This post was written by VM on the Carnity forum as drive report. VM is an Expert and regularly posts drives on Carnity and leads convoys. I was the partial lead for this drive.
It started off as an incredibly beautiful morning with amazing weather, oryx lined up to welcome us in Faqaa, all riders on time and ended up with a smile on face having successfully traversed through a beautiful terrain that offered some amazing views while regularly challenging our driving skills. The pleasant morning start, followed by hot and soft sand provided us with a good idea of what lies ahead in the coming months.
Thanks, Looper, for this lovely route planning. A very well executed drive, it literally had it all – some steep climbs, a beautiful over landing experience through bushes and for me the most amazing part was the last one hour with all the crisscrossing.
Everyone did really well throughout the drive. Apart from a 45 min stoppage due to tire issue at the beginning of the drive, we had minor refusals and minor stucks, which were either self-recovered or at most sorted with help of little shoveling. This meant that we had ample time to even practice on a 1 on 1 basis – crisscrossing – hope came in handy for all.
Overall, a wonderful day, thanks all for joining and looking forward to see you all sometime soon.
