Please add me to the wait list 

Thanks @Frederic for your guidance , drive was amongst the toughest of the 6 drives done so far, first time for me to get stuck and needing a tug .I was told am shy on gas but belive me ,I was flooring it .I think the sand was very soft and may be we need 12 psi iso 15 ..also cresting due to lack of momentum and recovery by 4 lo , diff lock , steering left right was a nice self recovery experience .Thanks Chaitanya for your support with the tug and radio guidance .

Is it good for all Terrain tyres ?@Fredric

Great drive Gavarav , super lead and empathy,Great radio support and guidance .Was able to get out all refusals , but most  hilariously needed a tug after tyre reinflation 5 meters from the road .Thanks Gaurav and sorry for being in parking gear in the first two tugs .Lessons learnt in the desert , maintain adequete distance to develop torque momentum , maintain visual range .For reinflation chose a spot ...well  on the tarmac .

 We got close to Pink Rock , saw it but as Gaurav said we missed out due to couple of folks  requiring  challenging  time consuming recovery .Suggestion : since we cannot leave the vehicles or turn our attention away from the radio it would be nice if we get some verbal commentary  on the recovery process , that way we can be engaged  and learn from these recoveries as well as  be updated on the status . If two seniors are doing the recovery the the third can educate the others on radio.🙂

Yesterday drive was great , certainly a level or 2 up from the morning newbie drive , great drive leadership from Sri Hari and sweeps from Vanessa and Alex .Excellent guidance on the radio.I had 3 refusals , two were due to inadequete momentum and solution of reverse and rely worked .One required steering guidance , gear guidance to 4Lo all transmitted on radio clearly .These drives build confidence , discipline and mindfulness .So delighted to have joined the carnity off road club.Look forward to more adventures , safe and fun.Thankyou Seniors and co members of the convoy .

Sri hari  the link to the meeting point is not working on my Google maps , please advise if it the same spot as last fridays morning drive meet up point

@Dagdag Sofiane @Tamas Hoffmann @Aayan Iqbal @Probir Mukherjee @Ajiesh George Kannankara

As some of you would be joining us for the first time after last week's Absolute Newbie Drive, please ensure that you have the following for this weekend's drive.

1. Deflator

2. Tyre Pressure Gauge

3. Flag

4. Radio (buy the one's with a display as they are easy to program)

5. Compressor (as we would not be exiting near a gas station)

6. Shovel (Do not buy the foldable ones) - You get good deals at Speedex and Sharjah Industrial area. Ace is another option but probably more expensive.

The below thread mentions where you can get the above items.

For programming the radio, please go through the below post which contains a video demonstration on how the programming is to be done. You will need to program all the 5 Carnity Frequencies on the radio. Please program in advance during the week and not before the drive as that would make the entire convoy wait. 

If there are any queries or questions please post them on this drive or on the above mentioned topics and we would definitely assist you. 

Srikumar which is the best place to geta flag mount suction type and what would be the cost .Thanks .

TRIP REPORT

Qudra offers the perfect play ground for Absolute Newbies to start learning the basics of offroading. With a nice looking convoy signed up, I was eagerly looking forward to a wonderful drive. Such was the excitement that I had reached the meeting point at 4:30 am to only find @Vanessa8580 already waiting since 4:20 am. 

As we started deflating our own tires the entire convoy of Absolute Newbies started trickling in well before the meeting time. With a quick introduction @Vanessa8580 started helping deflate few of the new offroaders who needed assistance. Upon checking the tow points, we came across @izzumonv who unfortunately didnt have tow points at the back of his car. Tow points is the most important requirement to start offroading and its mandatory to have them at the front as well as back. Hope you get them fixed by next weekend and we look forward to having you onboard.

With @Pancho as my second lead, @Rahimdad as center forward and @Vanessa8580 in sweep we lined up the entire convoy. After a quick absolute newbie briefing we started moving on some nice easy tracks.

Within a km of entering the desert while helping recover @Juan Carlos Elizalde Reyes we found that one of his tyre's sidewall was peeling off. As it was unsafe to drive the car in such a condition in the desert, Rahimdad and Vanessa  escorted him back to the road. Juan, your car had some serious lack of power, and probably it is the Oxygen sensor. @AKR had a similar issue and maybe he can share some light on what he did to get it sorted.

With the convoy settling down and the increase in confidence, I started increasing the pace in some of the medium range dunes at the back side of Qudra. With plenty of opportunity for side slopping the convoy responded extremely well with a minimal of fuss. Well done.

@[email protected] impressed me both with his nicely lifted Pajero as with the drive skills that he displayed. Nicely done.

@Hardik Mody was our adventure man for the day with a couple of jumps and going off the track. Luckily nothing happened. However, for me the highlight was how you self recovered yourself out of the pocket. 

@Tamas Hoffmann was the quietest guy in the convoy and he didnt break a sweat to manage his Pajero throughout the drive. 

@Gaurav Tomar joined in his JGC. Though it has a lot of power, its a beast that needs some practice to tame. But you managed it well.

@Sara EL FANIDI did pretty well in her Wrangler. Couple of moments while doing the side slopping, but overall good driving. 

@Javier Lucero really enjoyed himself at the back of the convoy despite the cross tracks as he was riding a but higher than the other cars and testing the power of the Wrangler.

@Probir Mukherjee joined with the mighty V8 LC and he sailed through most of the dunes with the utmost of ease.

Thank you to @Pancho for supporting the drive in second lead position. Big thanks to @Rahimdad and @Vanessa8580 for managing all the refusals and stucks quickly and to ensure that the convoy keeps moving at a good pace.

Well done everyone. For the next drives at Newbie level, please bring along a deflator, pressure gauge, flag and radio as a minimum. Also like I mentioned during the debriefing, join the Carnity Whatsapp Drive Notification to get the latest updates on the drives and so that you can RSVP on time for the next weekend's drive. Till then drive safe.

Thanks again . Spl thanks to Rahim .. too.
