Realized all Dubai/NE fewbie drives are full for this weekend. . 😐 However the way Ale describes all the drives led by him, it's in any case tough to miss out on them...C u Saturday @Ale Vallecchi

Thanks all for your lovely wishes and guiding me through the drives over last two months... Looking forward to be part of fewbie drives and learn through the process.... Thanks again.

Thanks @Gaurav @Rahimdad based on your advice...found this... Looks really nice... By any chance some ideas to mount shovel without drilling into doors...

Dears request advice on where I can find tail gate mount like these in Dubai? Request advice

Hi @Chaitanya D thanks for the same.. however wife added to my weekend to do list over, so two drive weekend dream is thrashed this time...😭will continue with Saturday drive. Thanks again

Hi @Chaitanya D kindly add me as wait list to this one as second drive of week.

Hi @Gaurav believe I am too late, if feasible kindly add me to wait list. List seems long, so if not able to join in see you all the following week. Cheers

Thanks Gaurav and Ale for organizing this awesome drive and stepping up to accommodate the long list of WL. The weather, the setting, the team were all awesome and the cheerleaders (the camels and donkeys 🙂) made it simply special. Simply couldn't have asked for better location to mark the last drive for 2020. Thanks to Kashif, Ahab and Niki for guiding us through the drive. You guys made it comfortable for all of us in most technical of situations. Special thanks to Ale and Richard for exploring this route. I am not going to miss any chance to get back there again. Looking forward to see you all in 2021. Thanks again for the exhilarating nature safari today. PS: I am struggling to tag ppl in comment. Page keeps on adding the same name multiple times. Perhaps my phone or maybe a bug to test on webpage.

Dears seems won't be able to join this trip. Have some plans over Christmas Eve would make it tough to join early morning on 25th. Hoping to see some of you during the drive on 26th.

Hi kindly add me to wait list on this one...🙂

Thanks @Rahimdad@Wrangeld for an awesome drive today. It was really exhilarating day in desert with lots of soft sand, steep slides and awesome play areas with beautiful slide slopes. Self assessment : loved every bit of my wranglers ride today. It truly is a mean machine. Important lesson learnt - lock the frequency on walkie talkie 🙂🙂. Only time I had refusal today, my walkie talkie jumped the frequency and I missed important instructions from Richard in my self recovery mode..though managed to find my way out, it truly ratifies the safety norm - don't overlook the minutest of details in every tool we have. Another tip that I practiced today and cherished every bit of it (learnt after watching multiple offroading guides/videos and practiced today) - while going down a steep slope, look under the side view mirror (not in the mirrors, under the mirror) to get a clear view of slope....worked great for me so sharing with all... Thanks all for great afternoon. My daughter and dad both enjoyed a lot in your company.

Thanks all for a nice afternoon experience, specially to @Gaurav and @Jeepie, I think we as a newbie group tested well your recovery skills and learnt a lot from you both through the ride. Surface was very soft through the course and that meant we had it all - someone stuck every 5 min, pop outs, regular tow recoveries to winch recovery. Personally with around 5-6 rides done (3 with Carnity) and couple previously I have really started to relate much better to my vehicles and njoied every bit of it. Especially the high slopes we did in the end was real highlight for me. Thanks again looking forward to see you guys over next weekend(s). Cheers

Please add me to Waiting list.

Have only completed 2 drives with Carnity, so not qualifying for Liwa. (though done couple with some other clubs), Five days off and no offroading, that can't be good...🙂

Hi @Rahimdad Hope like means, something is coming..:) Hope is what keeps the spirit high... Cheers Varun

Dears Just wanted to check if any newbie drives being planned in Dubai this extended weekend. Regards

Okie so eventually couldnt make it...🙂 Crazy traffic at Hessa killed it...would have got late so decided to turn back..

Guys I am back..hope you didn't replaced me with someome else...plz advice I can reach in time.. @Gaurav @Desert Dweller

Goodness .. could have easily done morning drive .. Due to an event skipped that and event is running late for afternoon drive

Dear @Gaurav I will have to pull out today due to some last min work.... Any possibility for me to join in any drive Tomo?..wanted to complete 3 rides before next week so to be able to join for Liwa trip..

Hi @Rahimdad thanks for the same. Seems Friday morning I have some event to attend so in any case won't be able to make it. Will continue with afternoon drive.

Done...found it...thanks...

Hi @Gaurav thanks for highlighting. I was trying to exit this drive as already confirmed for the afternoon one. However not sure how to change the RSVP on this, kindly advice

Thanks @Rahimdad 👍

Wow...the slots got filled up faster than I could have imagined...any possibility can be placed on wait list. Have been to Pink rock twice so would prefer Fossil Rock.
