Trip report from a Fewbie prospective.

We had 2 weeks of starting the drive with rain in the air. Last week was starting the drive in thick fog. This week was different, cloudy but hot. Thank goodness for @shadow79 nice work with the AC kept me cool. I found Friday prayers in the new mosque near Al Awir and headed to the meeting point. As there were no absolute newbies we had a quick brief from @Gaurav bhai and we were off to the deflation point.

After deflation we were divided into 2 groups, newbie and Fewbie level. @Gaurav bhai headed the newbie group with @Srikumar in the sweep, I headed the Fewbie group with @Emmanuel in the sweep. The newbie group also had @Maxiben, @razeen hasan, @AKR, @Sharme and @Chirag S., my group had @Brette, @yogic72 and @Fuad.

As decided 10 minutes after the newbie convoy starting we took off on the right side through some technical dunes with some really soft patches. After having 3 difficult stucks taking over an hour to clear we found an amazing stretch which got us close to the newbie convoy in about 20 minutes. Those 20 minutes were the best 20 minutes I had in a long time. Fast paced and zero stucks in those 20 minutes. But like everything comes to an end, we got a few refusals, but still managed to make it to Pink Rocks and meet up with the newbie gang within a few minutes of them reaching.

After saying goodbye to @yogic72 we combined the group to cross Pink Rocks to find a point to settle the crowd for a BBQ. Thanks to @Sharme, 3 of us @Maxiben, @razeen hasan and I were able to witness the flying capabilities of the Wrangler. This came with a sigh of relief from @razeen hasan who had just taken his vehicle of the track to the side. Thank goodness for our brief where we emphasize how important it is to wait in a safe place away from the track, and putting it into good practice. With some heating issues with the Wrangler @Gaurav bhai had to drop @Sharme to the road side.

We later continued our quest and came across a nice spot to settle down. With a couple of BBQs going on and stories and jokes flying while some of us had to leave early. The night finally came to an end, thanks to @Emmanuel for guiding us out. After inflation and some warm hugs goodnight we all headed back home with some wide smiles all around.

For more action stay tuned as the next fun adventure starts this coming weekend, till than I bid you all farewell.

what a day!!!. very positive. for me it really proved how important it is to listen to the briefings before the stay of every adventure. thanks to the briefing by @Gaurav @Rahimdad else i would have had a real serious mishap. as usual. 

the day started with a drive from home. this time i think its the enthusiasm that helped me arrive much earlier. started the day with a lot of smiles and great hugs. hatsoff to @Gaurav parents. they were i presume  the senior most and the most adventurous couple we had. may god bless then with a very long and healthy  life.  

thanks to @Rahimdad @Gaurav @Srikumar for all the efforts. thanks for the recovery when my grand lady sank. it was very caring of the trio and their efforts were amazing like always. thanks to @Chirag S. and @Fuad for waiting up until i inflated my tires. didnt even get to say a proper good bye, but see you guys the next time.

every week we learn a lot of experience and paitence. the fear factor reduced a little more as the confidence factor had started to build along. it was a fun day and managed to learn the art of steering the steering. small slides n drifts happened. rollophobia and toppleophobia was there at times. 2 refusals and 1 sand bog. what more can you ask for when you had wonderful group leaders and a very cooperative co offroaders. God bless you Allah, incase i have forgotten to mention some one!!!, just remember that you are in my hearts and i am keeping you all there for now.

thanks for the lovely day

for people who are thinking twice to come tomorrow for the drive!!!! just remember that ramadhan is just around the corner and the sun will also get scorching in a few weeks. then its going to be vacation time. so dont miss the drives in the coming few weeks.

Lots of love for my vehicle. a beast on and off road. but need to move like a mouse off road bcos of my low bumpers. its still fun to drive as a newbie. it will be her second off road drive tomorrow. hope she doesnt lets me down.

Not really sure if they have Friday prayers in the Mosque near Tawi Nizwa shops, but 5 minutes drive to the other side near the farms there is a Mosque I normally attend my Friday prayers. Meet me at 12:30 at Tawi Nizwa shops and we will cross over to pray Friday prayers and meet the convoy at 1 pm

InshaAllah @Rahimdad bhai. Will meet around 12:15 to 12:30

22 minutes ago, Gaurav said:

Yes @luwaimn we plan to have 4-5 hours of offroad drive in that area first and then end with a family BBQ.

@razeen hasan there is a Mosque in Tawi Nazwa area near to the meeting point. @Rahimdad can confirm if that Mosque has Friday prayer or not. If not I'm sure you can get Friday Prayer in Lahbab area, as there are several bigger mosque near the Lahbab roundabout, which is just 5 minutes drive from the meeting point.

It's an easy, chilled out all level offroad drive to be perfect for newbies and fewbies offroaders and ending with a family BBQ at Pink Rock area.

Tawi Nazwa to Pink Rock offers perfect opportunity to learn in a very safe and easy track to medium rolling dunes. Looking for an easy relaxing drive for everyone with plenty of opportunities to learn and grow, hill climb, and ridge riding. Newbies and Fewbies will have a great chance to see and learn the real fun that off-roading offers in a very safe and organized environment.

@razeen hasan thanks for your valuable feedback, it really means a lot to see how newbie perceive and how we can improvise.

Just for FYI for every newbie, @Asif Hussain is a backbone of this offroad club and not just managing the WhatsApp broadcast messaging. He is a very senior member and an awesome offroader who has been recently off the grid due to changing his offroad ride.

Dear @Gaurav it was indeed a pleasure. Please keep us posted if any newbie ride is planned in the upcoming public holiday which may fall either on 2nd or 3rd April. It was real fun and the best thing is we learn a lot on being patient. Though we rule the roads, we realize that the desert rules us. 

It was a first time for me today and being an absolute newbee, i wasnt sure in the begining if i had made a right choice tagging along with this group. But the day was full of suprises, and loads of fun. Firstly i would like to thank @Rahimdad & @Gaurav and not to forget @Eduardo and the others( sorry forgot their names) who really made my day. the whole day was perfectly organised. got stuck twice and superman Gaurav was there in a blink to tell me what do do next. and voila!! all solved in a second. the amazing thing was not just the drive alone. it was also the passion we could see in these people in regards to being helpful. i have come across many people organising a lot of events. but these people were with you in every aspect when needed. They emphasized so much on safety and i thank them for it. i would like to thank Asif also for the broadcast and assistance.

in Short i dont know if its the people today or if its the drive that was the best. Lets give it a tie. Both the people and the drive today were the best . i am looking forward to be on the next drive very soon. cant wait to deflate my tires again

Hi @razeen hasan welcome to Carnity, your one stop shop for all your car needs. Here you can discuss and question anything to do with cars while making new friends. I noticed that you have already joined our off road club, very warm welcome and thank you for introducing yourself.

We do not run a class room setup but help you grow within a structured environment where you can learn and apply everything about off roading. We have a newbie trip this Friday, but since you are still waiting for your vehicle keep looking for a Newbie drive once you have you Patrol in hand. Wouldn't recommend bring it brand new to the desert. Complete your first 1000 kms as instructed and get the first service done.

Looking forward to seeing you soon.

thank you Rahim. surely looking forward to see you in the next newbee  thanks for the advise

hello everyone. though i have been driving on road for a very long time. i have never done off road. i am purchasing a nissan patrol v8 in a few days and would be interested in experiencing and learning on desert and wadi drives. i would love to have inputs on driving and maintaining my vehicle off road. please also let me know how i can take classes for desert n off road driving. feeling excited .

thanks in advance

best regards
