Great S/L from @Soufiane thank you for supporting the drive in this critical position. It made the whole drive go way more smoothly. @Sunil Mathew thank you for the excellent support in the CF role, having you there mastering and controlling the middle of the convoy was critical to us getting in and out safely whilst also dealing with the several refusals and stucks that we had. @Rob S thanks for showing up at the last minute to support the drive we would have struggled without you there mate, so thanks again always a comfort to have someone with your knowledge and skill in the sweep position, I hope you all have a great rest of your weekend and I hope to see you all on one of my drives in the near future

@SamBha unfortunately I only have one support team member on the drive so I will have to keep this one to the 12 cars we had on RSVP I hipe to see you on the next one very soon though

If your plans have changed no issue, please remove your RSVP so that those waitlisted can have a chance to attend. Thanks and stay posted for more drive information tomorrow.

@Rpba81 yes if you get a slot you will get notified, I will also send out the convoy order in the forum which will also notify you if you are in the drive 😀

@Prithvi Raj, @Jassislahi, @Hani Howeedy, & @junaidbinnaseer welcome to the Carnity family, as new members to the club please introduce yourselves using the below bullet points if not already done so: First time with Carnity Off-road Club: Please share your vehicle details - Make, Model, Color, and Year. Do you have any prior off-road experience? If yes, pls share details. Confirm your vehicle has front and rear tow hooks/eyelets. Let us know if you don’t have a programable radio and safety flag. Please also watch the MUST WATCH Newbie video briefing at the link below prior to the drive https://youtu.be/hP-2ah4Eyek

@Jassislahi the best advise is to post your questions on the forum, as the advise really depends on your previous experiences, what car you have and any modifications you have made etc. There are a lot of experienced members in the club that will be very happy to give you lots of advice and help.

@Hani Howeedy and @Abdul Hannan looks like the reason you could not get the RSVP to work was that you were a little to quick, I got the notifications 2 minutes to 1900 and the RSVP only opens at 1900 sharp. Great to see how keen you guys are to get out in the sand love the passion @Sunil Mathew I have moved you to the manage tab my friend

@Julien Recan glad to hear that hope this issue is behind you.

Dear Desert Wanderers, @FERNANDO SYRIO, @Julien Recan, @Faraz94, @Xavi Moyano, @Benjamin, @essam ibrahim, @Dan S, @Mahesh_, @Juan R @Gertjan @Mark B, and @Gary F Thank you all for showing up on time this morning and making the drive such a memorable one, we had a little of everything which made the morning pretty special. We started off avoiding the camels on and the camel trainer cars on the way to the entry point where we entered the wonderful Lisalli Desert to encounter a few Technical dunes. This soon opened up into the mid to long range dunes where we were able to gain some momentum. we then reverted back to a tight technical section that you all handled amazingly well with just a couple of cresting's but nothing major to write home about. we made our way back to the longer range dunes where we had our teaching moment. I hope this was valuable to you all as in my mind it is much easier to perform a task if you can see how it should be done and of course how it should not be done. A big thank you to our Guinea Pig @Benjamin for demonstrating the correct procedure, followed by the correct way to follow a steer down instruction, and finally what happens when we hit the brakes mid sidey and then how to self-recover. Amazing demonstration from a superb support team member. We then practiced what we had learnt and each and everyone of you improved as you made multiple attempts, so well done to you all great job. Mid way through the learning session we were joined by a large camel caravan, however they declined to join in the fun. We then had a small issue with @Julien Recans car, it was almost time to exit so we did just that, by the exit it had recovered to full RPM. Please get this checked out @Julien Recan prior to joining more drives and let us know what the garage says please. I would also like to thank my second lead @FERNANDO SYRIO great job my friend keeping the right amount of distance and being able to react to me calls to hold or change the line. well done. A big shout out to my Sweep of the day @Gary F great job mate keeping me informed all the way around and ensuring we did not loose any of the convoy or leave them behind. The Technical prowess badge of the day goes to @Mark B for resetting @Julien Recan fault codes and allowing us to exit him although the update did not kick in for a while we still managed to get the car out kudo's to all. Have a great rest of your weekend and hope to see you all in the sand again very soon.:)

@Mark B sure no issue I will add you
