Emanuel

Thank you all for joining today’s drive and for contributing to a smooth, enjoyable morning in the dunes. Everyone arrived early, which allowed us to start the briefing a few minutes ahead of schedule and get moving into the desert. That kind of punctuality sets the tone for a well‑coordinated drive, and it certainly showed today. A special thanks to @Imran Asghar for the detailed post‑drive report and for leading with such clarity and precision. Watching you weave through the technical dunes, chart clean paths toward our target areas, and keep the convoy informed throughout was a pleasure. Your calm command of the terrain made the entire experience seamless. Appreciation also goes to @M.Seidam for joining us and providing solid mid‑convoy support. Your presence allowed Imran to fully focus on the terrain ahead, knowing the center was in capable hands. @Krinesh, excellent job managing the sweep. You kept the convoy tight, communicated updates at the right moments, and ensured no one was left behind. That steady rear‑guard presence is invaluable. And @Raj K, well done on completing your first Fewbie drive. You handled the challenges with increased confidence and adapted quickly to the pace and rhythm of the level. A strong start to your Fewbie journey. Overall, it was a well‑executed team effort from start to finish. Looking forward to seeing you all again on the next adventure.

Thanks for letting me know.

Good afternoon everyone! Hope you are excited for our drive tomorrow morning. Please let me know if your circumstances have changed and you cannot join the drive. I will be posting the convoy order in the next few hours. Special mention --> @Imran Asghar will be doing his 2nd partial with us tomorrow. Also, when using Google Maps to get to the meeting point, have a good look at the suggested route to make sure it makes sense. It made a long way to get there for two drivers last time I used this starting point.

Congratulations Raj. Enjoy the new challenges and learnings in Fewbie.

DRIVE PLAN This Saturday, we’re heading into the heart of the Al Ajban desert for a thrilling morning drive that promises a mix of technical challenges, scenic dunes, and fast-flowing tracks. Our route winds through a diverse desert landscape, starting with firm sabkha flats perfect for our initial briefing and warming up the convoy. As we progress, the terrain shifts into medium to large rolling dunes, offering plenty of opportunities for side sloping, ridge riding, and bowl play.

Thank you, @Gaurav — truly appreciated. I feel very fortunate to be part of such an incredible community of off‑roaders, nature lovers, and thrill seekers. We all join Carnity for different reasons; for me, it was to build the confidence and skills to overland and reach desert camping spots. That quickly evolved after my first newbie drives with legends like @Ale Vallecchi (my very first drive), @Islam Soliman, @Frederic, @Vanessa8580, @Brette, and @Davie Smooth_Operator, sparking a passion to learn more, drive harder routes, and see more of the UAE’s deserts. Some standout memories include reaching the top of Big Red for the first time on a @Looper Fewbie Plus drive, and the breathtaking highs of Nahil and Sweihan. Being invited to the Support Team was another defining moment — a chance to give back for the patience and guidance I received over the years. Then came the unforgettable leadership training with you, alongside @Ishak and @Luke K P, followed by our first recovery together, a surprise supervised drive where I had to lead solo, and my first independent drive with @Ale Vallecchi joining for fun — coming full circle after he led my first newbie drive. There are many other names that come to mind like @JeromeFJ, @DP1011, @Gaurav Soni, and @Mike M. though there are way too many others to name here. Now, leading my first newbie drive in the very area where I learned to drive safely and properly in the desert feels incredibly special. I look forward to welcoming and supporting all the new members who continue to join the Carnity community. We have something very special here and we also thank you @Gaurav for your dedication and leadership to our community.

What an amazing coincidence! 😁 Our drive yesterday in Qudra South coincided exactly to the day 4 years ago when I did this same area as a Newbie with @Islam Soliman. @Yerem Davtyan I see you were also there with me.
