[Frederic]

DRIVE RSVP IS NOW CLOSED

 

@Christian Andras will be my second lead tomorrow, slightly altering the tracks upon my instructions, and communicating to the rest of the convoy to inform them of any bumps, tricky parts, bowls. 

@Mels Wolf will be our center forward, keeping the convoy together, and being the first at the scene to initiate recoveries and help out over the radio.

@Jeepie will be our sweep, keeping the convoy moving and help out with recoveries where needed.

The drive plan is to start off at the 2nd december cafeteria and take a left towards direction Faya. This track takes us through strange terrain with lots of trees and black sand. This area is not the most difficult terrain but will be PERFECT for taking some scenic shots. 

Once we pass this terrain, we will take the roundabout the cross the road and head towards Faya. The plan is to approach Faya from a less used side, and enjoy the bowls that are surrounding Faya, also known as "The Saddle".

Please make sure to bring all your gear as per Fewbie level, and set your radio to Channel 2 (446.03125Mhz).

Looking really forward to this one !

See you !

I have just had a roster change and have to work tomorrow. Really sad to bow out as I was looking forward to this drive very much.

Since COVID we are having a lot of last minute changes. Sorry to cause any issue; I hope whoever takes my places enjoys the drive.
