@Brettecan you please remind me where one applies for a level change? This was my 5th newbie drive and I am looking forward to some more steep dunes

@Enrico Biscarojust realized there is a link on the post above with the convoy numbering that I put up last night. Just go to the 'required gear' link  and you will see the tab to apply just below the Fewbie requirements. 

Drive RSVP is now closed. 

Convoy order below.

Please go through the tutorial videos and make sure your cars front and rear tow hooks are in order.  Hope all of you also have the required gear for the Newbie level drives. No gear = no drive.

Trip report:

It was good to see everyone at the meeting point on time and all smiles. After a quick briefing we were off just in time to see the sun rise over the dunes. The area we entered from turned out to be a bit deceiving and about 15 minutes into the drive I got myself into a soft pocket and needed @Rizwanm2 to give me a quick tug. 

With newbie drives I tend to start with some small technical patches where we drive through slow but it requires each drivers undivided attention. It was going to be a challenge with a 16 long convoy, but knowing that I had @Rizwanm2 @Nabil Bishara and @marks in support was a blessing and I went ahead. We did have our share of stucks and refusals that were quickly handled by the support team and we made it all the way to the camel farm at the other end. I was really impressed with the entire convoy, you all did exceptionally well. A special shout out to @Bernard Kalaani @salah2u and @YazGayed who were on their first newbie drive and managed very well. From the camel farm we moved towards the bigger rolling dunes of Margham where everyone hopefully had fun riding the flatter ridges and doing some sideys before we exited.

@YazGayed sorry about the rear bumper lower facia getting ripped off. If you plan to use the JGC a lot in the desert, I would suggest leaving it without the lower facia in the front and back. It gives you a bit more clearance as well. 

Thanks again @Rizwanm2 @Nabil Bishara and  @marks for the excellent support and @Enrico Biscaro for being the perfect second lead, you maintained the perfect distance and on a couple of occasions rerouted the convoy perfectly. 

Well done ladies and gentlemen. See you all again in the sand..

Drive RSVP is now closed.

Congrats @Damien Ranjit. Well done!!

Congrats @MUHAMMAD Kashif RAZZAQ. Week done. 

Congrats @Rizwanm2well done.

Hi Fellow Traveller. I am not sure if I already met any of you, but I am looking forward to share a few sandy kilometers with all of you. I drive a Silver Pajero SWB 2014, I love photography and flying my drone. 

I really enjoy this club as there is never pressure, but only joy in sharing and caring about each other.

See you all on Saturday

@Enrico Biscaroyou would have missed the drive if you show up on Saturday. 🤪 

It's on Friday morning. Looking forward to meeting you. 

@Mahesh Khatry @Adhir Saxena you are both welcome to wait till someone drops out or you can join @Chaitanya D on his newbie drive at pink rock, 2 spots still available. 

 @Christopher Mitch Fuerzas, @Clara Cordero, @Nittin Pangotra , @Waqas Asif, @Daphne, @Muhamed Ameen, @Bakr Abdallah and @FSt

Thank you for joining Friday Absolute Newbie drive, it was a pleasure to drive with you all. Being an absolute newbie you all did great and learned really well.

Moving forward you all will be joining the Newbie drives and not an Absolute Newbie drive anymore. Drives are announced every Sunday at 11 am, and they go live on Sunday at 7:00 pm. Due to the high demand, these drives get full in about 10 minutes, so please be online at 7 pm to book your spot. If you miss a spot, put your name on the waitlist asap. Generally, by Thursday with dropouts everyone does get a spot if they have waitlisted. 

For the next drives, please bring along a deflator, pressure gauge, flag, compressor and radio as a minimum. 

• Learn to deflate your tires and checking them precisely
• Learn to fix a flag on your car
• Learn to program and fully charge your radio

Also like I mentioned during the debriefing, join the Carnity Whatsapp Drive Notification to get the latest updates on the drives, so that you can RSVP on time for the next weekend's drive.

Please have a look at below topic which describes the tools needed for every level. There is a separate tutorial inside which explains which radio we recommend and how to program them: (Please do not buy the Baofeng 888S spare radio we gave you, as these cannot be programmed without a special cable and software).

Please have a look at below grading structure that explains various off-road levels:

See you guys and gals soon on the sand again. Take care.
