We’ll kick off our Fewbie-level adventure from a northern entry point in Lisali, accessed via the camel track, before heading south and east through a dynamic mix of terrain. The route will feature technical patches and medium-sized dunes ideal for practicing side sloping and ridge riding, offering a balanced challenge for developing drivers. Midway, we’ll pause on a scenic sabkha for a well-earned break and regroup. The second leg of the drive will take us toward Murquab, where we’ll enjoy thrilling sweeping climbs and panoramic views atop some of the area’s most inviting dunes. We’ll wrap up by following a sand track leading to our exit point along the E66 highway, ensuring a smooth and satisfying conclusion to the drive.

As @Davie Smooth_Operator embarks on a new chapter abroad, I wanted to take a moment to express my deepest appreciation for the time we've shared on the sands. From the early days of your journey as an Advisor to the moment you stepped up as a Drive Lead, it's been an absolute pleasure driving alongside you. I’ve had the honor of being your second lead on many of your drives, and witnessing your growth, leadership, and calm confidence behind the wheel has been inspiring. Your dedication and passion for off-roading have left a lasting mark on the Carnity family. You’ve led with heart, taught with patience, and driven with skill — always putting safety and camaraderie first. Whether it was navigating tricky dunes or sharing a laugh at the end of a long drive, your presence made every trip more memorable. Though the desert will miss your tracks, your legacy will continue to ripple through the club. Wishing you all the best in your new adventure abroad — may it be filled with success, happiness, and maybe even a few new trails to explore. Until we meet again, brother — keep the wheels spinning and the spirit high.

Congratulations @Sam Selim. Enjoy the new and important role. New learnings await.

The new journey has begun gentlemen. Enjoy the experience. @Mike M. @Imran Asghar @Mark B

Here is a copy of our drive track. Thanks Mike for sharing your recording of it. Mine was interrupted a couple of times.

Post-Drive Report Thank you everyone for being ready on time! 🙌 We met at the briefing point as scheduled, got organized quickly, and were moving within 15 minutes — great start to the afternoon! We entered the Murquab desert via sand tracks and navigated through some technical terrain. The main challenge was the bushy patches, but we had some nice crests to ride along which gave us a break and added variety to the drive. Our first play area was a lot of fun — hill climbs, side sloping, and ridge riding kept the energy up and gave everyone a chance to enjoy and practice their skills. On the way to the next section, we crossed a sabkha and took the long way around due to a group in the middle, possibly doing falconry or something similar. The second play area had decent terrain for layered navigation — up and down hill climbs with some technical lines to follow. At the next sabkha, we took a short break. It was here that @Warbs reported a mechanical noise from the front left of his Jeep. After some troubleshooting, it appeared to be related to the front differential when in 4Hi, but not in 2WD. We decided to exit him from the drive, which worked out well since we were already heading toward the pylon track to Qudra. He was able to continue safely to his exit point. We then entered the Qudra Secret Dunes — a beautiful stretch of mostly clean dunes that allowed for some excellent sidies and ridge riding with a nice fast pace. Everyone drove really well, maintaining good pace and safe spacing. ✅ No stucks, and only a handful of refusals — all quickly assisted by @Mike M. 💪. 🙏 Big thanks to: @Michael asir as our Second Lead, keeping the right amount of distance and time to react to last second course corrections advised. @Mike M. in Center Forward, for assisting refusals and keeping the middle strong. @J-P L in Sweep, for watching the rear and ensuring we stayed together. 👏 Great drive, great teamwork, and great fun. Looking forward to seeing you all again soon in the sand!

@Baha2242 Welcome to the Carnity Offroad club. I see you are on the Mange list for the Fewbie and above drive Friday afternoon. Unfortunately as a new joiner your rank is only Newbie and you are not ready yet to join this level of drive. You will be removed from the waitlist. Looking forward to meeting you soon and I wish you success and enjoyment on the start of your offroad driving experience.

Well done @Ishak. Looking forward to joining one of your drives soon. Enjoy the new role!

We’re organising a scenic and moderately challenging off-road drive from Murquab to the Secret Dunes of Qudra, starting westward before moving northwest. This route offers a great mix of terrain—perfect for those looking to build confidence in the dunes while still enjoying a bit of variety. We’ll begin with soft, rolling dunes that are ideal for warming up and getting into the rhythm. As we progress west, the dunes gradually increase in size and complexity, offering a fun challenge without being too technical. Around the midway point, we will encounter some sabkha flats—likely where we will take a break, depending on the conditions and timing. As we head into Qudra's Secret Dunes, expect more varied terrain with scattered bushes and camel grass, until we see the open dunes ahead of us for the finale part of our planned drive. Looking forward to seeing you out there for a safe and thrilling desert adventure!

Post-Drive Report – Lisali to Qudra Secret Dunes What a fantastic afternoon out in the sands! First off, a big thank you to everyone for being ready and present for the briefing right on time — it’s always a great sign of a committed convoy and sets the tone for a smooth drive. A special shoutout to @Ale Vallecchi for joining us today. This drive was particularly meaningful for me, as it marked my first solo lead drive since being promoted to Expert, with a marshal joining the convoy. It felt full circle having Ale there — he was the marshal on my very first Carnity drive back on December 31, 2021. What an incredible journey it's been to reach Expert level, and I truly wouldn’t have wanted to do it with any other club. Carnity has been a cornerstone of my off-road growth, and today was a proud milestone. The drive plan unfolded exactly as intended. We began in Lisali, cruising through fast-flowing tracks and gentle dunes that gradually built in size and complexity. The convoy maintained excellent spacing and a solid pace throughout. The first and last thirds of the drive offered fun ridges and playful side sloping, while the middle section challenged us with a technical patch — which everyone navigated impressively. Massive thanks to our support team: @J-P L and @Fabien Monleau in center forward — great job keeping the convoy tight and safe. Ale in sweep — always reassuring to have your eyes at the back. @Michael asir in second lead — you responded to my course corrections with precision and calm, well done! A huge thank you to Fabien and his winch for saving the day during a tricky recovery. @vinayak n found himself in a nasty pocket complicated by a PVC pipe overhead, but Fabien made quick work of it, allowing us to exit a bit early and with smiles all around. We wrapped up in the Qudra Secret Dunes, a stunning area with golden sands and scenic beauty — the perfect place to reinflate and share stories from the drive. Wishing you all a great weekend and looking forward to seeing you on the next adventure! Here is our drive track and stats. We covered 45 kms across a nice elevation profile. Well done!
