@ChrisW thanks for leading todayβs trip! It was great to drive the route in the opposite direction (west). @JC_E, @Zsolt and @Hani crest king thanks for your excellent support. It was a pleasure driving and chatting with you all. See you soon in the sand! Piotr4 points -

And a big thank you to you as well @ChrisW, for jumping in at short notice while Luke is slacking off π to make sure we could still enjoy a great Sunday morning in the dunes. Always great fun going out with you.4 points -

Thank you for taking the convoy this morning @ChrisW, Ill have to wait till Wednesday night to meet the Aussie legend @_luke_. Today was a good mix with alot of fun with the baja bits. Although my driving is improving it was still me who had to get a tug or two, the first not giving enough gas to climb a hill following a dip, and the second getting plomped on a bushel - someone had to provide the entertainment . Thank you @JC_E for the pull, the wildebeest is not as light as you thought hey.4 points -

Agree with all the comments above! Well Done @J-P L it was a real pleasure to be part of your 1st partial lead. You did really well, especially with the pacing of the drive to the level of the members joining. We started in the extended secret garden area, discovering a good mix of technical dunes, very soft patches and some flowing ridges, a very good hour spent in an area that is not driven much. We then proceeded to the secret garden proper and had a blast hunting down ridge after ridge, while trying to keep up with the Jack Russel of the car world. Everyone drove extremely well making it a true flowing drive. Big thanks to @Mahesh_, @Andrei S and @Zsolt for providing exceptional support.4 points -

Thank you @Andrew John Melvill for organising a great drive this morning and congratulations to @J-P L for delivering a textbook first partial lead! This was one of my top drives with Carnity thus far. @J-P L your pace was spot on, giving us a good mix of technical, ridges, and flowing bits! The convoy was able to keep steady spacings behind you and we never felt we had to rush to keep up or slow down unnecessarily before obstacles. You provided regular short breaks (which was fantastic), and kept the convoy on its toes, so much so that time just flew by. I cannot commend you enough on how good this drive was, keep it up and we look forward to joining one of your leads again.4 points -

@ChrisW - thank you for jumping in for @_luke_ (hope you got home without further delays) - and taking us through the dunes in the opposite direction, so we could learn the different techniques of driving with/against the Sun. I really enjoyed the drive yesterday with the various terrains and speeds. Everyone drove really well, good to see the learning, techniques and confidence coming together enabling us to do such enjoyable drives! P.s - @Piotr., we also tested today the importance of having eyes all around ππ Got home almost at 20:00 after the afternoon drive, so clearly had a βfrom dawn till duskβ drive yesterday π€ͺ3 points -

Thanks @Frederic118, @Sheho, @Sandeep Padhi, @DP1011, @Hartzel and @khurramm for a wonderful morning in the sand. And for all being ready to go well before briefing time! We started in the lovely Lisaili dunes, learning to control fish tailing on some long range sidies. Then we moved onto the extended secret garden having some fun in the technical dunes and some seriously soft patches. DP and the FB+ boys showing off with some ridge riding! Lastly we entered the secret garden proper for some flowing runs through the clean dunes. With a stop to practise self recovery and shoveling masterclass. Thanks DP for getting crested so well, wheel in the air and all. After that a short drive to the exit point. Lastly well done @Frederic118 for your 1st time as 2nd lead, you did well keeping good distance and comms.3 points -

Thanks @Mark Bfor an awesome morning... Lots of learning - especially getting the hang of taller dunes and ridges - how to get on to them better.. reattempting and choosing lines based on momentum, and using a bit of steering left right to gain traction in heavily used tracks... And what lovely views... Thanks @Danie, @Thomas54675for the support in getting out of the bowl... See you all in the sand soon.3 points -

An early morning start, after fuel and coffee stop I was overtaken by @M.Seidam on to road to faqa, a nice suprise for the day! Good to see you again. Thanks to @Sam Selim for leading us through the sands, some great lines and good tuition for the newbies thrown in too! @JeromeFJ great to see you again too, look forward to joining one of your drives soon @Sergio del Rio our star of the day and first fewbie for you, you drove very well. As I said at the start, it's always better to loop and re attempt as it allows you to have a second go, adjust and get the maximum learning rather than just powering through. You took the advice and executed a perfect loop and re attempt early on, and after that, driving like a seasoned fewbie, well done sir! @jamil abdollah the ranger raptor is one of the best new cars in the desert I think. Good driving and some nice lines, well done. @khurramm was great to meet you. As we said, following you reminded me of the many drives behind @Islam Soliman old GMC Yukon. Very well controlled, but don't be afraid to take a slightly higher line to ensure you get fully on top or the ridge to avoid gravity dragging you down. @M.Seidam thanks for joining us and being are sweep for the morning. See you all again soon!3 points -

Hi all, @JeromeFJ, @Sergio del Rio, @jamil abdollah, @Praveen - Raptor Runner, @khurramm & @Rob S Thanks you for signing up for this drive. Please find convoy order below, we will be using radio CH2 (446.031). Let's aim to start rolling by 7am so please arrive earlier to give yourself enough time to deflate and prep. I look forward to seeing you all tomorrow!3 points -

Good afternoon @Waqarγ €@Luis Acostamadiedo@Igor Krezic@Harish M@J-P L@Jessica Arro@Mohammad Javed@Mark J@Rachid@Stephan Guglieri@Simon Thomas@JC_E For the newcomers in our club Luis and Igor, welcome to Carnity Offroad Club! We are planning on an easygoing track that brings us from Murquab southwards until we reach the Solar Park, which could be a good opportunity to take some photos. From there we will head up North with the plan of exiting nearby the well know three trees. Some small pointers for tomorrow: * Try to arrive by 6.45AM so you have time to deflate and set up your offroad flag. * Upon arrival you can deflate to 14psi. If you need any help we will be glad to help. * We will use Carnity Channel 10: 446.231Mhz on the walkie talkies. If you do not have a radio yet we can lend you one for your first drive. See you all in the morning! Vanessa3 points -

Thank you @Looper for a great drive this morning! The wet sand and mud gave the desert a whole new character, yet you led the convoy smoothly all the way to Big Red. Thank you for your kind words and for saying I'm ready for the next level. Hearing that from you means a lot. Your drives have taught me so much, from reading the dunes to keeping the right spacing, and I'm excited for what comes next. Thanks as well for letting us help the Porsche. It was valuable recovery practice for me, and I appreciate the lesson behind your comment: rushing to help can give people false confidence. The desert should never be taken lightly, especially without the right car setup, equipment, knowledge and support. A big thank you to @Shiju Raju, @Zulfikhar Naiyar and @Andrei S for their support throughout the morning and to everyone who joined the drive. Also, the drive report with the convoy, map and speed chart is excellent! Looking forward to the next one.2 points -

Temperature outside was 19Β° when I reached the meeting point. It was also slightly foggy. The ground seemed wet from the dew or rain from last night. It ended up being a muddy drive. The convoy moved swiftly. In the middle we made some changes to the convoy order, so that everyone is stacked up perfectly. Annoyingly someone on a Porche Cayan interjected himself into the convoy one dune before Big Red and after a while gotten himself stuck. @Andrei S, @Zulfikhar Naiyar & @Rachid recovered him. I would have left him to struggle a bit longer before helping. They should face the consequences of stupidity. I wouldnβt have made them feel help is at hand because that will give them false confidence of doing it again. I couldn't drive very slowly, because my car was making some noise in low RPM and was not getting the power in the low end. So the drive was a bit faster for few than they would have liked. I tried to keep it to the minimum possible. @Shiju Raju: You were a perfect second lead today. Keeping adequate distance. @Rory Noone: Congratulations on your first drive with Carnity. You did very well, and you passed the Carnity test with flying colors thrown at you by Andrie. Your hesitation from the start of the drive was gone by the break time and I could see you doing quite well. @Mohammad Javed: It was our second drive together and I see you as a confident driver. @Harish M: After we upped your convoy order a bit you did fantastic. Your hesitation was gone and you could navigate all the twists and turns I offered confidently. @Rachid: You are ready to take on the next level. A big thank you to @Zulfikhar Naiyar at the center forward and @Andrei S at the sweep for all the support. I would appreciate all yours' feedback on the drive. See you all in the next one. Till then take care.2 points -

Thanks for the kind words! Really enjoyed my first Fewbie drive, and your advice made a big difference. That loop and reattempt was a great lessonβsometimes going round twice is part of the fun! π Big thanks to @Sam Selim for leading us through some brilliant lines and to @M.Seidam for looking after us at the back. And thanks to everyone in the convoy for the company, support and encouragement! Still plenty to learn, but this was a fantastic way to start. Looking forward to sharing the sand with you all again soon! ποΈπ2 points -

It was cool in the morning around 20Β°C, it did not last too long though. The entire track was busy and was difficult to find any place we could do stunts. All that I could do is find clean dune tops to keep driving at a steady pace. The convoy kept up with the pace though out and we had only few easy refusals throughout. At about 9:20 we reached the fox hole. We restarted at 9:30 with a target to get out by 10:00. But unfortunately we had a pop out and we had to replace the spare tire. Thank you @Mahmut, @Noufal, @Krinesh, @Beide Worku and @Emanuel for joining the drive. Congratulations @Noufal on your first IM Drive. Special thanks to @Mahmut for the excellent second lead and @Emanuel for your support at the back. See you all soon. Till next time have great weekend.2 points -

A couple pics from the back! A fun drive in some familiar terrain that always seems to be so different during the night. Under the bright light of the moon including the occasional flashes of lightning (let's keep it to that and don't even consider other things going on in the region) it as a great view watching the convoy serpenting through the Sharjah desert from behind! Sand, learning opportunities and chai, what else does on need on a Wednesday evening!!2 points -

Thank you @Sam Selim for another Coffee Club night out, with the cooling air it is really enjoyable. Also thank you for allowing me the opportunity to practise giving some support, and for @Pierre-andre Nutte who gave me those chances. The take-away is to keep instructions short and simple, so it is clear to the person receiving them, and helps avoid cognitive overload. It amazes me how quickly our skills improve in the desert. Congratulations @Pierre-andre Nutte on your first FB drive and what a privilege for you as a father to have your son join in your adventure.2 points -

Thanks to all who attended my first partial lead drive, and especially @Andrew John Melvill for offering to keep an eye on me as second lead. we started out in the South Western part of secret dunes, between the pylon track and love lake to the right. The evening before recce helped us select a better entry point, clean longitudinal dunes slightly more technical with a few soft patches to sink the complacent. Then headed east to the sabhka and back the pylon track to enter secret dunes from the east. the convoy did really well, so we kept a good pace and upped the speed every now and again. The support team did well guiding out the few refusals. A good drive we covered 57m2 points -

Good Morning @Frederic118, @Sheho and @Sandeep Padhi thanks for joining this drive. Please be at the Lisaili meeting point in time to be ready for a 07h00 briefing. With a short convoy we should be able to get some good distance covered and truly enjoy the variety of terrain that this area of the desert offers. Convoy order is as follows and I plan on using channel 10 on the radios.1 point -

Flipping brilliant drive today, 1st half was more like a safari than dune bashing and the 2nd half was brilliant, clean dunes and easy enough to enjoy! Thanks once again! Excellent lead work and pace by all. I've so far avoided the tow rope of shame although I think we got pretty close today after the bronco tried to do a handstand! 4Lo and all the diffs locked for the win! Obligatory self indulgent shot because why not! π€£π1 point -
