  4. @Wrangeld did not feel like you were leading in Liwa for the 1st time,felt always confident and comfortable,the drive was perfectly balanced with unlimited fun and excitement I must say i am still having an hangover of the drive😅,it felt like we were driving in Mars, never in my life i have seen such big dunes as daniel said would not be afraid of any big dunes 😎 in future @Pacific excellent 2nd lead and @Jeepie was rock solid guiding us @Niki thank you for helping me self recover and continous encouragement @AlexM@Daniel Rodas @Vaibhav felt always confident along with you guyz what an amazing conveyor Would be looking forward to drive with the same group in near future

  5. I trully have great appretiation for @Wrangeld, @Jeepie, @Pacific and @Niki, and of course my fellow convoy mates @Waqas Parvezand @AlexM I do not remeber a day that I drove that much since my college times And what a great statement for what @Carnityis, such a variety of terrains, leadership styles and skill levels makes any new drive a trully unique learning experience, always with with a new trick or challenge to make the drivers more skilled or confortable with these new situations. Fear of heights? Go to Liwa then problem solved 🤣 A say from friends who are into sailing works well to describe what I feel after this drive... "A superior captain uses his superior judgment to avoid situations which require the use of his superior skill" I do believe we are all being led to become superior "captains" one day... thanks folks!

  6. Simply the greatest drive I have personally experienced with Carnity! @Wrangeld I know you left tired, drained mentally and physically, however, all the care you put in paid off! THANKYOU! brilliant convoy - any stucks were all masterfully self recovered, patience and good humor throughout! thank you @Pacific @Vaibhav @Waqas Parvez @Daniel Rodas @AlexM and @Jeepie for making this such a special trip! @Srikumar I apologize for not keeping to my word and staying back post drive- I finished on such a high that it felt best to use that energy to ride home in daylight! safe and fun day 2 drives for those still there in Liwa

  7. Beautiful foggy morning, some of the most amazing dunes in UAE and a fantastic convoy - In my books that's a perfect day out. Liwa is an experience in itself that every offroader should visit from time to time. It sets the bar interms of having the most majestic dunes while reminding us at every step with it's powder soft sand that this is a terrain that one must respect, else you will be sucked in at the slightest mistake. With @topgear as my second lead and the amazing @Anish S in sweep we had a lot of experience at the two ends of the convoy. Ofcourse going to Liwa and coming completely unscathed is wishful thinking. Just when I was saying to myself that we have had a smooth drive, @Derius Olivier informed on the radio that he hit a bump and his car is overheating. A quick inspection and we found that the radiator hose had come off. After letting the car cool for a while and topping it with 17 litres of coolant and water, the car was still overheating. That's when we realised that the clutch fan was not rotating. Despite a lot of efforts we couldn't identify what was the core cause for the fan not to rotate. @Anish S felt that the fan was stuck to something, but as we were very close to YT, we felt that let's get the rest of the convoy to YT, and then come back to analyze the situation. At YT, we met @Asif Hussain's Newbie convoy. After a bit if playing around at YT with photo sessions, we went back to have a look at the LR3. After attempts by everyone, we needed a miracle to get that car out. That's when @Asif Hussain was able to free up the clutch fan which got stuck badly to lower shroud due to the plastic melting. That was such a relief to entire convoy and particularly to @Derius Olivier. Thank you Asif bhai for the moment of brilliance. With the sun setting in. A couple of hours it was a race to get to the track within daylight. The route from YT to the exit is full of steep drops and it was a challenge to get the entire convoy out quickly and in the safest possible manner. @Ali Shah @Adnan Halepota @Derius Olivier @Karthik Raptor you guys deserve a huge round of applause for keeping your cool, listening to instructions and driving so well in such a terrain. Hats off!! After this experience, I am sure you would have grown in so much confidence. Big thanks to @topgear for being an excellent second lead, and helping reroute the convoy as needed. And finally a big shout out to @Anish S who was there at every step of the way helping with tuges, shovels, etc. Thank you buddy for the amazing and wonderful support. That ends this episode of the Liwa adventure. Till we meet again on the beautiful sands, take care. Please post your pics on the gallery.

  14. What an incredible and truly amazing experience!!! Perfect weather, breath-taking landscape, great convoy team, led fabulous Carnity leads. They are truly professionals, humble and have a never say die attitude even in challenging situations. @Srikumar and @Anish Shad a busy day, thank you for your exceptional skills and patience leading the convoy in & out of Liwa. Lot of other off-roaders whom I know outside this club were surprised to hear that Carnity are taking newbies to Liwa, so well done guys! @Asif Hussain & @Chaitanya D, you were brilliant in helping to fix the LR3 and get it out safely on its own wheels. On the way back, it was a treat to my eyes watching your convoy from a distance doing some awesome descents, was simply wow!! Look forward to joining your lead drives very soon. At the end of a long day, it was perfect way to wind down by camping with some of the other leads and senior off-roaders, hearing their stories and bit of 'entertainment' 😃. Can't Wait for the next big expedition.✌️

  22. I would advise you to come alone on your first drive, especially if you don't have any previous experience. The less distraction in the car, the better. You can bring your family on your next drive if you want.
