My newbie experience was year ago…. “Go Desert” was my dream and with carnity it was my first drive.
How much did you enjoy your first drive?
My first drive was from Mahafiz to Fossil Rock and it was one of my best experience and I shared every move I took with my daughter and wife again and again till I attended my second drive after two weeks.
What did you enjoy about the drive?
Briefing and making me comfortable before the drive.
Which part of the drive you think you enjoyed the best which you would like to repeat?
It was descend from fossil rock.
Do you think there was a good mix of lecture and practical, was the lecture too long, and any part that can be avoided or done in a shorter or different way? Do you think anything else could be added to the lecture?
For me lecture and practical was a good experience and lecture can’t be shorter because there are many points which should be explained in detail and to be focused before drive begins.
Do you think prior reading material would help?
YES, prior reading is very important. It will help you a lot and I have full of notes saved in my mobile and I still keep reading it again and again no matter how much off-road experience I have.
Would you know where on the Carnity forum you would be able to find the information you are looking for?
Yes I know and page is friendly designed.
Is there anything you think could be done in a better way?
Nothing in my mind now and I would definitely advice if required.
How do you suggest to make things better for the new comers?
Preparing your vehicle: Condition of the tyres, water level in the cooling system, engine oil and gear oil level, hydraulic clutch and brake reservoirs and spare tyres
Basic Safety Equipment’s: Shovel, Flag, 2way Radio and Basic Tools (car jack, wheel spanner)
How do you think you can progress within the current atmosphere and learning opportunities provided?
Willingness to learn
