  1. Good luck boys! Apart from the brilliant mentoring Asif will provide, the camaraderie and teamwork these sessions will provide will create a lasting bond. I genuinely look forward to be in your convoys soon! Have fun!
  2. Yeah I’m in two minds about camping. If it cools down enough it might be doable, but mid June is usually too hot. Let’s see.
  3. I've just opened up the RSVP I've just opened up the RSVP @Zsolt if you have a digital camera (DSLR or mirrorless) with a tripod you would be fine with a wide angle lens that you have. For night photography it would ideally have to be a fast lens (f/2.8 or lower). Even with Iphone you might get decent results, but you would definitely need a tripod as well.
  4. We will give you a free lift into the dunes. (old DCT start point). Canon 5D mk2 with Samyang f/2.8 14mm
  5. After 3 seasons of driving with us in Carnity, @Aser will unfortunately be leaving us as he is relocating to Canada. We want to thank Aser for his help and support he has provided to so many of us in the club and wish him well on his future adventures! Perhaps not in the sand but maybe with an F150 in the Canadian woods! Let's all say THANKS and wish him all the best!

  8. Join us for a stargazing session in Al Razeen Abu Dhabi! What to expect on June 13: Best shooting window: roughly 10:00 PM – 3:30 AM Milky Way core direction: southeast to south Best composition time: around midnight to 2 AM when the core rises higher Moonlight should be minimal and likely only affect the horizon before dawn. Bring your Digital Camera, and we will help you practice getting the best results out of it. The plan is to have a meetup with max. 10 members to practice and enjoy the art of Night photography and learn from each other. Bring whatever Digital camera you have and have a look at the advisable settings in your camera's manual or ask in the forum. After the event you can publish your photos in our gallery! Meetup Location: Al Razeen, Abu Dhabi https://maps.app.goo.gl/AqfvMcdzgXsUsnrZ8 What to bring: Red headlamp and/or flashlight, camping chair, Camera or Smartphone, tripod, film/memory cards, extra battery, Recommended Lens(es). A tripod is recommended for night photography. Please do not bring big LED flood lights. We want to make sure our eyes can adjust to the dark. This is not an Off-Road Drive, but we will have to deflate at the entry point and head into the desert for 7-8 km so we have minimal light pollution. For the members who are joining us, please let us know which camera/lenses you are using and if you have practiced night photography before. @Imran Asghar@Luke K P@samamara

  11. Nice one! Yes i just noticed this is on a Sunday, so could be a perfect boy's getaway
  12. Hi @Jason M yes if the little valve core has broken off, they will need to remove the wheel to replace the valve completely. Another option is to keep it in place and perhaps just deflate that single tire by pushing the valve core. Deflation will take a bit of time but it could work. Give it a try.

I am sure we'll have a great morning out in the pristine dunes of Fayah. Just a couple of pointers: 1. Please try to arrive by 6.15AM. There are some road-works along this road, so be extra cautious. Also take note that there is no 20km/h grace speed in Abu Dhabi 😁 100=100! 2. Don't forget your flag, radio, compressor, and pressure gauge. 3. Upon arrival you can deflate to 14psi if you have highway terrain tires, and to 12psi if you have all terrain tires. @florent sierens your Jimny can be deflated to 10-11psi to achieve good flotation See you all in the morning!
