Thank you, @Gaurav! I should have clarified - I have a fixed mount installed on the car already (which I’m happy is secure and safe), just wanted to check there would be no issue to using it on the day!

Looking forward to attending - fingers crossed for good weather and conditions! @Gaurav - quick question for you - would it be acceptable to mount a 360 camera on the front of the vehicle? I have a fixed mount (screw in to front bumper), very secure, but wanted to check if Carnity had any "rules" on this one. Thanks!

Morning all - @Davie Chase Thank you for leading another exciting drive. I really enjoyed that, and again learned much and was on the right side of the excitement vs challenge curve thanks to your leadership! @frederic demolder @Mark B @Gary F Great work supporting the drive and thank you for a few assists along the way! My first night drive and I'll definitely be back for more...

Still available and looking forward to it 🤠

Evening all... Firstly my sincere apologies to you all for curtailing the fun! These things happen of course, but nonetheless, do hope everyone had fun. I know I was really enjoying it! @Davie Chase Thank you for leading a really enjoyable and informative session...some great feedback which I will learn from and apply to future drives...and then also thanks to @Fabien Monleau @Sunil Mathew and @Theo09 for your assistance in recovering back to the roadside. I am very grateful for the help and calm approach! Pleased to say that an hour after we reached the road again the car was on a low-loader, and I got to the garage just before close...it took one of the mechanics ten minutes with some basic tools to fix the issue. Davie and Sunil were correct - the cable connecting the transfer case shifter had become detached at the shifter end, so after lifting the centre console the mechanic was able to reconnect it. So...a fun drive in the desert and I ended up driving the Jeep back to Abu Dhabi after all... Looking forward to next time!

Hi Davie, many thanks for the welcome - looking forward to joining in! I’m Chris, living in Abu Dhabi, I run a company during the week so looking for a little social outdoors adventure at the weekends! In order… Car: Jeep JK, Black, 2007 (manual/stick shift) - with various mods for offroad (lift and shocks, tyres, winch, lights, compressor, flag etc) Experience: I’ve been taking 1:1 lessons in the Sweihan area, covering: dune crossing straight up/down, self-recovery, convoy driving (following), side-sloping and sand reading. All daylight only so far, and very early days of sand reading/driving. I have lots to learn! Vehicle fit: I have two hooks/eyelets front and back, plus winch. I also have kinetic ropes, soft shackles, shovel, sand boards etc in the vehicle. Comms: I have a radio, programmed per Carnity guide, and flag. Briefing: Video watched and I’ll complete the next of kin/emergency info template before Saturday. Again, looking forward to joining in and keep my fingers crossed for the weather…

Hi guys, I’m looking for a Jeep specialist in Abu Dhabi who can assist with some minor modifications to my 2007 JK. Grateful for any recommendations via direct message. Many thanks!
