@Vanessa8580 congrats and you deserve this. Looking forward to see you as marshal soon.

 

Thank you @Asif Hussain! 

I still have a long way to go to become a marshall I'm afraid 😉

@Vanessa8580 so proud of you. I've been talking about off-roading to my wife for past 12 years now and she just wants me off her back. At times she gives me a cold shoulder. I am really impressed. Love your energy. I was just speaking to @Frederic the other day how both of you have so much energy and got married and still in love. He tells me your energy tires the kids out but not the love between you. Now it is clear to see you bring the same energy to tire us all out. Congratulation beautiful one.

Thank you @Rahimdad, it means a lot to me coming from you. 

I just got very lucky that 15 years ago I met my best friend and soulmate and he became my husband and father of my kids. I know some think we are a bit of an odd couple but we make it work ! We are having a lot of fun together and always have each others back. 

I will keep bringing my smile, enthusiasm and energy to the club and hope to have many more adventures in the desert ....

Congratulations @siddharth maheshwari!

Congratulations @Foxtrot Oscar!!

Congratulations @Shiju Manuel!

Congratulations @Michael sammy!

Thank you @Gaurav, @Srikumar, @Emmanuel, @Rahimdad and of course my hubby @Frederic for the promotion. I am super happy and feel a bit emotional. I didn't expect to go this fast from newbie to intermediate.

To be honest, if you would have told me a year ago that I would enjoy off-roading and would be in Carnity group, I wouldn't have believed you. I saw how much Fred was enjoying it and he kept talking about it so I wanted to see for myself what he was talking about. I am so happy I joined it and I definitely have the off-road bug, maybe even more than my hubby !

I cannot wait to join in recoveries and learn more every week and I appreciate all the support I am getting. I will do my ultimate best to make everyone proud that I am a part of the Carnity family. 

I was a bit nervous for the drive today, first fewbie drive with my big blue and @Emmanuel his second lead ! I didn't want to disappoint him ... 

Like always, my enthusiasm takes over as soon as we start the drive and the nerves go away. It was also the first time I did a drive with @Emmanuel as the lead and he is amazing ! He keeps up a good pace and makes you take some nice slopes and dunes. We also had a nice play area at the end of the drive. Unfortunately I couldn't do some more playing because of the curfew. 

I cannot wait until my next drive ! I become more confident in my big blue and I am sure we are going to have many more adventures !!!! 

Congrats @Xaf and happy birthday !!!!!

Congrats Ale ! Well deserved !!

Thank you @Emmanuel ! Always nice to read such comments from an experienced driver ! I love off-roading and I enjoy every drive. I was happy to finally be able to do a drive in the same convoy as you ! I am looking forward to join a drive with you as a lead 😁

Congratulations @Pancho !!

Congratulations @Jamy B. !! 

Thanks @Srikumar for again a fun drive ! It was the second time that I was able to explore Sweihan and I really love the area .... So much fun there ! 

There is indeed a bit of a difference between our little blue and our big blue but I am happy I am able to manage both cars !! Not sure though if the car will be able to make it on higher levels but I am very confident @Frederic will find a solution for that 😜

I hope to see you all next week !!

My first fewbie drive, with @Jeepie as my copilot was amazing but challenging !! I feel there is quite a jump from newbie to fewbie level but I managed well except for the last stretch of the day where I really got stuck ! In all the panic I couldn't even get my car into 4 low and didn't even know where the button of my differential lock was located !! Luckily @Gaurav and @Srikumar were there to help me out and save my little blue.

I definitely learned a lot today and my confidence got an incredible boost. I was satisfied but exhausted after a full day of driving !! 

@Wrangeld

I love reading your trip reports ! 

I think I did well in my little blue, next week it's time to try the big blue 😁

Thanks @Srikumar, I had a blast yesterday !!! I think I also caught the off-road bug like my hubby 😁 I definitely want to do weekly drives if the kids let me. Next week, you will see me in my big blue instead of the little blue, Fred made sure I have 4 new off-road tires. 

Hi guys,

Been looking forward to joining a newbie drive for a while now. With my husband having a painful neck I'll be taking the wheel tomorrow. I did some basic offroading in Maliha-Fossil rock with my husband and would love to get to know the Carnity Offroad Club Members !
