TAN @Emmanuel @Jeepie Thanks for signing up for the Badayer/Iftar Bowl drive tomorrow afternoon, evening. HIS DRIVE IS NOW CLOSED It's a lovely Thursday morning in Dubai/Sharjah and by this time tomorrow evening , We hope to be out of the desert having visited Iftar Bowl, and enjoyed a Fewbie drive that should be a fun and challenging drive. The drive tomorrow is planned to take us through some excellent long wide dunes so we can practice driving across the dunes. We will also try to pay attention to get some more basic practie in some less practiced skills in the Newbie drives such as criss corssing and ridge riding. There should be plenty of time for 'play', depending on the number of stucks and how busy the dunes are at that time of the afternoon. So below is the convoy list, so you know where you are and are expected to be. Radio Channel will be Carnity Channel 4 for this drive. If for some reason you did not yet program your radio, DO IT NOW. There is an excellent guide on how to do this written by @Frederic. There will be no time for nor anyone avaialble to reprogram your radio tomorrow morning. If you are really in trouble with the radio then ping a message here and we will try to help you through the prcess. So they can prepare themselves mentally. 2nd lead - @Colin Jordan, Centre Forward @Roshan Abraham @E.C. TAN will sweep and @Emmanuel will be flying sweep. Sand conditions: The sand is soft and will suck you in, especially where we are headed ... but more on that tomorrow in the drive brief. Please deflate and get your flag erected as soon as you arrive so we can get moving ASAP. If you can move away from the stores at the meeting point that would be best so that we are not seen to congregate or 'gather. Looking forward to seeing everyone tomorrow afternoon. Should anything unexpected happen and you are unable to attend, please let us know. Otherwise, we will leave without you.

Lorenzo Candelpergher Posted June 25, 2020 Report Share Posted June 25, 2020 Dear @Wrangeld, due to a change of plans unfortunately I have to unsubscribe this ride: family first, this weekend. Luckily it is early enough for someone else to take my place. I wish you all a beautiful ride, see you next time! Ciao, Lorenzo 2 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ciao, Lorenzo Hi @Lorenzo Candelpergher Lorenzo, We are all 100% in agreement that family comes first. Thanks for the response. Yes, it would have opened up a space for someone else to join and that's apprecaited by everyone as spots are more limited than they used to be. See you soon in the sand.

Light bars are more useful for leads who need to define the route through the desert. Also you can use High Beam in offroad and additonal fog lights, they help A LOT. 6 1 Let's root for each other & watch each other grow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chaitanya D Posted June 26, 2020 Report Share Posted June 26, 2020 Thanks @Emmanuel and @Wrangeld for a exciting drive. Quite a learning how to deal with soft sand on an extremely hot day... hope to make it to iftar bowl sometime soon. We could realise how soft the sand was as soon as we entered . It was towards the end the breeze was getting more comfortable. Some pictures uploaded in gallery. 2 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
