first time the convoy was lead by not 1 but 3 JGC😉

I have always believed in JGC indeed it’s a powerful beast on and off road however it needs some one to understand its behavior . I really admire @Brette for that and could eventually make his ship to sail without a sail.

And also explain how do you plan to keep a straight line in desert by dodging dunes, rocks, slip face, pockets, fence, farms, trees etc.

And secondly all grids you mentioned are of different geometrical shapes from rectangle, square, triangle, circle, trapezium, rhombus, etc.

It's not a sea or air, to keep straight as the crow flies.

Agree with you @Gaurav and for the one who’s ain’t a good swimmer may get “drown in an inch deep pond “ ! Especially when there are kids and elderly and no food or water left.... thank God that Cell signal was covered in that area !
 

Congratulations @Chaitanya D for your first independent lead drive. Looking forward drive with you soon dear friend . Cheers 👍🌷🚙

Congratulations @Abu Muhammad well done !

Freedom , friendship , connection , exploration , community .... and at most sharing passion and transmitting knowledge in safe way all of this I could touch it feel it within Carnity offroad club in the desert on the compact sand within the convoy always looking in the rear mirror even if I was the sweep , God forbidden , if some one some how slipped behind during a sharp detour without being noticed !

Hello desert wanderers 

please find below two links a refusal/ stuck of mine ... what happened and why got stuck ? 
 

Self recovery

 

The best way to learn is to document the event ( that’s why I record almost my entire trip when Possible ) and revise the relevant event ) ... in the first video I think main reason of my refusal was lack of proper momentum and I knew it by saying it in the the recovery one.

the second refusal or stuck also lost momentum because I deviated from the proper curve and by the time Brette already passed I was aiming at his trajectory that my X was not in line with it any more , in other words , I was in a situation to fight gravity with lower momentum in an already churned terrain . As a result got stuck . i realize later in the trip when we were going up hill I was about to get into the same situation , instead turned down the bowel , circled twice till I got through but didn’t stop at all ( unfortunately that part was not recorded ) ! 
 

Please if any one can add to this let me know , not only for me , but for every one .

cheers all 🚙🌷😎

Hello desert wanderers

Self recovery

@Nitin Mohan congrats ! 

Congratulation @Abu Muhammad

Congratulations @RaYan E

Oh @Asif Hussain i thought you were already a marshal ! Nevertheless from the good reputation around in here you are probably not less than one of the Carnity’s Legends . Hearty congratulations and hope to meet you and drive together soon .

cheers 👍🚙🙏🏻

Time of challenge 

Starting with early mist and ending with a tire change seemed like the appetizer and dessert for a really tasty big dish “ time of challenge “ that we all enjoyed!

for me it was my second fewbie drive and it’s ain’t like the first nor will be like the coming third as I believe that each drive has its own flavor and taste . 
 

Along and parallel with fossil rock and then the little one ending lining up on a ridge of tall big dune descending all the way over it down which I couldn’t make and I had to steer down to the right and by the time a reached the flat earth I realized that it’s more scary than descending the ridge ( thank God No ABS , real test and worked ).

in between the “ big and little “ our hot meal which was prepared by our Legend was inviting us to it and we were hungry!
 

Negotiating the terrain / dune all the way up was unique and new for me and challenging. I had to learn the fine coordination between the power and momentum in one hand the Gravity pull on the other hand , and in between a thin line remains were the position of my vehicle should be exactly ... I could manage my own refusals by self recovery and my ascend from the second Time once and third In the other circling and navigating where is that thin line, found and reached 

Big thank you and hat off to our Legend @Rahimdad for this extraordinary trip that for me brought the best out , and sure yet more to come.

special Thanks to @Brette for all the effort and patience on us and it was my pleasure catching up with you 

@Rizwanm2 it was nice meeting you . Thank you for your care and being considerate to all members in the convoy.

all drivers I was honored driving with all of you. Enjoy , drive safe till the next round !

cheers 🚙😎🌷

• Teamwork was outstanding. I am a big believer in Carnity's view that the better we are as a team, the more effectively we learn. For the pop out, the pocket and all recoveries, teamwork was exceptional. 
• Lessons have been learned and put into practice. We promised practice today, and we did. Crossing from dune to dune, taking slopes confidently, descending without fishtailing, driving through sticky soft sand. Congratulate yourselves. 
• Your confidence was on show for all to see. Watching how dunes were crossed, crests navigated and slopes covered so confidently was a pleasure. 

Dear Richard @Wrangeld I agree 100% , learning and executing in a teamwork with confidence is what Carnity Is all about in my opinion. Hope to drive with you soon .

cheers 👍🚙😎

the worst thing about this sport, is that the more experience you get, the more you realise how little you know!

Very well said @Kalahari . I believe every single drive is different than the next or previous one even within the same rank . Looking forward to drive with you soon .

cheers 👍🚙😎

Dear @Gaurav and @Chaitanya D i wish i could join this drive that i was waiting for. however as we say in my language : 'the wind comes sometimes against the appetite of the ships' 😔... Job Call 😷!
