Congratulations @ChrisW for reaching the Expert Level with Carnity Offroad Club. Surely we have all noticed the quiet rise of a titan amongst us. Chris's background in Engineering, Aviation (and so many other lives already lived ), and his time spent in the dunes, resulted in an Expert off-roader who not only loves to coach and get Carnity offroaders surfing on the dunes, but loves to understand the nuts and bolts and intricacies of vehicles, performance, gps analysis and what not. Having said that, his calm demeanor, humility, fine sense of humor, wit, and sarcasm, makes for a fine fellow to spend an evening with around a campfire in the Arabian deserts! We are extremely proud having him amongst our mids and hope for many more seasons in the sand! EXPERT This level will be the most essential in your off-road development as you will start leading and managing drives independently with the support of other senior advisors. And also, you will help in developing new advisors to pass on the knowledge, experience, and skills for managing adventurous yet safer off-road drives. The expert level will offer you continuous improvement in your overall development by alternating between leading and supporting once in a while. This way, you will still learn and advance your knowledge by supporting other trip leads in different terrain to understand the complexity and challenges involved and practicing independent lead and convoy management.

Congratulations @Andrew John Melvill for reaching the Expert Level with Carnity Offroad Club. We have all been amazed with the progress you made. It was clear early on that you were enthusiastic about your new off-roading hobby, but you've been such a consistent part of our off-roading family now, and a fantastic mentor to our members. Your calm demeanour and quick wit is a blessing to have as a lead, and we all feel so well looked after whenever we are on your drives. You absolutely deserve this !
