Dear @Wrangeld and @Srikumar thank you very much for your help in fixing my pop-out. I particularly appreciated your extremely careful approach towards health & safety, constantly reminding not to take risks while the car was lifted, while digging under the wheel and while handling the tire during inflation. Of course thanks also to @Rahimdad for leading the convoy and taking us to the play area, which was indeed quite fun.

The view from fossil rock was beautiful (next time I'll take the drone!) and the descent indeed quite an interesting new experience in 4L 1st gear. 

I'm attaching our route today. For those who fancy how I got it, I used Pathaway on my mobile. I find it pretty cool: total distance 17.7km, 3h 7min total ride time (including stops).

Hi @Lorenzo Candelpergher i've noticed that you have signed up for 2 drives on Friday.

With the large number of newbies we currently have and the limited drives, we are requesting to book/select only one drive. So please select one drive and unsubscribe from the other one so that space becomes available.

Thanks for your understanding.

Fred

HI @Frederic thanks for noticing it. I hand't realized I hadn't canceled already, given that I prefer the morning one. I have changed my RSVP so someone else can join.

Hi - I see all drives have reached their limit. Pls let me know if anyone drops out or a space becomes available. I can do Newbie/Fewbie morning or evening. Hope all is well. - thanks. Ali (BUNTY_and_POPS)

@bunty_and_pops FYI I just canceled from the Tawi Nazwa afternoon Fewbie Drive

OK. Perfect, thanks for the suggestion.

Hi @Gaurav,

I am a Newbie according to Carnity criteria, as I joined the Club in March, even though I have accumulated 11 rides with other groups and friends. Would it be possible to be placed in a waiting list for this ride, in case anyone drops out?

Thanks, 
Lorenzo

HI @Gaurav,

Dear @Rahimdad,

yes I'm indeed a licensed commercial drone pilot (i.e. I can fly even big/heavy drones for professional use, mostly in construction projects). But I fly a lot as a hobby and if, in one of the next rides, we could plan for it in advance, we could do some more serious drone shootings for everyone's fun, which I would gladly have Carnity brand and use for promotional purposes.

We could choose a nice short track (not more than 300-400m - max 20', it won't take more) with some interesting spots and do some car tracking (i.e. I can shoot drone videos "chasing" or flying around each single car (speeds up to 65km/h can be managed) and doing some other fun stuff which can be quite interesting to watch also if one is curious to see his own driving style and manouvers. Not to mention low altitude landscape shootings which would give a completely different perspective of the desert..

Check out an example of car tracking (I was just testing a new drone feature, so no ambitious driving):

And check some landscape low altitude flight (approx. 30 to 50m, again this was just a test, no ambition on the quality of the images):

Keep it in mind for the next rides!

Dear @Rahimdad and @Wrangeld, 

It was a wonderful first ride with Carnity, a bit surreal because of the social distancing, but I loved every minute of the company and the lanscape. And the driving, above all! 

Have a look at my video from yesterday here (next time I'll make sure my windscreen is clean...) and don't miss the drone shot at 1'50"!!

Thank you all, and see you at the next ride.

Please read and understand all the points below before joining off-road drives.

With the current COVID-19 pandemic, we all need to be very responsible for our-self and others.

• To keep the briefing short, please go through https://carnity.com/brief before joining the drive.
• Adhere to all the COVID-19 Precautions for Carnity Offroad Drives STRICTLY.
• Bring your own walkie talkie, as we no longer share spare radios, even for absolute newbies. Also ensure that they are programmed to the 5 Carnity Frequencies. If any doubt read the below thread

 

PLEASE ACKNOWLEDGE THIS POST BY CLICKING "TOTALLY AGREE".

@Gregory Perkin and @Bibin Tom please keep checking the callander for any drop outs and make sure you RSVP on the callander. Please do not attend the drive without a callander RSVP as we will not be able to accept you as a safety risk. Good luck.

Totally agree!
