet tall enough to demand proper momentum and clean cresting. Fewbie drivers will find a satisfying rhythm here: steady climbs, gentle side‑sloping sections, and broad ridgelines that let you practice reading the sand and choosing smooth exit lines. The terrain is mostly soft but predictable, with plenty of opportunities to refine throttle control and maintain pace without overworking the vehicle. As the route progresses deeper into Al Fayah, the dunes grow sharper and more technical, forming pockets, bowls, and ridges that require deliberate positioning. Drivers will navigate a mix of medium‑height slipfaces and tighter transitions where commitment matters. The landscape rewards those who stay alertp, offering a natural progression from flowing dune travel to more precise, skill‑focused driving. It’s a route that builds capability while still keeping the experience enjoyable and controlled.

Amazing drive. What a way to start the weekend thanks @Ale Vallecchi and team.

I also did it. But the random mode was selected, so the songs were not progressive 🤦

See you tomorrow!

See you tomorrow morning.

@Faraz94 @Sherry Jacob you have been added to the drive list… see you tomorrow at 7 am..

Wishing her all the best for a good recovery @Infaz

@Infaz sorry to hear about your mom, please care for her well, our prayers are with you

Yes @Albert_Spa. You are IN. See you later. Sorry @Infaz for your mom's situation. I wish her all the best !!

Hi @Ale Vallecchi, if there is one free spot, I think I'm the next in the waiting list and I could manage to go. Let me know

@Infaz understood you need to be there and i hope she gets better

Dear Desert Drivers @Ana @Nicholas Hubbard @Piotr1 @DG707 @Sameer D. @Mark B @Taka @CY Bong @Hansmtb @Gaurav Narsinghani Before the drive tomorrow, please make sure your car is ready for the outdoors, and remove unnecessary items from the back seat and trunk areas. Please take the time also to program your radio to the 10 Carnity Frequences if not done already. You can find guidance here if needed. I will indicate by the end of the day the final list and convoy order. Stay tuned and let me know before that in case you changed your plans. Please check your route to reach the meeting point. Coming from Nahel on the E95, about 300m before the final location, you will see a road to your right, with a sign "...Holiday Camp..." Take that road. It is closed by a fence. Reach slowly to the fence, it will open by itself. Then continue until you see the other cars.

Sorry to hear that @Infaz Keeping your mother and your family in my thoughts and hoping for a speedy recover!

Very sorry @Ale Vallecchi, I might not be able to attend. Sorry for canceling at this time. My mother is not well and she’s in the ICU. I have to be around her.

Hi @DG707 Yes, it is fine for Newbie Drive.

Hello @Frederic Sorry, pulling out due to work on the weekend. Was looking forward to go back on sand, drive with @Emily Donovan and see you guys. See you on the next one

Hey @Saniyah welcome to Carnity! Jeff the FJ has been tried and tested so that's fine. See you on Sunday!

Hello, I am Imrans daughter, Im new to off-roading so I’ve watched the video above. Let me know if there’s anything I need to know before the drive!!

Usual monday scenario: during the day: check site, see if descriptions pop up 18:45 final check drives, be hyped up, 18:50 start cooking, concentrate on the task at hand 19:30 yell “Chips and Crackers! The time!” (scaring the dogs and spilling salad dressing in the process) 19:31 conclude F+ drives are full since 19:10 or thereabout

Name of the drive remind me of … This!

I will not be able to sleep early tonight so its better to not join without being focused. I will remove myself.

Very sorry @Luke K P, I might not be able to attend. Sorry for canceling at this time. My mother is not well and she’s in the ICU. I have to be around her.
