Hi @Islam Soliman I was planning to bring Y62 tomorrow and was very excited for the drive with you but due to some personal reason I won’t be able to come, so can you please give my spot to someone else. Thank you.

Wish you very very happy birthday Srikumar

Post Drive Report

We had it all yesterday. A very short drive before the first (of many) pop outs, a sharp reminder that off road driving can be dangerous and a fun filled night drive all the way into Last Exit. 

While I cannot claim that the drive hit IM level the whole way through - for obvious reasons we needed to tone it down a bit - the varied challenges made for a fun afternoon. Had it not been for the pop outs and the almost roll-over ... well, that's another story. 

Our route took us from Lisali Fort, through some of the less challenging technical dunes in the Lisaili area [yes, sorry I navigated around the edges rather than going headlong into an advanced techincal challenge] and then some of the lovely long range dunes that the area has to offer leading all the way back to Solar Park/Qudra. 

We had an acceptable number of refusals leading through this area, nothing too serious, nothing too concerning - although the three pop outs early in the day was a bit of a surprise, including my own. 

And then, as we were side slipping our way through some lovely dunes, a very calm and collected @Watteau was heard saying 'don't move an inch Jodah. Richard can you come back immediately and help'. 

What followed was an exemplory lesson in extreme recoveries where within a few minutes, a sideways Y62 was back on all 4 wheels a little shaken, but not stirred!

Credit to everyone involved in that recovery: @Watteau for using the winch with perfect prescision, @Tero Vallasrunning up immedaitely with the flat snatch rope we needed, @Francois Germishuys making sure that the offside of the car was totally under control, @Jorge Stepniak Felippe @Thomas Varghese @varunmehndiratta for digging on the side at the time and exactly where requested, @Islam Soliman for ably assisting in getting all the parts moving at the same time and most of all @jodha singh shekhawat for remaining calm and swallowing the fears he must have felt while sitting in the driving seat while all this happened around.  

After that, and a few moments to recover, all credit to @jodha singh shekhawat for getting back into the swing and driving with us all the way back into Qudra. 

It's always a risk adding time onto a drive. It's one of those things that as leads we do not normally offer, because it feels like you are tempting the off road gods by over staying your welcome - but I take full respmnsibility for offering to extend the drive and add a night driving experience for those that had not yet had it. 

I truly felt that the retribution I deserved for that 'temptation' had been delivered when, within 5 minutes of the start I came down off a slip face to find that the bottom of the dune was hard packed clay and with the speed we had on the dune to clear, the resulting impact left me with 2 pop outs and @Watteau who was following closely behind with one all of his own. 

The time taken in sorting out all three gave @Islam Soliman an opportunity to break his fast, have a snack and say his prayers (so perhaps there was actually some divine intervention involved) before we were on our way again, incident free all the way to Last Exit. As we approached the end of the drive, it was even possible to give the experience of off roading in other countries as we made our way through the trees and bushes. 

All in all, I enjoyed the varied terrain and challenges and the additional learning opportunities faced. It's not often we get the chance to have a really happy outcome from an extreme recovery. Bottom line, I am exceptionally grateful for all that I and others have learned in Carnity so that we could sort out the problems quickly, efficiently and without drama. This could have been much worsefor both the car and it's passengers, but the calm teamwork used to sort the problem was a testiment to everyone on the drive and the training we have been fortunate enough to receive. 

See you soon in the sand. 

Thank you very much @Wrangeld and I appreciate your and the team's support in taking me and my car out of the risky situation yesterday. @Watteau I am grateful to you for stopping me at the right moment and for the help you gave later. Also thank you so much to the entire team of yesterday who helped and encouraged me. @Islam Soliman thanks a lot for taking my son out of that situation and then helping me. Credit also goes to @Watteau for using the winch with accuracy. There is a lot to take in from yesterday's drive, and I believe that yesterday was an amazing day for me that I have learned a lot without causing an accident. When I was inside the car, I felt that it might be my last drive, but when I came back out and the confidence received by @Wrangeld, I felt great and was able to complete my drive. I don't have many words for this but I thank each one of you for your help and support.

Thankyou so much @Lorenzo CandelpergherThis was an awesome drive and really enjoyed.

Dear @jodha singh shekhawat. Thank you very much for booking a spot on this drive. Nonetheless, as you may have seen from the announcement, this is a drive reserved for Fewbies with 5 or more drives with Carnity.  At the moment you have 3 Fewbie drives under your belt, which unfortunately make you ineligible for this drive. Therefore, I am forced to take you off this list, hoping that you can still find a spot on another drive this weekend. I am very sorry for this inconvenience, and hope to see you soon in another all Fewbie drive.

Thanks for the information sir but After this rank total 5 drive completed my four Fewbies and 1 newbie are completed with carnity. 2 Fewbie with Mr Richard 18th and 25th sep-2020, and 3rd with Mr frederic 2nd oct, and my 4th Fewbies with you 3rd oct, and 1 newbie with Mr srikumar 25th sep,
