Dear Desertnauts

A quick briefing for tomorrow's drive. Get ready for a possibly challenging "technical" drive, on soft sand, and through tight dunes, with bowls, low but very wavy crests, and some vegetation, especially closer to the Qudra area. On the way back to the "Eye of Sauron" we should find the time to drive on some long range, taller dunes, where we'll do our best to speed up and practice switcing as well as side-slopes.

The convoy at the moment looks like this:

@Mahmut in Second Lead

@Jerome at #3

@Giacomo at Center

@Hartzel at #5

@Shary at #6 and 

@J-P L in Sweep.

See you tomorrow afternoon. Have a nice end of the week.

Hi @Ale Vallecchi, apologies for the late notice, but an urgent personal matter just came up that needs my immediate attention. I won't be able to make the drive today. Have a fantastic time out there.
