Great newbie drive today. We started deflating before the sun rise and started out after the first timers briefing. Lots of large flowing dunes to start with as the sun rose making for some spectacular scenery. As the day heated up we all got a chance to practice some digging and recovery work 💪💪 @Riyal Shareefgreat first drive. A couple of unexpected flying events but you keep going and delivered a strong drive! @Aser great work doing the second lead keeping us out of trouble, @Karthik_LC200 thanks for your sweeping and recovery guidance. @Asif Hussaingreat to do a drive in Abu Dhabi. Thanks for leading and looking forward to some more as the weather cools. Will drop some photos in the gallery tonight!

Wow 🤩🤩 is it too late to switch to this drive instead???? 😜

Maybe just have a read of the radio info here and preprogramme your radio before Sunday 👍 https://carnity.com/advice/offroad/carnity-two-way-radio-frequencies-r119/

Thanks for the tip @Sunil Mathew. Plan on checking if this is the culprit tonight. Obviously damaged from my over enthusiastic usage of horn 😅😅

Thanks @Zed will give these a try see what i can find.

I use my horn quite regularly during daily driving...(its amazing how many people need my horn assistance when navigating round-a-bouts in abu dhabi 🤪) today i just get nothing. no noises. Checked fuses 12&13 in engine bay and they are fine... is there anything else *simple* i should check before taking it to the mechanics to have a look?

Thanks guys! appreciate the mention 🤩 Hope to drive with you all soon.

Have a feeling I'm gonna end up in similar situation. 😅

Nice one @taz911 👍👍👍 Hope we see you out in the sand soon!

Thanks guys. Looking forward to seeing you out there 😎🙏

@Looperok prob just stick to the fewbie drives then!

is FB+ no passengers?

Thanks @Gaurav looking forward to some f+ adventuring!

NEW GLOVES NEW LEVEL 😎 lol thanks mate. Mia is actually super pumped for some fast drives and 'crazy dunes'

Nice work Essam. Hope to see you out in the sands again soon

Thanks @Gaurav @DP1011 this might be a bit better for protecting the back of hand when shovelling etc from the looks of it.

That was easy. Cheers mate will go pickup a pair.

Tired of touching hot things and the sand with the low quality cotton gloves that came with my tow rope. What are peoples best suggestion for something readily available which does the job well of protecting from heat but still has decent finger articulation. (Not for wearing while driving, just for messing with the car and doing recoveries.) Looking cool whilst wearing them is a bonus but not a requirement 😁
