Vali

I am using AlpineQuest with Android. Satisfied so far.

Due to some family affairs i am no more able to join this drive. Looking forward to join the very next mountain trip.

It's a Friday prayer that ends at 12:45 - 1 PM so timing the drive accordingly.

Ok,  clear now

Wow, there seems to be so much interest on mountain drive that we should add such excursion more often now.

As many of you know that we have recently set up a grading structure to rank every offroader so that he/she can join on suitable drives as per their experience with Carnity Offroad Club. This is purely for safety reason and for improvising the user experience than the newbie level joins the intermediate drive or vice versa and end up feeling out of place.

Having said that, the route I selected is definitely not fit for the first-time mountain offroader, as it requires some precise control to climb up on loose gravel and boulder path. Too fast might cause damage to the vehicle and too slow might slip backward. This challenge will multiply on turnings even tougher and you need great control to stop and start the vehicle without slipping on steep incline and decline.

I truly understand that some of you have had previous experience and feel quite confident in such terrain, but my humble request is to wait for newbie level mountain drive to join so that we can rate and evaluate your experience.

Secondly, this is an exploration drive and my 10-year-old waypoint might be blocked as it was too close to the border fence or inaccessible due to rain or weather conditions. Although I do have Plan B - Wadi Shawka river bed loop and Plan C - Wadi Sfini crossing in the nearby area, but I cannot guarantee if all these routes will be accessible or not.

@WiLfY and @Vali If you are confident for such an area and ready for an "exploration drive" where things might not go completely as per plan, please do join.

@BIG T and @Emil if you have previous experience of mountain drive please join, or else wait for newbie level trip.

Gaurav, I have a suggestion if you allow me... Might be a good ideea to start the drive a bit earlier, considering short winter daylight and as you said things might not go as per plan and get longer time to return to blacktop. Daylight I think is better than any car lights... 

Hi. I am a member of Carnity but i did not drive yet with the club.

Can i join the mountain drive on 14 dec ?

I realy want this as I have previous experience from my home country and until now only desert sand driving trips posted and completed with Emirates Offroaders, AD4x4 and Oryx 4x4 in Abu Dhabi.

Sorry... Forgot to mention. My name is Vali and I drive a Mitsubishi with low range and rear diff. lock. Thank you
