Dear friends, @Islam Soliman, @Rizwanm2, @Jorge Stepniak Felippe, @jodha singh shekhawat, @Ilya Golubinsky, @Mukundan Nair , @Craig Finlaysonand @Jeepie Thank you for signing up for this fewbie plus drive on Saturday morning. At the outset I would like to thank you for being part my first independent lead in Carnity offroad club. I assure you we will be having a lot of fun driving out there. Drive details: Location – on Al Ain road behind Skydive, we will be driving towards Margham, Lahbab and exit towards the pylon tracks which will ultimately take us back towards Al Ain road opposite Lisaili. Continue driving for about 200m once you reach the starting location shared and you will be arriving at the parking lot of Skydive where we will deflate and flag up.We will be doing a quick briefing and make the maximum out of the time in the desert driving. Climate – Expect it to be comfy, can be foggy early morning. Always better to leave a few minutes early so that you can drive safe. Sunrise around 6.17am (expected) Terrain – Small to Medium Dunes,long range, minimal plantation and bushes. Nonetheless there can be areas which will be technical needing your full attention and finesse. We will be doing more side sloping, ridge riding, criss crossing and technical areas. Technical areas are where your drive skills will be tested, as there is very little margin for error. You need to keep right distance from the car in front, right momentum and right approach. Towards the exit there are a lot of play areas with long range dunes, which of course we can enjoy as much depending on the convoy response and how early we reach there. See up close – Camel farms, Falconers, Gazelles and something which will be described on the drive! Exit – onto Al Ain road where there are gas stations at close distance, but better to inflate and drive on the highway. See you all on Saturday morning!

@Ale Vallecchi thanks for passing the Baton. I was a bit edgy as the start as I had to match your finesse taking this convoy who were delighted with your lead till I took over, but I hope everyone enjoyed it. Few refusals in a slightly technical terrain before play areas and exit. Well driven and thank you everyone. Thanks to @Anish S and @Foxtrot Oscar (Angela) for the amazing support. Well done @Islam Soliman to self recover from a very soft pocket, fantastic to see how you are in total control of your car even when in refusals.

Whole convoy today will be a memorable one. @Kalahari thanks! well we have been driving together since we joined this club most of the times. Great to see and learn from your enthusiasm . Not to mention you came back to dubai and joined the evening drive, bravo !
