@Mahesh_ Driving in night is a different experience, some enjoy it and some dont...:) very subjective. However based on my personal experience, I would recommend you do one NB or FB drive, and understand if thats your taste and comfort...personally me too I dont have off road lights, but more than that i have 50% tinted glasses, so i realised my enjoyment is Day light drives but once in a while, specially closer to full moon I love twilight and night drive too:)...

You will! Looking forward to the be part of ur spl 50✌️ As promised this drive will be second leg of where we left last drive, so we start where we had our end , and cover Double bowl in first 30 minutes💥😁!

Dear Nahil'ians ! @Luke K P @Aser @Shaun J @Nizar Shawwa @Julien Recan @Frans M @Alexanderrr @Andrew John Melvill @Faraz94 @Zulfikhar Naiyar @Brett Eicher @azad @Cristian. Am still recollecting how amazingly every on drove - But the star of the drive was @Andrew John Melvill who was on his first drive and was able to keep up with the pace and challenge equally with others who had few drives under their belt at this level and second to be highlighted if I had to highlight would be @Faraz94 with his Haval ! Impressive handling of your machine buddy ! . We managed to do 50% of what I had planned and soon, we will resume where we finished the drive ! Thanks @Luke K P for the Tea again, and you were a perfect SL for the occasion, keeping right distance and rerouting where needed. and @Looper Thanks for strongly anchoring the centre forward of the convoy, and managing those few refusals. and @Zulfikhar Naiyar for sweeping us and with communications all times Am sure you all had a great time, and looking forward to another one soon ! ( Again - Thank you more importantly for being on time - That helped us make the most of our drive and am sure you all noticed it was getting hot by 9am, slightly overshot our exit time by 30 mins: ) @azad - Hope your issue of check engine was sorted and you are all set for next drive ! @Gautam Banka - We missed you - but am glad you managed to pass on your experience to NBs ! Below snap shot of what we managed to cover - see you all in sands sooon !

@Luke K P @Aser @Shaun J @Nizar Shawwa @Julien Recan @Frans M @Alexanderrr @Andrew John Melvill @Faraz94 @Zulfikhar Naiyar @Gautam Banka @Brett Eicher @azad @Cristian. Gents ! Thanks to @Looper, NO WL is left behind. Convoy order for tomorrow's drive as below : Radio channel 2: 446.031 Meeting time 5.30, start time 5.40. Please plan accordingly to start early so we exit on time, making the most of those wonderful dunes Nahil offers ! Please make sure all your off-road gears in place and radios fully charged. See you all tomorrow !

https://maps.app.goo.gl/rTZhZknE9PS68wrZ6 - Here you go - the best option, which even I will be relying on. The next one is slightly far, and you have to go past the meeting point and then take U turn/ Right turn to join : https://maps.app.goo.gl/7jSqSVbTK3NJurxR8

@Faraz94 - Thanks for reminding - https://maps.app.goo.gl/uoPKsJH8NAUYKdnS6?g_st=ic Hope you can make it! 🤞

Dear Confirmed & Waitlisted members !! - If you are sure to join the drive, please react with any reaction emoji - and if you are not sure, or tentative, please reply to this with a message "tentative". ( obviously there could be some last minute issues, but if you are already aware of it, pls do consider those now :D ) Reason : If everyone is confirmed , our very own @Looper has agreed to take split convoy so everyone is able to have a drive - However he has agreed to do this ONLY if its a certain number of confirmed members warranting split convoy ! hence this update, So we can accordingly let Looper also plan his satday morning. . @Luke K P @Aser @Shaun J @Nizar Shawwa @Julien Recan @Frans M @Alexanderrr @Andrew John Melvill @Faraz94 @Zulfikhar Naiyar + WL members @Mahmut @Gautam Banka @Brett Eicher @Deepak Eswar @azad @Cristian. P.S - If your car is in garage and have been promised to be deliver by Friday Or if you have a party on Friday night- These both falls under category "Tentative" . Also note - The drive is in Abu Dhabi, meeting time 5.30, start time 5.40am Thanks DP

Congratulations @Nicolò on the move - More learnings ahead- Enjoy:)

Dear Nahil'ians! 😁 thank you for showing your interest for this 5:30 am challenge! ( Confirmed and WL) members! Can u pls react to this post with any of your fav emoji, if you agree with below : "5:40 We all as a convoy will commence the drive, and if anyone is late , we leave him behind and none of you will consider me rude😅🙏🏼! - This means we all arrive on or before time and be ready for briefing 5:35! and This also means if anyone's GPS shows arrival time beyond 5:30, they leave a message or call me to say they are taking a U-turn back home" Thank you!

Congratulations @Andrew John Melvill ! Very well deserved move ! Enjoy the pace ! Looking fwd to seeing you again on one of the drives !

DRIVE DESCRIPTION Welcome to the Carnity Fewbie Plus Nahel drive. This drive may encounter some super soft with a lot of push required. Series 40 - 3 hours - for those of you wondering what's this derived from: It refers to the closest approx. temp (degree centigrade) which at least half of the drive duration will be experienced, and hence 3 hours drive - which will Commence Sharp 10 minutes from the meeting time!

Dear Fayah'ions @Luke K P @Aser @ChrisW @nithish468 @Talal H @Andrew John Melvill @Sandeep Nayar @Hani crest king @Alexanderrr ! Since I already see a well written summary from @Luke K P - All I would say is, was a very very well done convoy , which made me scale up and aim for the Technical patch right after our break, which again was very well managed by all of you ! Thanks @Luke K P for being the CF, that Chai during the break and handling those couple of refusals and @Alexanderrr for being am amazing SL, was good to see you again back in sand ! Thanks @Hani crest king for sweeping the convoy - and by the time you read this, perhaps you would have done one more convoy sweeping in Dubai ! and YES - YOU TOTALLY JUSTIFIED YOUR NAME IN FIRST 15 minutes of the drive - Infact you were soo infectious you passed it on to other truck in convoy immediately see you all in Sand soon ! Dear @Ishak - I appreciate and respect your decision of informing me for not being able to make it in time, and also not putting me in fix to hold the convoy as everyone else was ready to move - We certainly missed you but am sure this was not the last drive - will see you sooon again buddy ! Below the drive stats and track we took. The detour is where we headed towards the technical area That's a super fancy techie savvy picture ! Dint know they send with all such details ! My recent eyesight prescription too doesn't have details to this level

Gentlemen ! The convoy as below : We will use 446.031. See you with first ray of sun ! @Luke K P @Aser @ChrisW @nithish468 @Talal H @Andrew John Melvill @Sandeep Nayar @Hani crest king @Alexanderrr @Ishak

@Hani crest king - Just noticed you are on 2 drives for Satday - Morning One in Abu Dhabi (Currently WL) and Noon One in Dubai ! Please do let us know the secret source of your (and as well as your Vehicle's ) energy - (On a lighter note).

Hello Summer warriors ! @Luke K P @Vijay Cowlagi @Aser @ChrisW @nithish468 @Talal H @Andrew John Melvill @Sandeep Nayar @Wilfredo Perez @Ahmed Farouk + WL members - @Hani crest king @Alexanderrr @Ishak As we get closer to the date and I start to work on the convoy numbering, can I please request you all to revisit your plan and if any change please accordingly update the RSVP, as we do have 3 WL members too. Some imp elements for you to consider for this drive : 1. TIMELY ARRIVAL : The drive is in Abu Dhabi - and we will move sharp 5.55am and have briefing in sand - so you need to plan to be on or before scheduled meeting time accordingly. The expected temperature around 10am is about 40 degrees ! hence Starting the drive and exiting on time will be crucial. - If you have any late night plans for Friday, I recommend take into account and skip the plan if not, then the drive 2. Its Getting Foggy in mornings, so please have additional buffer while planning what time to start from your residence and not rush up. 3. ALL GEARS IN PLACE : Before starting, please ensure all your gears are in place, Radio's charged and flag mounts + Flags all in good shape and in place.....and goes without saying rest of the season, ensure your vehicles are in good shape and brace up for the heat !

Dear @Victor Socaciu I can completely relate to you, of my initial days into off-roading and excitement and confidence to do FB drives after couple of NB drives - however Safety comes first and the grading structure in place as @Gaurav shared above has been with lot of inputs and experiences in past. Hence I have just removed you from RSVP, so others in WL can plan their weekend accordingly. Would for sure love to see you soon in one of the drives , and btw amazing choice of car jeep power - all the way !!
