Well done @Frans M ! Time to polish your chrome shovel

Good evening everyone. @Myrko@Dan S@Theo Prado@saumik1989@Chrismayer@Abdullah A.@Shary@Kashx2@JohanE@Amr J Due to a small surgery i got done today, it is not advisable for me to be in the sand coming weekend. Thankfully @Ale Vallecchihas decided to step up and lead this drive. Starting time will be also shifted to 8AM due to his travels and arriving late the evening before. Kindly acknowledge this message by clicking on the LIKE button, so we know everyone is aware of the change. See you guys soon in the sand again!

You are right, the Duelers are not really made for sharp rocks. And yes, STOCK is less headache Join us on one of the Newbie club drives

Hi @Adrian Lane Even though the Bridgestone Dueler is a HT tire, they are definitely not bad for light off-roading, especially in sand. Can i ask what kind of off-roading you are planning to do? Wadis and mountains? Or desert? If you drive in sand only, the Dueler will be absolutely fine. The main problem is the big rims (20inch) which means the tire sidewalls are quite low (60). Ideally it would make sense to try to fit a 275x65x20 but i am not sure if these can be easily found in the market.

Thanks again to everyone who joined! Everyone drove fantastic this morning. Without he support of @Ishak and @Imran Asghar, and @Frans M as my superb second lead, this would not have been possible. Feel free to upload your photos in our drive gallery: Newbie - Surrounding The Solar Park - Dubai - 28 Sep 2025 - Carnity.com PS I found a 4 in 1 hose inflator manifold gauge at the inflation point. If it belongs to you let me know on Whatsapp: ZERO FIVE SIX - FIVE ZERO FOUR - TWO SIX THREE TWO. @Frans M might be yours as you have similar system.

RSVP IS NOW CLOSED @Frans M@Ahmed Shaaban@Lazy Frog@Aringga@Thomas54675@Sivaprasad Gopalakrishnan@Menon Arun@Ishak@Jean Jarjoura@Bhaskaran Ramaswamy@Warbs@khurram@saumik1989@Ana@Theo Prado@Mei Ling@Ahmed Wagdy@Imran Asghar We have a nice long train for tomorrow! Please take note of the below pointers to make the best of the available time: 1. Please try to arrive 15mins earlier so you have time to deflate and set up your flag. Latecomers will need to bring all of us a cappuccino and croissants . 2. Once you arrive you can deflate your tires to 14-15psi when you have HT tires, or 11-12psi if you have AT tires. Don't hesitate to approach any of the senior members or myself for help if needed. 3. Walkie Talkie communication channel 8 will be used: 446.18125 Mhz. If you don't have a radio yet we can lend you one if you are on your first drive with us. 4. Make sure to arrive with a full fuel tank. Not that we will empty it from this single drive, but this is a safety precaution that we always follow. A prepared off-roader is a happy off-roader. As always, teamwork will be crucial, so let's be patient with each other and enjoy the beautiful area while we are approaching the glorious winter season. See you all tomorrow morning !

Dear @AlexO You can find a bit more details below: Basically when starting off in our club, you are first in the Newbie level category until you have completed 5 Newbie Level drives. Then you can request your promotion to Fewbie Level. If you happen to have other club experience and want to request an early promotion to Fewbie, you will in any case first need to do 1 Newbie level drive, and after completing that drive, request your promotion online to Fewbie and document your experience and number of drives you have done in other clubs. If accepted by us, you will be promoted to Fewbie level after one Newbie level drive. Hope this clarifies the situation.

Quick addition, and FREE gpx.studio — the online GPX file editor This little app (running from web-browser) allows for easy planning of routes and tracks. Once your plan is made, you can save your route as a .GPX file and load it into your favorite mobile app. Looks simple but is actually quite powerful. Take into account that it does not save your tracks (no repository). It's just a small online tool. If you feel Gaia / Caltopo is a bit too complex, this tool could be ideal for you. Next to the Mapbox Sattelite Imagery, you can also use Google Maps Terrain or Hybrid as layer. Go to Settings, Layer Settings, Customs Layers. Make a new layer by adding these hyperlinks: Google Hybrid: https://mt1.google.com/vt/lyrs=y&x={x}&y={y}&z={z} Google Terrain: https://mt1.google.com/vt/lyrs=t&x={x}&y={y}&z={z}
