Thank you @M.Seidam and all. That was a really fun evening and gave me a chance to learn and practice different skills. It was a great pleasure to support you. You all did really well - driving at night in softer sand with larger terrain can be daunting, but nobody panicked and everybody did the right things at the right times with their driving. @Kashx2 and @Suneedh Wrangler you both handled refusals and reattempts really well, looking forward to driving with you both in the future.

Congrats @Warbs - was a pleasure driving with you the other night, you covered Qudra really well and are clearly ready for the next step!

Congrats @Jessica Lambert! Will be excellent having you helping out and passing on hard won experience to fellow drivers.

Soon, @Sam Selim! @Martin M You will need to join another drive for the weekend at or below your current level of Fewbie - this is a Fewbie Plus (FB+) level drive.

A few onboard vids…

@Ale Vallecchi thanks for leading a really fun drive, there was some good opportunities to stretch ourselves and the cars in there and plenty of learning opportunities. Getting out into the Pink Rock and Big Red areas was a chance to test some technical and bigger dune skills, with climbs at a few points too. It was a pleasure getting out with you all! Well done @Johannes Roux for carving good lines as second lead, plenty of Pajero learning for @Carl Stanley and @Jose Luis Campos, @Sam Selim you’re really at one with the car and the quality of your driving is coming up and up - and finally @Beide Worku it’s always fun to see the big cars carve through the dunes without breaking a sweat!

Perfect - I’m in.

@Ale Vallecchi Looks like our attendance list has changed and Khlief has dropped out.

AM preferable for me, but can support PM if majority favour then.

Hey @Ale Vallecchi, no problems - thanks for the early heads up. I’m currently due to support @Looper’s drive on Saturday morning, however I note that @Bjoern is also listed for that drive - so I could drop from there and instead support your drive on Saturday morning. I cannot do Sunday unfortunately. I’ll stay signed up to Looper’s drive for now, and if you change this to Saturday morning I’ll flip over.

Haha, thanks @Marek and @Sam Selim- I did tell people I wanted plenty of opportunities to learn recoveries, and many members of the club have been only to happy to help!

Thanks @Zubail! Been a while since I last saw you, hopefully catch up soon.

@Ishak @Diego @Andrew John Melvill Thank you! Been a great pleasure driving with you all and looking forward to more good times! @Frederic Thanks! A thought to hold onto in these summer months 😂

Dear @Gaurav - Many thanks for the opportunity, and I am looking forward to actively supporting the club and helping out. @khurramm @Luke K P @M.Seidam @Aser @Mike M. @Mahesh_ @Jose Luis Campos - Thank you! It’s been a pleasure driving with you, and I appreciate the kind words. And to Luke and the Doc, looking forward to supporting your drives in the future!

Good work, @J-P L - well done. Looking forward to driving with you again soon.

Thanks @Emanuel - the thought was there at least 😉

Congrats @Luke K P, @Emmanuel and @Ishak - fantastic seeing you progress with Carnity, and I look forward to joining drives led by you all in the future.

That was a really fun drive. @M.Seidam thanks for leading, that was a lovely route with a nice mix of interesting views, easy lines and a couple of technical parts to sharpen skills on. Everyone did really well, evidenced by the very flat sand you kindly left for me at the back! @Imran Asghar I’m really pleased you’re resurrecting the YouTube channel. I’ve found it’s nice just to keep a diary of drives - something to look back on in later years!

Looking forward to joining everyone for what will be my 50th Carnity drive!

That was a really fun morning out! A small but perfectly formed convoy. @Asif Hussain - Thank you for leading a well paced drive on some exciting lines. Always a relaxed but demanding drive with you. Also thanks for the second lead position - really enjoy the chance to take an active role in the convoy. @Johannes Roux - Great work today, watching you in my rear-view, you made some great calls and dealt with everything well. This was a great drive to start your FB+ journey with! @Luke K P - Pleasure as always, and you got to use all the toys today! Shovels, ropes, shackles, jacks, boards…top work 😂

The ChrisW winching service: we’re not happy until you’re not happy!

Thank you again for the late step in, @Asif Hussain - the drive was excellent, very good fun. Really enjoyed myself, you picked some great lines and led the convoy well. Everyone drove to a really high standard as well - impressive that we kept flowing given the size of the dunes and softness of sand!

I’m late to the party here! Congrats @Luke K P, really pleased for you - looking forward to seeing your calm demeanour and colourful clothes doing more with Carnity!

Thank you, Asif! I’m in. In view of the heat I wonder if we should aim to be driving by 6am
