Dear Absolute Newbies, 

You are no longer absolute newbies - after today's drive, you are all firmly in the newbie camp. as we drove our circuitous route this morning from Bab Al Shams to Last Exit you had chances to cross dunes, descend, climb and negitiate some nice obstacles along the way. 

@abdelrahman abounar your timing ... well less said about that the better. Please listen to the instructions when you have a problem. It will help you and your fellow convoy members. Well done today. A manual is a new set of challenges. 

@jamie taylor great first drive. Sorry for literally rushing off. A great job by you as a first convoy drive. 

@Abdul Rafay-S all that time in the passenger seat did you proud. Excellent drive. 

@Mohamed Samaco Good first drive. Good self recoveries where needed. 

@Will Seivewright Nice to meet you Will. Strange that the Raptor which has electronics for every little f#$@ has no sensor on the tailgate. 

@Nivin Outstanding. great support. 

See you soon in the sand.

@jamie taylor I am based in Serena. You? 

Yes managed to catch up the Raptor ...

im in Jumeirah islands, serena is Jumierirah village is it. thats 15 mins or so if thats the case

can i drop it off for you tomorow ? i guess perhaps you can see my profile and phone number? if so if you want to drop me a text message or phone call (not whatsapp as thats on another number) we can arrange a convenient time for you and let me know the place to drop it

Hi @jamie taylor thanks for that. Perfect explanation and very common reasons for wanting to try out driving with a club. 

Look forward to seeing you in the morning. 

@Wrangeld - apologies , but i forgot to hand back the radio , let me know what i can do to drop it back somewhere for you

also i hope you managed to catch @Will Seivewright and close the raptor tail

hi @Wrangeld

ive just joined carnity this evening and signed up for this beginners drive at quadra on friday

i look forward to joining 

i saw the questions on the event details so heres the info

1.) jeep wrangler sahara 4 door 2021 no modifications.

2.) ive done 2 EDI driving courses in the past, November 2019 was the last time.been passenger on friends driving out at pink rock, and sometimes taken the wheel for 5 mins on those drives. thats about all of my off road experience really

3.) mainly i do road trips, and id like to be able to just have the confidence to pull off into the sand for camping and bbqs . right now i just stick close by in the shallow, harder packed sand. also when ive camped at beaches ive often parked away and carried my stuff over so having more experience would allow me to make my life easier for this also. and yeh i would also join some drives and do some easy dune bashing/ driving probably
