Hi Ale 

Looks like Aviation is picking up a bit because I got called for work tomorrow unfortunately and only coming back Friday night 

So sorry I had to cancel again 

My apologies for it but I hope someone can take my spot 

Have fun everyone!

Dear Carnity explorers.

Let's get in the "Middle-Earth" frame of mind by giving out the convoy order.

@Tbone will start as my Second Lead

@Islam Soliman will occupy his (by now) usual place #3

@Rajeevan Vickneswaran will follow at #4

@Nabil Bishara is going to take position #5

@Heisem will drive in #6

@Janarthan will anchor the convoy at Center Forward

@Ilya Golubinsky will follow him at #8

@Biju Abdul will line up at #9

@Jeandre Bezuidenhout with jersey #10

@Gregory Perkin will be starting at #11

@marks will be responsible for closing the convoy's lineup.

As mentioned in the drive's preview, we will be facing a variety of terrains. After an initial approach from a sand track, we will enter in this little visited area between South Qudra/Solar Park and Faqa. This area contains sabkhas, technical dunes, as well as longer range, but taller and sometimes tight dunes, which form canyons and bowls, that will test the Fewbie Plus skills. We will be driving mostly to the East: the good thing is that reading the dunes will be easier, as the sun's reflection, that "whites out" depths and perspective, will be mostly at our back, but, at times, the sun may be kissing our faces 😅. Eventually, we'll double back toward the West, until we'll find the exit track toward Solar Park, where our drive will end.

Upon reaching the meeting and deflation point, please tune into Carnity Channel 2 (446.031).

Please keep in mind that the meeting point is along the dirt road, just past the Solar Innovation Center (the "crystal pyramid"), going further in toward the West.

Enjoy the end of the week, and see you tomorrow.
