It was indeed a drama free relaxing drive out there this morning! With @Kishor on his first drive, we started off gently but soon realized he was a natural: keeping the exact momentum and lines and not setting a foot wrong the entire morning. Extremely impressive and you're a perfect fit for Carnity: perfectly on time, equipped with all tools, and excited to drive. We could not have wished for a better Absolute Newbie Not just Kishor, but everyone drove amazing today, so we could ramp up the pace and complexity a bit, and all of you delivered brilliantly. @Esteban Ayala@florent sierens@edward-392 you were all in my rearview mirror 😁 We took a break on Pink Rock and i felt happy to see @Imran Asghar completing his 100th drive with us. I remember his early days full of enthusiasm and jokes, and it's great to see none of that has changed As a drive lead you can now carry forward that same enthusiasm for offroading onto others. It's fantastic to have you in our midst and we all wish for many more drives together! With @Anish S , @J-P L, @Ash S.and @JC_E amidst the convoy things were a breeze: we had some good fun winching Zubail his starship, with the right tools and cool as cucumbers. It was starting to really get hot when we exited, so starting at 6AM was worth it, and the coming weeks we might even start a bit earlier Thank you all for joining today, on to the next one!

I smell coffee.... or chocolates....🤣

Try to arrive 15mins earlier if possible so you have ample time to deflate and set up your flags. When you arrive you can deflate to 14psi if you have HT tires (Highway) or further down to 12psi if you have AT (All Terrain) tires. 2. Bring enough water with you. Summer is in full swing. Let's not overexert ourselves. 3. We will be using Channel 4: 446.081Mhz on the walkie talkies. See you all in the morning! See you all tomorrow

Hahaha some items in the “lead” category are not necessarily a must have. Like an axe or hack saw for example. These are more of a nice to have category.

Sorry to hear that, but the drive is on Sunday

Hi @RubenSfz, @ChrisW might have an idea. My best guess (if all rocker arms are replaced) you will be between 7000 and 9000AED easily.

DRIVE DESCRIPTION-WHAT TO EXPECT As long as off-roading has been a famous hobby in the UAE, people have been flocking to the nice dunes of the Pink Rock area. The main reason, apart from its scenic views, is the ability to scale the level easily. This drive is suited for beginners as we will gradually take you through some rolling dunes and steep climbs.

That's a million dollar shot! Beautiful detail! PS There is indeed a small glitch in the media gallery. For now you can just upload it in the main Media Gallery (in the upper right corner you can click on "Add Images". Media Gallery - Carnity.com Once we have all the photos i will then categorize them into the album. Oddly enough if you create an album others can't post photos inside of it. Will figure that out later.

Media Gallery - Carnity.com Just put them in the main Media gallery. Will manually shift them into the dedicated album.

Thank you all so much for joining us last night! The weather was still very much doable, the cookies delicious @Ana ,and it was so great to see old friends back in the Carnity family @samamara! Your commitment and support to drive all the way from RAK to Al Razeen is admirable. Thank you so much. I think we all had plenty of time to mess around with our camera settings, or in the case of @Zubail his bazooka 😁 and i was super impressed with everyone's results. Even @Thomas54675 that just showed up with his phone was getting stellar results! I just selected to upload two photos which i liked. One was with the 14mm Samyang f2.8 where Sam was just pointing her laser at the sky. Gives it a nice sci-fi atmosphere. The second one is with the 35mm f2.0. There's also a gallery made for this event. Feel free to put your photos also in there. See you all back in the sand! (or starry skies in this case)

Hope everyone got home safe. That was a massive fog on E75 !!
