DRIVE SUMMARY We came early, and we came ready. From the start, we were spotting everything — every promising line, every crest, every ridge worth taking. By the end of the drive, it felt like every ridgeline had been marked. There was a little bit of shovelling along the way ,😅 just enough to keep things honest, but mostly it was a morning of good lines, good driving and plenty of laughs. A bit of digging. A lot of ridges. A lot of fun. Enjoyed it all. See you again next time! @Andrew John Melvill @_Herman_ @Infaz @Krinesh @Diego4 points -

untilDRIVE DETAILS Ever driven in Niqa Al Dheeb? Me either. This one is exploratory by design. I’ve spent some time scouting the area from satellite imagery, picking out what looks like promising terrain — now it’s time to find out what’s actually waiting for us on the ground. The mission is simple: explore, map and unlock new areas for future play. It could be full of vegetation, dead ends and awkward terrain. Or we might stumble across kilometres of untouched ridgelines just waiting to be driven. There’s only one way to find out. Expect scouting, backtracking, rerouting and plenty of figuring things out as we go. Together, we’ll push into unfamiliar territory, establish the limits of the area and see what Niqa Al Dheeb has to offer. No established route. No expectations. Just exploration.

Congratulations @Frans M on reaching the Advisor Level with Carnity Offroad Club! Dear Frans, you have shown to be cool as a cucumber, yet warm as a person. Your technical skills will come in handy but more than anything your leadership will ensure many people will happily follow you through the various deserts we have in the UAE! @Ale Vallecchi will be your Professor taking you through the leaders lead sessions that will be organized soon! 🧑🏫 🏅 Advisor Level The Advisor Level is the cornerstone of Team Carnity’s structure. Even as you progress to higher ranks, you will always remain an Advisor first. This role is about constructively helping, supporting, and advising others with mutual respect as part of our multicultural family. Advisors are encouraged to share ideas, ask questions, and exchange views at any level - always respectfully, professionally, and confidentially for internal use. This is the stage where your biggest transformation begins - from skilled off-roader to capable leader. 📌 Leaders Lead Session At this level, you’ll join the exclusive Leaders Lead sessions - an intensive program with homework and pre-drive preparation. These sessions, conducted by Crew members for a select few Advisors, cover: Advanced Sand Reading & Planning – terrain assessment, level setting, and emergency exits. Navigational Leadership – using software to manage and scale convoy leads. Extreme Convoy Management – leading, recovering, and handling convoys in the toughest UAE deserts. This is exclusive, invaluable training available only to Advisors. 🚙 Path to Expert Level Once you’ve completed the three steps above, you’ll be eligible to start leading under supervision: Minimum 2 partial leads in daytime Fewbie drives (under Expert/Marshal/Crew supervision). Minimum 4 full Fewbie leads planned, posted, and executed (Expert/Marshal/Crew supervision). You may take on additional partial or full leads if you’d like more time to build confidence. Upon successfully completing this journey, you’ll qualify for Expert promotion - a milestone that marks the beginning of your leadership legacy.1 point

Thank you so much Frederic for your kind words and congratulations! I really appreciate all the support and guidance from you and the Carnity Offroad Club. I’ve learned a lot from the trips and the experience shared by everyone, and I’m looking forward to improving my skills further, exploring more, and hopefully helping others along the way. I’ll definitely make sure my profile, emergency contact details, and required off-road gear are always up to date. Thank you again for the support and for making every off-road experience enjoyable and safe!1 point

Selling my 2012 GMC Yukon SLT, aka the “Black Beast”. Many Carnity members have seen this car on desert drives over the years. It has been used off-road, but maintained properly and never treated as a disposable desert toy. The Yukon originally came with the 5.3L V8 and is now running a 6.2L V8 with the 6-speed 6L80 automatic transmission. The transmission shift points have also been tuned, making the gear changes quicker, smoother and much more responsive, especially in the desert. Some of the upgrades / features include: 6.2L V8 engine Tuned transmission shift points Android head unit with Car Scanner Strands LED light bar Additional fog / auxiliary lights Flag mount Desert-ready setup 270amp alternator 265/70R17 Yokohama Geolandar A/T G015 tyres (4+1) It has also been used as our backup family / school car, so it is not a stripped-out off-road build and remains perfectly usable as a daily SUV. I’m selling it simply because I don’t have enough time to use it anymore, especially since I have another off-road car now. It is an older Yukon and it has seen the desert, so I’m not going to describe it as “like new”. But it is a proper, capable truck with a lot of character, and I would much rather see it go to someone who understands these cars than spend the rest of its life driving between a basement parking and Business Bay.1 point

@J-P L totaly deserved, you have become an absolute stalwart of the club, driving more than anyone. Your skills and calm nature has been the backbone of so many drives. Really looking forward to many drives under your lead.1 point

Selamat pak @Frans M on your well-deserved promotion to Advisor level. langsung gas BBQ 🤣. Throughout many drives, you've always been someone people can rely on, bringing a great combination of technical expertise, sound judgment, and a calm presence in challenging situations. One memorable example was the Green Jeep rollover recovery in Nahil, where your calm and firm approach, combined with your excellent technical skills, helped manage the situation safely and effectively. Your ability to stay composed under pressure and make the right decisions is something that inspires confidence in everyone around you. I have no doubt that these qualities will make you an outstanding Advisor and convoy leader. Looking forward to drive under your lead 🫡.1 point
