Drive Report It was fantastic to see all new leaders up in the morning and showing up at meeting point ahead of time and be fully ready with deflation, flags before the drive time. Weather become chilly as per few and that gave us first hour of enjoying the drive with windows down to cherish this much awaited cool breeze. This was the second session of leaders lead drive where new leaders supposed to show their nav app homework of marking all above points and then drive with nav app to certain locations. Almost everyone did the good work and marked all the required points to start exploring. We started with @sertac and he manage to lead beautifully well in an area filled with 1000 cross tracks. And he manage to take all of us safely to Pink rock in no time. Perfect handling, confidence and routing choice made it possible to reach pink rock smoothly (almost). Keep it up Sertac. He did covered 8.78 km in 37 minutes. From Pink rock @Vanessa8580 started to lead till Big Red and she thoroughly enjoyed the drive and followed the track precisely and then gradually moved up to make her own track very wisely. Good thinking Vanessa. She did covered 12.56 km in 36 minutes. From Big red @Tbone started the joy ride and took all of us for much awaited big rolling dunes behind big red and continue to march towards the pink rock area. He showed a tremendous improvement from last leader lead session where he left with some difficult area to lead, but today he really showed his true potential and capabilities to lead. Well done Tbone. He did covered 10.5 km in 27 minutes. From Pink rock @Brette took over to take us to Tawi Nizwa farm and we all were truly impressed with his lead capability to find a fresh track in Pink Rock area where just an hour before we crossed through the 1000 cross tracks. This is an exceptional class of leading to always look for a smoother area to traverse (as far as possible) while being creative to explore near-by area than following existing tracks. Very well done Brette. He did covered 12.3 km in 31 minutes. Last but not least we have had @Kalahari with a different challenge given to tone down from an "Advance level" lead to a "fewbie level" which he perfectly scaled down and took all of us from Tawi nizwa farm to 2nd Dec exit. Well tried Kalahari. He did covered 6.5 km in 19 minutes. Heartiest congratulations to all new leaders for doing fantastic lead and showing us different flavor (most imp). Like we mentioned in debrief this was not a contest of who can better, longer or faster but a session to train you to lead with a navigation skills and free mind. Above numbers of km and minutes is not a parameter of any comparison as each one of you have had different stucks, refusal and pop out based on your own leading style. Moving forward you all need to work on making your drives as smooth and enjoyable as possible than competing on any number games (just clarifying). Get ready for the third and last session of leaders lead where each one of you will be leading through a technical dunes without any existing tracks, purely based on your navigational and leading skills. After that drive we will conduct a session of technical and extreme recoveries to conclude your training and let you practice more under the supervision of existing trip lead and Marshals.

Totally agree as diff lock are critical when you are driving solo or on overland trips. With club drives, you will always have someone to help you, so don't waste time and money for getting aftermarket diff lock (if someone selling you).

Please find my images in the drive gallery, looking forward to see yours: https://carnity.com/gallery/category/311-ab-newbie-qudra-dubai-18-sep-2020

DRIVE REPORT It was lovely to start the day with AC set at 2 rather than on 3 fan speed. As the weather has changed so fast in the morning that it was amazing to drive and enjoy the cool breeze. Dense fog made it a bit difficult to reach but it all settled down by the time we were ready to move. Absolute Newbie drives are amazing to see so many new faces, different cars, new and unique questions all at one go. Thanks, everyone for being on time to respect everyone's time. As soon as we started we were welcome with a big bunch of gazelles on their morning walk, just before the qudra lake area. We started with a flat track and went pass the under-construction new lake and start to practice small straight up and down the dune. Soon after the first few km we entered the real qudra desert and start to conquer one dune after another. Thankfully we had all great drivers behind great cars and everyone did fantastically well and we manages to do a lot of swings, dunes crossing, and track. Thanks, @Peter Hallez for wonderful second lead and helping in re-routing when needed. You have a very good offroader (Rubicon) with unique color, I'm sure you will enjoy her a lot as you climb up the off-road ladder. Keep up your great learning attitude. I fully understand @Roopesh babu that it was a bit scary experience in the beginning as pushing cars over 2-3K revs is not everyone used to, but towards the end you did fantastic and clearly shows that your confidence and apetitie for offroading is in well sync. @sri ganesh every stuck and refusal teaches you a lot and you have been very fortunate today to learn the real art of offroading by self-recovering yourself with patience and precision. Leaving the throttle (or not pushing) at wrong angles and time mostly result in such weird and difficult refusals. @Luca Palanca Falsini it was nice to meet you and know your previous off-road experience. Your Fortuner with off-road bumper looks totally different and very nice. It was worth investing in this when you broke your stock bumper twice. Also work on finessing your offroad abilities to take difficult angles at slow speed, as off-road skills and vehicles should transform hand in hand. Based on today's drive and self-declaration you may apply for your fewbie level promotion here: https://carnity.com/forums/topic/15289-off-road-club-grading-structure-v20 Finally @Gok Krish you have made it to your first drive after a long wait. To be honest, after the first quick look at your JGC Summit, I was about to send you back due to extremely low ground clearance. But the magic of electronic suspension height control saved your day and the air dam (front spoiler). I highly recommend you to get that air dam to remove for better peace of mind. You can check with @Brette here on what are the best solution to modify or remove. He is driving similar JGC (not summit) for 2 years now and reached at Advance level with the same vehicle. @Krishnakumar haven't heard anything from you during the drive, means you were either too good or Prado pampered you well, lol. Either case you drove very well today as I saw you a few times, keep it up. @Farook Veettil you and your land cruiser need some time to get along while off-roading. Pay close attention to the car in front and try replicating that as much as possible with the same momentum and speed. You can even drive with windows rolled down to have audible feedback of the car in front, so you know at what RPM the front car is driving and you can push precisely when needed. @Shital Somaiya it was nice to see the new shape Patrol Y62 with a much better ground clearance as this was the biggest Achilles heel for the previous generation Y62 Patrol. I hope you enjoyed the drive and check with AOR for the correct flag adapter as it seems some part was missing. @Sandeep Padhi heard your praise from Vanessa means you were really good and ready for the next challenge. Thanks, @Vanessa8580 for the wonderful support, patience, and recovery skills to keep the whole convoy moving and taking care of everyone with a smile and confidence. ________________________ To All Absolute Newbies: Moving forward you all will be joining the Newbie drives and not an Absolute Newbie drive.
