Dear Sand Sailors

Thanks for RSVPing for the drive. Believe @Simon D has already summed up how fast the slots went through - really appreciate the response and i am hoping we will be as swift during the drive as well 

A drive in Sweihan has been long overdue for me and i am really looking forward to explore the magnificent dunes of this beautiful area, Surely couldnt have asked for a stronger convoy and especially with the company of Lord of adrenaline pumping drives @Hisham Masaad, we are in for some amazing fun.

With 5 days to go for this drive, lets get to the business.. This terrain is going to demand some clear ground rules and preparation. So, lets be sure about the same before we land up at meeting point on Saturday. 

a.) This area demands exceptional Radio communication skills. One miss communication and the whole convoy can be stuck for a long haul. So, please make sure you are very comfortable managing radio.

1. No Radio = No Drive.

2. No sufficient battery in radio = No drive 

3. Missed communication and we might have to exit the driver.

I am sure you all appreciate that safety is paramount.

b.) Unless fully convinced about yours and your vehicle's climbing ability, avoid passengers for this drive. Keep the vehicle light and your mind free of any distractions. I can assure you, this is not a drive which passengers will cherish.

c.)  Check that your vehicle is in perfect shape. You will need all the power that it possess through this drive. 

d.) Ensure you have all your off-roading gears in perfect condition. 

e.) Coming back after a long break from sand - in general my advice is always to go for FB+ or FB drive, before going ahead for Int. drive. Ofcourse, this is just a recommendation based on experience. 

f.) Above all, please be fully rested for the drive. So, plan all parties for Saturday night. 

Another, key element - We have 9 drivers on WL, so please ensure that if your plan changes or you are not sure about your plans, please update the RSVP well in time - lets not lose a slot while we have a long WL.. Thanks for your understanding.

Thanks again for your response. Looking forward to see you all on Saturday.

@Waqas Parvez, your greatest gift is that not only are you so easily approachable but you deliver advice in the most endearing and positive way. Every ear on the receiving end of your words knows that what you say, you mean with only the best intentions. You've helped me out in some of the most stressful moments and in the process, you went from just another acquaintance to a brother.

Every adventure we've shared so far has been a pleasure, and I know that there's many many more to come. This promotion is a testament to your phenomenal spirit and I can already see you (officially) leading us through phenomenal tracks in the months to come 🚀

Thank you for your nice thoughts. You have always been a morale booster during our drives and someone who is always upbeat. It has been a pleasure to drive with you, and I know there will be many more in the future.

@Zed will be our tour guide🤣

Congratulations @Andrew McCarthy on the promotion 

Congratulations @Stumpy Paj on the promotion

Dear Waqas @Waqas Parvez truly very well deserved . You have earned it and for me you are there already. From the day one I felt this day would come. Your dedication, passion and smooth personality along the fine skills you acquired will always inspire others to bring the best out of them in this , I would say close family more than just  a car community as well . Hearty congratulations 🎉 and you are definitely a great addition. To the advisor group . Welcome home 🙏

Thank you doctor for the kind words. I still remember my first fewbie drive where I was stuck sideways on a crest and you said waqas dont worry we will take you out, i was out in 5min (this gave me a lot of confidence) In my early days, you @Hisham Masaad and other senior members always spent extra time, giving your input, teaching us different techniques for recovery. I am glad to be part of the team and look forward to driving more with you in the future.

Congratulations @Waqas Parvez for reaching the Advisor Level with Carnity Offroad Club.

Looking forward to seeing you growing further and helping others to learn the art of offroading in a safe environment.

Please make sure your Carnity user profile is always updated with all the latest Emergency contact details.

 

ADVISOR

This Advisor level is the cornerstone of Team Carnity Structure as you will always remain an "Advisor" first even when you attain a Marshal rank. As an advisor, you will, constructively help, support, and advise other advisors with "respect" being part of this big multi-cultural family. You can discuss or even question ideas at any level but respectfully and professionally by keeping all the dialogue exchanges confidential for internal use only.

Your biggest transformation from an off-roader to a leader will be done at this level. With solid experience in supporting drives and handling recoveries, you will join the most comprehensive and power-packed Leaders Lead sessions.

The Leaders Lead Sessions, which consist of 3 drives and significant homework and preparation in advance of the drives, will eventually teach you all about leading and navigating in the desert, extreme recovery scenarios, and learning to lead the convoy in the various terrains UAE has to offer. These sessions are conducted by a crew member, tailored specifically for you, and be done for a handful of members only at a time.

This is invaluable information and exclusive training that you will only receive at the Advisor level with Carnity.

You will be learning the basics of leading the convoy in the desert in three different steps:

• Advance sand reading, planning your lead, terrain, level, and emergency exits.
• Lead with navigational software to systematically scale the lead for all the cars in the convoy.
• Ability to lead, recover and manage the convoy in the most extreme desert available in the UAE.

Once you complete these 3 sessions then you will be eligible to lead drives under supervision:

• Minimum two partial leads for any daytime Fewbie drives under Expert/Marshal/Crew supervision.
• Plan, post, and a lead minimum of four daytime Fewbie drives under Expert/Marshal/Crew supervision.

You can extend above two partial or four full leads  if you need more time to develop confidence.

Once you successfully, complete the minimum of two partial and four full leads under supervision, then you will be eligible for your Expert promotion.

Carnity Contribution	Committed to driving with Carnity off-road club only. Lead/Support: Minimum 6 drives per quarter (3 months). Forum contribution to earn Carnity points.

@GauravThank you for the promotion. Every marshal and member of the support crew has contributed to my growth and learning in off-roading @Carnity has always meant more to me than just an off-roading club; it's like a second family.

Congratulations @Albarqawi85 enjoy your new level.
