Good morning Team ! Thanks for signing up for this drive, some of you have done this terrain already before, while for other it will be the first time. What to expect ? This is not your typical dunebashing and sidesloping terrain, as it varies from lushy green terrain into farmtracks, and includes some nice technical terrain to test all your skills. We will exit in Falaj Al Mualla, which has the famous watch towers, and is officially in Umm al Quwain, so in fact we will be driving in 2 Emirates Bring your camera and try to enjoy the terrain, as we expect to see goats, donkeys, camels, and lots of vegetation. Consider this more to be a kind of overlanding exploration. I am sure we will have fun and i particularly like the area because there are no other offroaders in sight. As for the convoy list: @Anoop Nair will be on his 51st drive, which i can only applaud as he has come very far and i know i can rely on him 100% to be my second lead. In the center, we will have @Davie Chase who has been recently promoted to support team, and will be eager to demonstrate his magnificent shoveling skills 😁 Towards the back we have really experienced members, and it's great to see @Probir Mukherjee back with us in Carnity. @topgear, and most-probably his super-co-pilot that will be with him will be sweeping our convoy. We will be using Channel 1: 446.00625 Mhz. I hope to see you all tomorrow at 4PM sharp, there will be a small part of the drive in dark, which changes the whole perspective on driving in the sand. There is no need for extra night lights on your 4x4, but if you have them be ready to test them

Congrats @Zixuan Huang - Charlie well deserved !

You’ll find them here: https://carnity.com/gallery/category/1341-absolute-newbie-al-qudra-dubai-24-apr-2022 i will send you a small video as well

That doesn’t look like Google Maps, is it Apple Maps ? Perhaps that was the reason the link went missing ?

@Shaaz Sha I still remember that big smile of yours when you saw the dunes on our last Sweihan drive. I knew at that point in time you’d be back to conquer them ! Well done guys !!

Well deserved @Davie Chase !

Hi @Mike Merdinian The front bumper of the Pajeros has undergone some facelifts over the years, from what i can see your model is the 2020 version which would look like this: Most Pajero owners would usually trim everything below the red line to create a bit more clearance, but as a result the bumper becomes a bit more flimsy and will crack more easily. Adding a front bash plate will give a bit extra protection against that. If you would eventually decide to lift the vehicle, that perhaps you could keep the bumper as it is. The typical straight line cut is indeed what most owners would do i am afraid. Its easy and if the guy who trims it can just stay along the existing line without messing it up

Hi @Ignacio Quindos you’ll need to have completed 5 Newbie level drives first. Once that is done you can apply here: Apply For Promotion

Congrats @Andrei S ! You’ll love it !

Well, we didn’t find any bunnies this morning. What we did found was a group of enthusiasts that were eager to explore some nice virgin areas of Qudra and beyond. Throughout the drive we were able to keep a good pace and only had a handful of refusals, and some excellent self recovery skills by @Yaseen87 and wonderful support from @Anoop Nair. All of you drove very well today ! After having enjoyed the Qudra area, we crossed the road into Al Hathmah and the plan was to make this drive into a nice loop where we would exit at the Love Lakes. Unfortunately @Thian his Jeep hit a bump somewhere after coming off a dune which resulted in an overheating issue shortly after and upon opening the bonnet we noticed the cooling fluid was almost entirely gone and the engine bay was covered in pink coolant. The only option was to disengage the electronic parking brake with the engine off (we had to check in the operator manual), and tow the car out back to the road. As we were on the last part of the drive, we all exited together. I wanted to thank you all for the great drive this morning and the support from all of you ! @Thian i hope the damage is not to severe and you can join us soon again. Take care and enjoy the rest of the weekend !
