    Thank you @Sam Selim for the amazing drive! Had an absolute blast. It was my first official support drive and I had a great time got some awesome content and learned a lot along the way! Thanks for the second lead @Gertjan and sweep @Krinesh and everyone who joined and made the drive fun! @Riyad @saumik1989 @Myrko @Gautam Banka @Danie @Chema And of course, the highlight of the day was getting my axle damage inside the double bowl! Somehow made it back home safely! Parts ordered and getting ready for next weekend already! Hopefully, the Ram will be back in action soon! See you all soon! Hereโ€™s the video of just before the axle got damaged!

    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 57m

    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.

    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.

    Honestly I wasnโ€™t enjoying it while it was happening! ๐Ÿ˜‚ The moment I got out of the bowl, I realized how much of a drift it actually was and after watching the video I really like it!! The link! Getting out of the double bowl with 2WD!

    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!

    Good afternoon @Waqarใ…ค@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! Vanessa

    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! ๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿ˜€

A big thank you to our lead @Looperfor setting such a great pace and guiding us so well, to @Sandeep Padhi for the excellent second lead, and to @_Herman_ for the support at the back and all the helpful advice along the way. Great learning experience for me. Looking forward to the next one! ๐Ÿœ๏ธ

    Drive Report: Overall it was a bit of a fast drive for the level, and everyone did very well. Qudra has got greener, but thankfully it still has something left to redeem, with plenty of options to drive on the long ridges. Sandeep @Sandeep Padhi: Big thanks for the second lead. You kept the right distance, drove very nicely, and helped tug Nagarjun out. Please get a kinetic rope and soft shackles, though. Your current ones are for tarmac and not fit for the desert. Rachid @Rachid: Drove very nicely on your Patrol and always looked confident. Javed @Mohammad Javed: Fantastic with his FJ Cruiser. Nagarjun @Nagarjun S: You had some refusals and stucks but managed well towards the end. With more practice you will do much better. Sam @Sam_: Had to exit early as his passenger got sick. Hope to see you soon. Herman @_Herman_: Thanks for the support at the back. I also noticed you explaining a few finer points to Nagarjun. Much appreciated.

    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 lessonโ€”sometimes going round twice is part of the fun! ๐Ÿ˜‚ 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! ๐Ÿœ๏ธ๐Ÿ™Œ

    It was cool in the morning around 20ยฐC, 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.

    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!!

    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.

    Thanks @Looper for a wonderful drive today in Qudra. The desert in this part of Dubai still has charm for offroad enthusiasts. Great lead and it was fun doing the loops ๐Ÿ™‚. I have taken a note with regard to the tow gear and will invest in this soon. Thanks everybody for a wonderful ride and enjoy rest of the weekend ahead!!

    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.
