Hi All

With the convoy nicely oversubscribed, could you all please confirm and/or update your RSVP (including those on the waitlist) by COB Friday.

I will then finalize the convoy order on Friday Evening/Saturday Morning. 

Thanks

Andrew

Hi @Andrew John Melvill I had to withdraw my RSVP since some personal appointment came in. See you soon in the next drive. Enjoy the sand. 

I'm still keen, have even set my alarm this time! 

@Andrew John Melvill, will know this afternoon/evening if I will be able to get my jeep up and running. 😅

Good Morning All

@_luke_, @Raptor Runner - Praveen, @Khalid Sharaf, @MarkH, @Vanessa8580, @Lukas Wii, @Kirill K, @saumik1989, @Looper, @Hartzel, @khurramm, @Deepak Eswar and @J-P L

The tight and twisty dunes are calling! Please check your cars over today before the drive and bring plenty of fluids for yourselves and any passengers. There may be a bit of shoveling so need to stay hydrated. 

The plan is to hit two different technical dune cordons with a break in the middle at Cresent Moon Lake. 

The convoy list is as follows:

See you all tomorrow for a briefing at 06h30, please ensure that your tires are deflated and flags up before then. We will be using CH 4 on the radios. 

Hi

Some seem to be having an issue with the meeting location link.

If you are having the same issue, please use these co-ordinates:

24°49'08.6"N 55°15'20.1"E

And the google maps link again for good measure:

Hello @Andrew John Melvill, have to drop. Jeep did not make it in time 😂. See you on other drives. Enjoy tomorrow’s drive 🏜️

Hi the cycle track is busy please be careful when crossing. Thanks

Thanks all for joining today and for being on time. The drive lived up to the reputation of GoTech drives of the past. With many refusals and stucks, all met with teamwork and smiles. 

Part one was tough with lots of close unstructued dunes and many tight bowls. After around 90 min we stopped for a very necessary break at crescent moon lake. Was good to catch up with everyone and partake of the snack Luke brought along.

Part 2 was the highlight for me with clean white sand and once we were through the 1st very tight section it opened up for some lovely ridge runs allowing the drive to flow. At 09h30 we turned towards the track to be treated to a large herd of Oryx, before we headed towards the exit. 

A special note to @Raptor Runner - Praveen who was on his 1st FB drive, great handling of your truck! 

The entire convoy drove very well handled the technical terrain very well.

Lastly could not have done it with the amazing support from @_luke_, @Vanessa8580, @Looper and @J-P L

Till next time 

Amazing drive Andrew & Team! Thanks for all the support and help on my first FB drive in the most technical dunes I have ever driven…. Loved it, fun and  learning experience ❤️

Love the pics, thanks

Thanks for today and congratulations once again on hosting your first event!
