  1. @Davie Chase @Daniel Rodas @Gregory @Werno @ShereenMK @Tareck @Daniel Yang @Alphin Aloor @Zixuan Huang - Charlie @marks @Dodi Syahdar good evening everybody here is the convoy order for tomorrow; We will be using channel#4 on the radio There is a big muddy pond at our meeting point. go around it to your right to reach the meet point as shown below; We will have a relatively longer track to reach to Faqa so we will try to keep a higher pace to finish it on time. But depending on the performance of the convoy, a slight delay could be expected around 20-30 min though we will try to avoid. Just to consider... See you all in the morning. Do not get stuck in that muddy pond. Play the best "Mannish Boy" song by "Muddy Waters" on the way coming...

  3. Dear Desertnauts, in preparation of tomorrow's drive, a bit of information to enjoy the ride as much as possible. The meeting point has been set just beyond the exit of Al Qudra's Last Exit ADNOC station, to the left of the short stretch leading back to the roundabout. This will allow us 1) to stay away from, and not get confused with, two more Carnity convoys meeting at Bab al Shams track, 2) to deflate near available services where we could quickly dry ourselves up in case of rain, and 3) include the crossing of western Qudra's long range dunes to our itinerary, in the direction of Ghantoot. Having already answered the question of whether we'll be driving in case of rain (with a yes, we will), just consider perhaps a slightly higher deflation point for your tires (still better not above 15 PSI), as the sand may still be harder and more compact than usually. Once reached the meeting point, you may start deflating, and tune into Carnity Channel #3 (446.056). The convoy order, at the moment, will be the following: @Alexanderrr in Second Lead @Sudhanva Sonawane at #3 @Simon Dawood will be #4 @Rob S #5 @Harshad Ashraf will drive at #6 @Karthik Raptor at #7 @Waqas Parvez is going to be #8 @Miamimoe at #9 @KAMALIO will be #10 @Reggie Landicho #11, with @Niki sweeping the convoy. We'll be driving across mostly long range dunes, with some technical areas to cross, with the goal of reaching the date palm trees (some solitary, some growing in small groves), toward the border with AD (which we are NOT planning to cross), before deciding where to exit. Enjoy the end of the week, and see you tomorrow.

  7. @Gaurav Bhai, Installed today Skid plate along with radiator protective bracket. 10mm Compressor, flag, Tyre pressure gauge and other essential stuff will get it tomorrow. Very Important for all X-Terra owners from 2006-2015 2gen. must install the skid plate with bracket because X-Terra having the radiator at the nose, just behind the bumper. suppose if you going down on steep dune and found just 20 Degree angle or sudden pocket to clip on then your front bumper and radiator may get damage badly. The skid plate and radiator bracket will protect you from this situation and you can bash the dune perfectly without the stuck.

  8. From Red to Yellow - Margham Bowls to Faqa - Drive Report "As you start to walk, the way appears" - Rumi In an episode of the Netflix series "The Crown", King George VI, father of Elizabeth II, waking up a groggy soon to be Prince Philip, cheerly open the curtains on a cold, rainy dawn, and proclaims: "Wonderful morning for ducks!!". Well, last Friday, it truly was a "wonderful morning for ducks", where ducks stands for "desert driving on packed wet sand, through a web of crazy technical dunes" šŸ˜. Funny how someone's most uncomfortable conditions become others most cherished opportunities. Indeed, it turned out to be a virtually perfect drive, with an exceptionally performing convoy, moving at unison from the red bowls of Margham village (those looking toward Tawi Nizwa, Big Red and Badayer), through Lisaili, all the way to Faqa. The drive consisted of three sets of long range dunes - the first, embedded within the low sand bowls of Margham, the second just after entering Lisaili, and the final set from the Chimney to Faqa's sabkha - , alternated with two sets of technical terrains - one leading to Lisaili and just past its pylon line, the second one from Lisaili to the Chimney. Especially the technical areas, and partially the red sand bowls of Margham's, were driven with a very loose driving plan, mostly based on visual orienteering, with the laissez-fair attitude of "let's see what comes next", well embodied by the above mentioned poem by Rumi. Concentration was utmost throughout the drive. In the technical area, expediency was possible thanks to the decision to ride all the ridges, even when it meant snaking around with a lot of steering, instead of going straight through the dunes, with the advantage of the crests being duller, and wider, due to the late rains, thus more steadily ridable, with the only disadvantage being that some of the crests were quite broken due to sand erosion, thus requiring some early exits, or taking them at a slower pace. Thanks to this improvised strategy, we ended up finishing the drive with perfect timing, no stucks, and only one re-attempt throughout the whole itinerary. @Ranjan Das was an impeccable Second Lead, followed by @Xavier Treasurer and @siddharth maheshwari. @Alain Canivet-Abikhalil anchored the convoy, ahead of @Sunil Mathew, @Looper, @Ashok chaturvedi and @Thomas Varghese, with @Jorge Stepniak Felippe closing the convoy, with perhaps the cleanest sweep ever. Together, we covered 90.1 Km, in 3:16 driving time (3:47 hours overall, including only refreshment breaks), at the very fast pace of 28 Km/h moving average speed (considering the amount of technical driving). Great, exemplary driving by everyone. Hope to see you soon in the sand.

  31. Thanks @Rizwanm2! We did go on 11th June 2021 last year led by Fred, supported by Sri & Asif... it was also a Fewbie drive, but I think more of an "upgraded Fewbie" šŸ˜‚ Somebody got 2 pop-outs; someone's exhaust fell off; someone almost broke a diff or something; someone was almost stuck in the bowl since he kept on looping & looping but not reaching the top exit šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚ It was so tense that there were not much pics nor videos uploaded to the gallery https://carnity.com/gallery/category/796-fewbie-sweihan-abu-dhabi-11-jun-2021 , but thanks for your Videos, now i can be nostalgic and cherish those bowl-looping moments šŸ‘
