  1. What more to ask... had all the fun of driving in desert.... off course different from all the previous drives I attended and feel lot more confident. @skumar83 a big thank you to you... drive was really fast this time... we covered a lot of distance in the desert.

    My friend left asking me to arrange a rent car for him to drive next time. @Gaurav and @Rahimdad perfect briefing to understand what to expect... excellent guidance... @Atif I now understand role of a second lead and the associated responsibilities. That last minute message saved my bumper and Thanks for towing me out when I was stuck.... overall... excellent drive except for a minor incident. I hope to see you all with the same spirit next time and sort this issue in the best possible way... Again, let’s all learn from it and be cautious next time... cheers.....

  2. How much did you enjoy your first drive? Emil. It was an awesome experience after being a passenger with rahim bhai on the first day. I was waiting to try the tips he gave.

    What did you enjoy about the drive? Emil. Driving down the steep dunes and most importantly aloo paratta at the end of the drive.

    Which part of the drive you think you enjoyed the best which you would like to repeat? Emil. Cutting the dunes.

     

    Do you think there was a good mix of lecture and practical, was the lecture too long, and any part that can be avoided or done in a shorter or different way? Yes, not long, nothing I can think of.

    Do you think anything elese could be added to the lecture? Nothing at the moment.

    Do you think prior reading material would help? yes, more videos on website for a newbie will be helpful. Like descent tips, approaching a dune etc. 

    Would you know where on the Carnity forum you would be able to find the information you are looking for? Not fully aware.

    Is there anything you think could be done in a better way? Nope.

    How do you suggest to make things better for the new comers? Totally appreciate your guidance to a newbie especially on getting the flag, clamp, inflators, deflator etc. 

    How do you think you can progress within the current atmosphere and learning opportunities provided? Continuously learning.

  3. Having read few articles, I understand it is going to be colder in the desert than normal. I shall carry few warm clothes as well. Meantime, from the list of necessities, I have got the pressure gauge, deflator tool, flag, clamp and the radio. I was unable to decide on the right air compressor as too many vendors in Dragon mart confused me with various models. I prefer to buy a model tested and proven from the experience of everyone. Shovel, I forgot. Sincere Apologies.

  4. Hello All,

    I just joined the club today. Pleasure to be introduced to you all. Having lived in UAE for the last 10 years, exploring the desert was always beyond my thoughts. Reading the comments from the last drive you had on the 2nd sounds very interesting and definitely excited join if given a chance.

    I am very new to off road driving except that 2 years back I got stuck in the sand while going for the desert carols. After which I saw some of the youtube videos to understand some of the basics. 

    Not sure if a modification is required on a Nissan Patrol to drive in desert. Tyres were replaced 2 months ago (Basic Tyres). Having gone through the list of mandatory equipments required for desert drive, I shall go to ACE and find them this week. 

    Event on the 9th looks slightly professional and not sure if you will accommodate an amateur. Else, I shall wait for the next newbie event. 

    Thank you,

    Emil George.
