    This will be one of my favorite drives, not because of the pace, not because of the track, not because of the weather or the fun we had while driving, neither because of the dunes BUT for one simple reason: the club truly stands for TEAM SPIRIT Every member who joined today became a support member at some point—helping through the pop-outs, tackling crests that needed shoveling, and managing the car breakdown. Even when we offered a smaller convoy so people could leave on time while we assisted the broken-down car, not a single person wanted to leave anyone behind. It reinforced exactly what we stand for: we go as one team, and we exit as one team. Thank you all for demonstrating this spirit. I look forward to seeing everyone again soon! @Gaurav Soni @Looper @Andrew John Melvill @Infaz @Amer Alsabbagh @Kishor @Sheho @Rashid Alseeni @Enrico - Mountain ! @Rashid Alseeni - you dont need to be sorry for today, it can happen with anyone of us and glad that we were all out safe and hope your car is fixed soon and see you soon ! We all learn everyday !

    No worries @Rashid Alseeni! These things happen! That’s all part of offroading. Good to see everyone helping each other out. That’s what Carnity is all about! Hope you get the car sorted soon and see you back in the dunes again. Thank you, @DP1011, for organizing the drive!! Amazing convoy today! We had a bit of everything, from a couple of pop outs to a car breakdown! That’s what this sport is all about learning from every experience! helping each other out and coming out stronger as a team!! Thank you to the support team, @Andrew John Melvill @Gaurav Soniand @Looper for all the guidance and support throughout the drive. It was a pleasure driving with you all!

    Thank you, everyone, for today’s drive and for making me feel welcome on my first drive back with Carnity after three years away! I was definitely a little rusty, especially with the ridge riding, and struggled to keep up at times. I really appreciate everyone’s patience while I found my rhythm again. It was a learning experience, and I took a lot away from it. Unfortunately, near the end, what appeared to be a seized alternator left my car unable to continue. A special thank you to @DP1011 for being so supportive throughout, @Infaz for pulling me out with his Ram, and @Gaurav for taking the wheel of my car and getting it safely out. I’m very grateful to everyone who stayed and helped. I felt bad for holding the group up, especially on my first drive back, but your support reminded me why I wanted to return to this community. Hopefully, I’ll see you all again soon with the car sorted and a little more confidence! 🙏

    Today was a great day of Carnity desert off-roading! Thank you @DP1011 for organising a great drive with a fantastic support team (which was everyone on the drive). The event that happened twice ('popouts') is the thing we shall not mention, as it seems speaking about it only makes it a reality - a mistake I made last week, and a hypothesis we confirmed today. Glad to have been able to assist with my Air Jack and @Gaurav Soni for demonstrating how to use it so effectively, he even gave me a second opportunity to practice on 'purpose'. Everyone drove so well, especially when tackling the longer flowing dunes and ridges! But the key take-away today is the Carnity Club spirit and comradery that turns every trip into a life-long memory. I uploaded a few pictures to today's gallery.

    Hey guys, It was great seeing you all again this morning for our drive in the desert. As I mentioned, this was my first newbie drive as well (...as lead!), and I couldn't have asked for a better group. We started out initially moving slightly to the west, before turning back towards the east and heading into the sun. The initial dunes were flat and open, moving into slightly more technical areas which required precise steering, use of momentum and power. We had a few minor refusals and one stuck - all easily dealt with and a good way to build experience of how to move our cars on the sand. We then cruised easily towards the Fox Dens, making a few stops along the way to check tyres and manage a few more refusals. The Fox Dens sadly had no foxes today, but was a nice moment to stop and chat. Thereafter we proceeded east - some larger and more flowing dunes this time where we could practice driving at a slightly higher speed, before joining the "desert highway" and proceeding towards our eventual exit at Tilal. There was some great driving and friendly help towards each other today, which is the ideal environment for us all to be learning in - thank you. For future drives we can focus on finding the right spacing between cars (to allow us to better flow through soft/more complex lines). The level of radio/comms was great, and we even got to practice some more advanced stuff like losing our Sweep... 😉 A quick cut of clips from our drive, and a summary of our route below...see you next time! My thanks again to @Vanessa8580 for smoothing out my lines and helping me pace the drive correctly, and to @Ishak, @Diego and @Imran Asghar for helping to keep the drive flowing.

    We got underway right on time and headed straight for Old Lady Dune. No warm-ups allowed. Straight into switches, climbs and some fun lines to wake everyone up properly. Old Lady was pretty tracked out, which made the south-side climb to the top harder than usual. Rather than keep fighting it, we looped around to the north-west and found a cleaner way up onto the main ridge. From there, we were rewarded with some stunning views and spent a good chunk of the morning riding the ridgeline all the way down. Somewhere along the way, we also picked up a random Nissan who apparently decided to join the convoy and became our unofficial second sweep. 😂 Next up were the big Al Saad power bowls, where we spotted a few foxes and had our first bit of excitement with a pop-out. Plenty of hands made quick work of it, and we were soon moving again. Then it was over to the Three Trees sidie wall, where we spent some time experimenting with different faces, lines and approaches before moving on to our final stop — Nagrah. We climbed it from both sides, enjoyed the views, played around with some sidies, then climbed it again because… why not? From there, we jumped onto the trail and made a fast exit. Excellent driving from everyone throughout. Fast. Fun. Big dunes. Big lines. And more than just a little bit EXTREME. 😎 See you on the next one @_Herman_ @Jerome @Chema @Zsolt @Yury.bel @Abdullah A. @Piotr. @Cristian

    We got an early start, and I immediately set the tone for the evening by getting stuck. Twice. 😅 We spent a fair bit of time looping around the opening section, getting a feel for the terrain and figuring out just how dark things were going to get before pushing on. Apparently we were also a very attractive sight, because the quadwheelers absolutely refused to leave us alone and followed us around for a good chunk of the drive. As the night went on and everyone settled in, we started finding some bigger lines and managed to squeeze in a few properly big sidies toward the end. Then it was time for coffee. Except I forgot the coffee. Thankfully @Alexanderrr came prepared with some Karak, and I managed to salvage the situation with a couple of cans of Nescafé. 😂 A slightly chaotic start, some persistent quadwheelers, big sidies, and improvised coffee. Good night out @Zsolt @MarkH @Thomas54675 @khurram @Sandeep N @Alexanderrr @Giacomo

    RSVP NOW CLOSED @Vanessa8580 @Stephan Guglieri @RickardM @Rachid Elbouabidi @Ishak @Hakan @Nagarjun S @Rasna @Diego @Ana @saumik1989 @Imran Asghar Morning all! Ahead of our drive tomorrow morning I wanted to reconfirm our plans. We will aim to meet at the point below for 06.30 tomorrow morning. When you arrive we will line up on the left side of the track. Please be aware of the speed cameras close to the meet point - they are set at 100kph and it’s Abu Dhabi, so no buffer! https://maps.app.goo.gl/cuTYFzjjs9ZkkJez8?g_st=ic 24.3818030, 54.9872800 I would recommend you do final checks tonight, in particular making sure your car is ready, you have water and snacks packed, you have key equipment (flag, tyre deflation/inflation, shovel etc), and your radio is programmed for Channel 10 (446.231). When you arrive please do go ahead and deflate your tires (around 12-14 PSI should be fine for highway tyres, and you can go a little lower for all terrains), put up your flag and get ready. We will then get together for our briefing. The main goal for tomorrow is to enjoy ourselves in the desert and gain experience of how our cars feel on the sand. We will drive at a level which allows all of us to do this with smiles! I also 100% expect many of us to get stuck occasionally, and that’s totally fine - it’s all part of desert driving and nothing to fear We have some excellent support tomorrow with Vanessa. Ishak, Imran and Diego. Looking forward to seeing you in the morning, and if you have any changes of plan, please do let us know here.

    The weekend is almost here, and I'm getting excited for a Saturday night time session! We're in a deep waning crescent moon right now,.. with moonrise expected around 04:30.. which means it will be dark. DARK DARK. Please remember to bring a torch, and also a camp chair for coffee. We have a strong convoy.. so I think we can expect some sick maneuvers and attempts at fun lines 😎😎 Looking forward to seeing you all! @MarkH @Alexanderrr @Sandeep N @Zsolt @Giacomo @khurramm

    Leading in the desert is one of the most rewarding off-road experiences — blending raw adventure, strategic decision-making, and real-time teamwork in a dynamic and unforgiving environment. In the Leaders Lead – Third & Final Session, you’ll put everything you've learned into action. After mastering convoy management and GPS navigation, this final challenge pushes you to apply your leadership skills in one of the most technical and demanding desert terrains in the UAE. This advanced session is designed to test your capabilities across three critical areas: Mastering Technical Dunes: You'll be leading through intense, no-go-level terrain, where every crest, bowl, and drop demands precise control, route planning, and advanced sand reading skills. This module focuses on driving judgment and maintaining convoy rhythm through the harshest dune structures. Adaptive Leadership Based on Convoy Performance: Learn how to dynamically adjust the drive level in real-time — scaling up when the team is confident and scaling down to ensure safety when needed. This teaches you to interpret convoy synergy, driving skills, and situational readiness without compromising the drive’s flow. Managing Complex Recoveries: You'll face high-risk recovery simulations that test your ability to assess, lead, and execute under pressure. From stuck vehicles in side slopes to near rollovers, you'll learn how to orchestrate safe and efficient solutions using the right tools, communication, and leadership composure. Drive Details Level: Selective Advisors - @J-P L and @Frans M When: 9 October 2026, Friday - Third Session Meeting time: 3.00 PM, (Sharp, without any exceptions) Meeting Point: https://maps.app.goo.gl/ogE8dYKyQssyggrh7 Type of Car: Any proper 4x4 with front and back tow hooks and 8-10 inches of ground clearance. Approximate finish time: 6.30 PM

    Drive Summary We rolled out at 20:00 sharp and started the night on some of the smaller dunes, giving everyone a chance to settle in and get comfortable with sidies and switches in the dark. The FB drivers were looking strong, so before long we picked up the pace and pushed into the larger rollercoaster dunes. That’s where things really came alive. The cars were roaring, the lines got bigger, and it was definitely starting to feel a little more FB+ than FB. Switches. Big sidies. Plenty of speed. And a lot of fun. From there, we started working east toward the ridge-riding section of Khatim, where we enjoyed some longer ridge lines before stopping for a quick break. @ChrisW also gave us a demo of his new light controllers — very cool stuff! Then it was eastwards again, this time through some smaller, flowing rollercoaster terrain before we finally reached the BIG BIG stuff in Fayah. Big dunes. Big speed. Big Gs. We dropped down past the anomaly, where the convoy finally suffered its first proper stuck of the night. After a quick recovery, we decided it was as good a place as any to stop for coffee. Thirty minutes of coffee, chatting and cooling down later, we packed up and hit the road home. A really fun night with a convoy that handled everything thrown at it. Sidies, switches, ridges, speed and coffee. See you all on the next drive! @Mahmut @jamil abdollah @Lukas Wii @Piotr. @Sebastian Nohse @Giacomo @ChrisW
