  4. Thank you @Wrangeld for planning this drive. As much as it was frustrating for you to lead in such difficult conditions, we did drive for almost 4 hours and covered 60km in the sand. Maybe we didnโ€™t enjoy the Sweihan dunes properly but it was a very good occasion to work on technics and most important, being focused. Given the nature of the terrain, the convoy did very well and I think we can be proud of ourselves. @Zixuan Huang - Charlie managed the SL position perfectly, reacting to the unexpected terrain - until you had to leave us - hope your power issue will be fixed. @Alexander Holodny and @John Vanderbleek as your 3rd and 4th FB drives, you were totally up to the challenge. @Ben84 you were comfortable in all situations - just look out for bushes when you reverse ๐Ÿ˜… @varunmehndiratta your experience and advice are always very helpfulโ€ฆ oh and your voice, very reassuring ๐ŸŽต Guys in the back didnโ€™t see much of you, but in the mirror you seemed to follow. Great support from @Alex Raptor you're the most qualified to get @Wrangeld out of trouble Hope Abu Dhabi will still give us some nice drives in the future. See you all soon for other adventures. Very cool pics @Alex Raptor and @munkybizness by the way !

  5. @Anoop Nair @Mus_hus78 @Archibald Jurdi @Zed @Hasan Wahlan @Werno @Farouq Owdeh @Ruan van den Heever @JeromeFJ @marks Hi everybody! As I am just informed by other Carnity leaders that the area we plan to drive through tomorrow has been ruined by some construction activities. Therefore, we have to change our route and the meeting point accordingly. The links in the drive post and the calendar have been updated already. Here is the new meet point; https://goo.gl/maps/t6ZTVSxZntj18RtL6 Please confirm when you read this message by writing under this post or react somehow. it is a pity that we have lost a very beautiful area but thanks to Carnity team that we have been informed on time. Hope no more surprise on the route we newly planned.

  6. @Wrangeld i think it was a drive we learnt about leadership and importance of managing risks in an adventure .. we tried still since couldn't find the clear way was really good of you to discuss openly with convoy the plan and options... this is the element of community we are all here in @Carnity for...as always thanks for drive. Another aspect - it's very clear you just can't stay away from me ..in last 5 drives together i have been your second lead, you tried today to move me to Centre and poor chap Charlie had to exit...๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚

  13. Difficult one today, despite the valiant and hard fought efforts of our Lead, the desert has been decimated by bulldozers, carving tracks for the incoming Seismic surveys, a sign of the times I'm afraid. Everyone drove well, showed great team spirit on the occasion it was needed on the side of a bulldozer track, and we were rewarded with some excellent bowls and side slopes towards the end, I have put some photos in the gallery.

  14. Post Drive Report There are some days when you feel you did not do your best as a lead to find a great track, or make it challenging or that you did not impart any real knowledge to the drivers. And there are days like today, when the sand has been damaged beyond reason and it's impossible to find rythym because at every turn you find that there are dangerous tracks created by bulldozers. Simply, the tracks and wake left by it from the bulldozers that have sandalized (vandals in the sand) what was a wonderful area in which we enjoyed playing in Sweihan have made it very difficult to find a line that is safe, fun and flowing. Everything that Sweihan used to be. If you sense in this report frustration and sadness, you'll be right. Leads plan drives based on the expectations we set for the drive (and ourselves) and today ... the plan was thrown out of the window, torn up and shredded into minuscule pieces. This will go down as a we did our best drive. Did our best to cover ground, did out best to side slope, did our best to criss cross and ridge ride. We also did our best to enjoy when we could and the lay bowls were impressive. Thanks all for the patience and understanding, expecially as we needed to exit Charlie along the way. See you soon in the sand.

  25. Yes should be good. Myself and @Jeepie will be checking all cars before the drive . Please bring your radio if you have one. Thanks Kids and family are welcome, of course. But if you have not driven off road before, suggest you to come alone because you will need your full undivided concentration for the entire drive. Can you please confirm front and rear tow or recovery points are available and in good condition
