POST DRIVE REPORT Thank you everyone for arriving early and being ready for our briefing at 6 am. We welcomed our newest Carnity community members - @jamil abdollah, @Maneesh M, and @Cova. From our discussions yesterday and your posts above, it seems like you all enjoyed yourselves. Indeed, there were plenty of learnings for Maneesh and Cova. We successfully made our way through our planned route starting at Three Trees, making our way northwards through some nice sloping dunes to get everyone used to driving in sand with some skill building along the way. We had a break on the sabkha before making our way to Qudra Secret Dunes. Always a fun place to have some fun. We had to exit Maneesh about 3 hours into the drive because he was down to 1/4 tank of fuel. We re-entered after ensuring he was ok reinflating. After about another 40 minutes we made our way to the exit point, on time. Maneesh had the pleasure of trying to figure out how to drive this hybrid in varying sand conditions. Vanessa and I had some learnings around this too. @Maneesh M it will be especially important for you to ensure you fill up completely at the nearest petrol station to the meeting point so you don't have to exit early on our drives like today. As you progress in drive levels, you will use more petrol as these are increasingly more difficult drives and harder on the cars requiring more petrol. A jerry can may also be a good idea in future. Cova had the experience of driving with his car with limited electrics turned off and then during one of the recoveries we removed the relay. It's important to remove it when the engine is off and to put it back in when it is off as well. It will reset all the warning lights after you do this. Check out Fred's post about this. Thanks a mil to @Vanessa8580 in Sweep and @Yerem Davtyan in Second Lead. Vanessa assisted with many of the stucks and refusals. The drive was a far better experience for everyone as a result of her assistance and support. Yerem's winch, first time use, was a key contributor to getting Maneesh out from a soft mucky patch. @jamil abdollah your previous experience driving in the desert and with your car really showed. You will enjoy the next level more in just a few more Newbie drives. Your quick offers to help during refusals and stucks was very much appreciated. Thank you. It was good to see you again @Khalid Sharaf and good to meet you @Kishor. You both drove well. Our track is below. Having completed 53 kms for a Newbie drive is pretty good actually considering we had some very new desert drivers with us. From the elevation profile, we can remember the nice rolling dunes we had along with our hill climbs. Have a great weekend everyone and see you next time.

Thanks for letting me know.

Sorry to hear this Richard. In future please remove yourself from the RSVP. I'll do it this time because I'll be posting the convoy order shortly.

Good morning everyone. Hope you are all excited for our drive tomorrow morning. I'll be posting the convoy order later today. @Richard Jowett and @Maneesh Madayan kindly respond to the message above. I require confirmation you have all the mandatory gear and it would be good to introduce yourself to the other drivers here for your first drive with Carnity.
