Congratulations @Andrew John Melvill for reaching the Expert Level with Carnity Offroad Club. We have all been amazed with the progress you made. It was clear early on that you were enthusiastic about your new off-roading hobby, but you've been such a consistent part of our off-roading family now, and a fantastic mentor to our members. Your calm demeanour and quick wit is a blessing to have as a lead, and we all feel so well looked after whenever we are on your drives. You absolutely deserve this ! EXPERT This level will be the most essential in your off-road development as you will start leading and managing drives independently with the support of other senior advisors. And also, you will help in developing new advisors to pass on the knowledge, experience, and skills for managing adventurous yet safer off-road drives. The expert level will offer you continuous improvement in your overall development by alternating between leading and supporting once in a while. This way, you will still learn and advance your knowledge by supporting other trip leads in different terrain to understand the complexity and challenges involved and practicing independent lead and convoy management.

Frederic posted a topic in Off-Road Club's Announcements
Congratulations @Sam Selim for reaching the Expert Level with Carnity Offroad Club. Since you started leading, and even way before of course, we've seen a consistency, maturity, and a genuine care you've displayed for our members. Your drives are exciting and yet at the same time everyone feels safe and well taken care of. And that means you deserve this promotion and we look forward to many more drives together!

Thank you all for joining this morning! We had a pretty good run with hardly any stucks. The handful of small refusals were also easily dealt with thanks to the help of @Ishakand @Sam Selim! Fantastic second lead duties as well by @Sandeep Padhi! Towards the end of the drive the cv axle of the front wheel of @Cova decided it had enough of all this nonsense, so we had take the last part a bit more cautious but Coda managed the two wheel drive experience with a big smile On below link you can upload your photos: Morning Newbie Desert Drive - Nahel - Abu-Dhabi- 6 Sep 2026 - Carnity.com See you all in the sand soon. For now enjoy the rest of your sunday! -
