Drive Report: Great to see all members signed up arriving ahead of time, deflating and prepping ready to go . We had a quick briefing, very interactive one and off we headed into an area - Area 53 which is generally explored by more experienced members. I had the blessing of some excellent support by @Veedooshee (2nd lead to perfection), @Alex Raptor, @M.Seidam and @marks who were fantastic in advising and assisting the refusals and a pop out fixed in record time. Always great to catch up with few of them whom I met after a really long time. Thank you for your support friends!🙏 We at Carnity never encourage any businesses or garages , and especially on drives at the meeting, during the drive or exit points. Please bear in mind that at public places when someone approaches you for this, take it with caution as it is beyond my or support members control at times to avoid this. We had a slow start into some areas which warmed you all up, probably a bit too much for your car @YazGayed. Really sad to see that leak from your radiator , due to which you had to exit early. Till then you drove and did some wonderful self recoveries. We would like to see you back on sands soon. @MANOJ NAIR recovered his Pajero from a tricky side stuck situation beautifully under the able guidance of @M.SeidamOnce back with the convoy after exit, we explored heading towards the bigger dunes and bowls to get a feel of what was about to come as you progress in your drive levels. We had more refusals there and at one point @Alex Raptor presence of mind to hold back the convoy immediately was fantastic as I had to loop back coming down from a soft churned up dune . After @Veedooshee cleared these , the 3rd @Joji varghese and 4th @eldose babyhad refusals there . Great to see you both recovering well from that soft patches by some quick steering maneuvers and gear changes . @Joji varghese you bought back memories of another friend @Jolly Abraham who drives a 4 cylinder 2.7 Fortuner beautifully. We all did some practice in a small , not so steep bowl to get a feel of what you will be doing more often in future . Keeping the pace and using the momentum is the key. The three patrols (Y62 monsters) stacked up showed hardly any issues , wonderful to see how you all managed so well @salah2u, @Hilal Sharafudeen and @Mohamad Anwer. @Rsjiv Samuel, @Alfred Alinazar and @Senthil Kumar driving at the back managed well considering the fact they were on churned up sands. @marks ably guided cars in front of him who needed some assistance in self recovery. All the situations - softer sand, bowls , refusals, stucks , self recoveries, size of dunes , bowls and everything we did on this drive increase tremendously in proportions , effort, concentration needed and the intensity for you and your car as you progress through the levels ahead of Newbie for more adventures and thrilling drives with Carnity. We encourage you all to enjoy the journey learning slowly , improvising and progressing in your levels. This is a hobby and we all want you to learn it in the safest possible manner. Some fantastic pictures are uploaded in the Drive Gallery- thanks to @Veedooshee, @M.Seidam, @Mohamad Anwer.

@Matt.T congratulations

Welcome @Felix Obst . Glad to know you are past what happened unfortunately and everyone was safe. Life always throws up these little challenges, and especially difficult to bounce back when you had kids with you too. Rest assured you are in the right bunch of people who always believe in doing it the right way as much as possible. Take your time and stay safe

@Jason Grima congratulations !!

Dear friends Alex Raptor @Alex Raptor Hilal Sharafudeen @Hilal Sharafudeen eldose baby @eldose baby YazGayed @YazGayed Joji varghese @Joji varghese salah2u @salah2u Mohamad Anwer @Mohamad Anwer Veedooshee @Veedooshee MANOJ NAIR @MANOJ NAIR Rsjiv Samuel @Rsjiv Samuel Senthil Kumar @Senthil Kumar Alfred Alinazar @Alfred Alinazar @Mahesh Khatry ( Waitlist 1) Thanks for signing up on this drive, which was planned since long . A bit of a challenge to take a newbie convoy in an area famous among offraoders and generally kept for Fewbie or above levels. Do not get intimidated by the sheer sight of big dunes, tall slopes, bowls and super soft sand. Not to forget some crazy drivers/convoys zipping past. Considering the fantastic sign ups - as listed above, with support from @M.Seidam and @marks (good to see you after a long time) we will be hoping to have a fantastic time. We will wait till Thursday as to how everything will shape up in terms of drop outs / adjustments to balance all the drives at Carnity. Please prep your cars and make sure they are in the best of their conditions for this challenging terrain. Come prepared with a good nights sleep, lot of patience as I/we expect to have a good share of recoveries /rerouting/ redirecting happening. Please do review the newbie video and remember stick to the basics. @Veedooshee @Alex Raptorand @Senthil Kumar bring in a lot of experience too on this drive and I hope to involve them in a way which will be helpful to all. Enjoy your week at work!
