Hello the dune bashers...
This drive was very special to me, it was my first time officially leading a desert convoy with Carnity!
Everyone showed up on time, ready and eager, which gave us a great start and set the tone for a smooth and enjoyable morning. There was one blue FJ at the meeting point without flag and radio 😁, he even joined the briefing!. Fortunately, just before we moved out, @Looper asked "who is in the blue FJ?", we explained to him the situation, removed the flag, took the radio, and kindly sent him home.
we started with warm-up, riding small ridges and gradually moving to longer ridges toward the pink rock. We climbed the dunes slowly before pink rock, took a nice break with group photo and then start again with rainbows on the pink rock. all of this was great preparation before climbing the big reds.
We crossed the pink rock with ease, then continue toward the big red with some nice side-ies and climbs along the way.
Finally we reached the BIG Reds, I tried twice and could not make it because there was a tricky turn, then we took one track on the right next to the ATVs, and we had another climbs.
Everyone drove fantastically, we had some minor refusals but the self recoveries were excellent.
We also did some fun looping as I copied from the owner @Looper to see how the convoy moving and thank you for the feedback.
well done @Danie for your first fewbie drive, you kept up with the pace effortlessly.
Great self recovery @khurramm!
Awesome driving @Paul Eldho with the Xterra
Excellent handling of that big LC on the ridge riding @Kirill K, hope there is no major issue on the underbody.
