Varun Mehndiratta

365 days of wait. 30+ days of lively planning and contributions by more than 25 Team Carnity members, under leadership of @Gaurav @Srikumar and @Frederic, to make this exploration safe and special. 3hours of drive from Dubai. And eventually a drive (rather an experience) worthy of all above and much more. All explorations/journeys eventually reach the final point and end, what’s left are the memories, and If companionship is good, these memories are etched on the lovely sections of brain and heart for ever. Thanks all for making this YT drive a wonderful memory to cherish forever. Thanks @Chaitanya D for leading us through this beautiful terrain. Your calm and smile made it easier for us all. @M.Seidam every time we drive togather, you amaze me with your energy and management of recoveries. @Waqas Parvez @Vaibhav @ASAD. @Karthik Raptor your energy and camardarie kept the convoy togather and lively throughout. @Jaro Tuzinsky thanks for lovely aerial shots, nicely captured the magnificent Liwa. @Patrick van der Loo @Richard Franks @Bjoern @Senthil Kumar @Pascal thanks for being there and making it an amazing day out on dunes of liwa.

Hi at the point with all other convoys. Hope it’s the same starting point for all?

All set and packed .. time to doze off and take some good rest before the long drive ahead… cya all tomo morning.

Nice post Doc. Memories from last year… couple of weeks post National day, all colored in UAE National flag. Was an awesome day on sand with @Gaurav

Yeah saw the red tab on that dial after looking at your post… wasn’t expecting it to be a dial… This along with MM will be faster than only MM… so good 😀 plus the fact that can arrange the dial to cut off is even better — no need to keep checking (cut off works really good, experienced it already with that bicycle inflation experiment)

Hi Doc, Sri has shared the starting point camping option in the NB thread, just in case that’s the same location you plan to use - might be good to share here. Not sharing as not sure about the plans and don’t want to confuse the group.

Oh now when you mentioned I checked mine was setup at very low psi… and since days was cursing TE for being a cheat as it was shutting off while inflating my daughter’s bicycle 🤣🤣🤣 no instructions along with compressor how would anyone know the trick 😀

@Chaitanya D is exit point (planned) close to starting point? Plan to camp on 1st night and many who are driving on 2nd plan to camp close to starting point on 1st as well .. so just checking to see if better to align with other group or if too far than in any case will plan differently.

Let’s see how it works in LIWA would be a good test for it. Will cary my other one in any case. A friend tried this Saturday and it worked for him (didn’t time it though). So perhaps this plus the existing one in combo for liwa.

Finally had a chance to try it first hand, was trying to fill up a tyre… kept auto switching off very regularly (perhaps due to small size?)… has two hose connector and a separate free valve to connect another one or use as deflator. Doubt stand alone will work… the finish and looks are pretty cool, but performance no where close to required.

Hi Jeepers Looking for feedback on Mopar tailgate mounted air compressor. regards

Perhaps that’s why Sweden decided not to qualify this time

Me too will be camping after drive … tried once not going to drive all the way back post drive.

Congrats @Pascal

Wow amazing description .. sad that I missed it … skipped the DXB Run as was sure won’t be able to make it after winter drive and eventually missed both.. 😀 Wow pani Puri in desert … you sure was pani? As description from @DP1011 , Deepak wrangler on @Vaibhav driving skill post events seem to refer to some Goan speciality 🤣 @Kailas reference to @Goh KP’s chef is in itself mouth watering, tried some flavors last year and still haven’t forgotten the taste. Nice to read these awesome posts here. 👍👍

Congrats @heyns holtzhausen

Congrats @Joao

Been awesome reading all the posts above …Couldn’t join in this time, however your reports brought back all the memories of our trip early this year to this beautiful terrain. Thanks @Mario Cornejo your markings further added to the same. Great to know all had fun. Maestros@Gaurav @Srikumar and @Frederic alone on a drive ensure a unique experience, all of them togather in same convoy must have been a real soul enriching experience. . @GauravSoni hats off to you bro… leading in Al Qua is in itself a challenge of highest level and doing that despite not having the best of starts, requires a zen. Amazing feat.🖖🖖

Btw anyone game for Best Stuck Challenge? all you need to do is beat this 😀😀 Only place you can achieve it is Al Qua, hv fun all.

I hear you @Gaurav …I recall how many times we had a chat on phone on way back last time, just checking that all good … Focus on fact that you will be crossing Tropic of Cancer…. Not everyday we do that so yeah exciting 😀😀 also stay cautious of speed cameras on road 🤣🤣🤣
