Hi @M.Seidam unfortunately having to isolate due to covid so will have to drop out of the drive.
Hopefully the space can be filled by one of the waitlist standbys, have a good drive and see everyone out in the sand soon.

Firstly big congratulations to @Lorenzo Candelpergher on your promotion to Marshal, fantastic to hear your story and how quickly you have achieved this rank in the @Carnity group, a great example to others on what can be achieved.
Very enjoyable drive yesterday, great to see all the Newbies driving so well through the dunes, this is the first (and I suspect maybe the only) drive I have completed so far which has not had a single refusal, so well done to all the drivers yesterday for this and for keeping the momentum of the drive up.
Good to see familiar faces on the drive yesterday and thanks to @Wrangeld and @Alex Raptor for the dad jokes, drive support and opportunity to join the support team.

Good morning.
Here is the meeting location for the Saturday drive: https://goo.gl/maps/Ym96fZ4afEZN7KPWA
The Convoy numbering is below. We will use Carnity radio channel 3.
@darren thompson as it's your first drive of the weekend, you are added.
Unfortunately, to keep the convoy a reasonable size, we cannot take the 2nd drivee on WL.
See you in the sand on Saturday.
Thanks @Wrangeld looking forward to seeing you and the rest of the convoy out in the sand

Hi @Wrangeld I can’t make the Friday drives but also do not want to use up a slot on a newbie drive which one of the newer members could use.
If you are looking for someone to fill a support role would be happy to join for a hit out in the sand

Thanks @Ale Vallecchi for organizing this midweek hit out, its a great way to break up the working week and was a fantastic route through lots of different terrain.
Thanks as always to those in the support roles @Alain Canivet-Abikhalil @Hisham Masaad @Alex Raptor for helping to keep the convoy moving so smoothly through the dunes.
Was an excellent drive, everyone in the convoy doing so well to maintain a solid pace and good momentum from start to finish, I do not think I have been on a drive with so few stoppages and was a welcome surprise to not have to do any digging in the afternoon sun.
See you all out in the sand again soon

Thanks @Wrangeld for another enjoyable drive through the dunes, it's always challenging to navigate the Raptor through the technical dunes but always very rewarding to manage it successfully.
Thanks @Ale Vallecchi and @Hisham Masaad as always for the support throughout the drive, I think I have driven with @Hisham Masaad more than any other person in Carnity and everytime its enjoyable.
Echo your thoughts on the wider group and the growth you can experience, having only been a member since April its been an enjoyable journey so far and looking forward to it continuing.
Big thanks also for putting on a Saturday drive, with the new sports season for the children starting escaping on a Friday is going to be very difficult so good to see Saturday drives being hosted.

Thanks @Islam Soliman for a great drive on Saturday morning. Really enjoyed going out into a new area for myself and testing myself on some challenging dunes.
Great momentum throughout and lots of fun, thanks to @Hisham Masaad @Alain Canivet-Abikhalil and @Chinthaka Ruwan for the gret work in the support roles and good luck @Matt.T getting the jeep back on the road

Thanks @Wrangeld for a fantastic drive this week, the jokes came along nearly as fast as the momentum we maintained through the Dunes.

Thanks to @Srikumar for this excellent drive. I Really enjoyed the challenging terrain, pyramid dunes and attacking the Iftar bowl towards the end of the drive was a lot of fun.
Thanks to @Zixuan Huang - Charlie for a great job at SL, @Nivin for the support at CF and as always the reassurance everyone has when @Hisham Masaad is in the sweep role.
Enjoyed being out in the sand with everyone, thought the convoy kept up the momentum through the challenging terrain really well and was great to see everyone successfully tackling the Iftar bowl at the end.

@Anish S thanks for another great drive, this one being one of my favourite routes that I have now completed twice with yourself. The combination of the large open dunes giving space to play whilst the tighter, more technical dunes really challenging us big boys at the back made for a fun and enjoyable trip.
Thanks @Vanessa8580 for making any drive extremely entertaining and to @Alain Canivet-Abikhalil and @Russ for the additional support roles throughout the drive.
Finally thanks to everyone else on the drive, the momentum was great, with so few refusals that we made great time across the sand and with the exception of camels and random farmers we didn't really have to stop.

Thanks @Jeepie for an outstanding drive this morning. Really enjoyed the variety of dunes, lines and pace with which we tackled this mornings drive. lot’s of fast paced dunes mixed with some more technical challenges kept it interesting and the Raptor working through the soft, churned up sand at the back. Was great fun.
thanks to @Alain Canivet-Abikhalil @Ranjan Das and @Hisham Masaad for filling the support roles so well and helping to make this a great drive.
