Hi I agree for the above topic. I will be there with my Pajero White 5 doors and this is my first offroad drive and don't have any experience in offroad driving. 

[Frederic]

Welcome to the club @Haarun Baig ! 

Please try to bring a deflator and a pressure gauge, as you will need to deflate your tyres at the arrival point. Other items like a flag, radio, compressor, and shovel will be needed from a second drive onwards. But if you have them already please do bring them.

[Frederic]

Dear @Shyam Karat @Piotr Kolodziej @Krishnakumar @Alexander Alcala @Abdallah Rachidi Alaoui

First of all, i wish you a warm welcome to our Offroad Club. I am always delighted to be able to meet new members and hope we can learn from each other. 

Please send us a small introduction on who you are, which 4x4 you're bringing, and if the front and rear towpoints are available and in perfect condition. Please let us know if you have any prior offroading experience or not.

 

@Haarun Baig thanks for your introduction !

@Baskaran P.R as per my information you have joined last week's absolute newbie drive already. That makes you a Newbie from now on and you can try to get a seat in one of the Newbie level drives this weekend. The Absolute Newbie drive is only to be done once, so i will need to remove your RSVP from this drive.
 

With regards to gear and equipment, on an Absolute Newbie drive you should bring your own tyre deflator and pressure gauge. We can help you with deflating if you have not done this before. 

If you have a flag, radio, shovel, and compressor, please do bring it also. It will be a requirement from the second drive onwards.

We've made a nice tutorial with lots of information on essential offroad gear (for every drive level):

 

Please also take your time to go through the Absolute Newbie Briefing video we made:
