hello @Chaitanya D , I am not certain if I get a slot for this or am I on the waitlist. I thought I missed this yesterday when I tried to sign up hence my message to get onto the waitlist. If you confirm I am on the drive, I will vacate the newbie afternoon drive led by Gaurav as there are more people on the waitlist over there. Many thanks.

@topgear I can see your name when I download the list of RSVP ( which you can also do from your end to check)

So please decide which drive you want to join (as you have confirmation on both)and exit the other (by clicking leave) to make space for others in waitlist.

Thanks

Dear friends,

@Desert Dweller, @Sinol, @Shaaz Sha, @Gok Krish, @Kailas, @Anish S, @Mukundan Nair, @Ali Abas Ali, @Ajiesh George Kannankara, @topgear and @Ilya Golubinsky

Thanks for signing on this fewbie drive in afternoon. We will venture into a less explored part of the desert through an area where we can have lot of fun albeit safely.

Drive details:

  • Location – on Al Ain road exactly on other side of Lisaili. We will drive through this part if desert heading towards Lahbab and then towards Margham , finally exiting somewhere there along the road connecting Margham to Al Ain Rd or further.
  • Climate – Expect it to be warm to hot as we are starting at 3pm to make the best of day light before exit. Plan to exit before dark.(sunset 5.44pm, manageable twilight for upto 30 min more) .
  • Terrain – Small to Medium Dunes,long range, minimal plantation and bushes. Nonetheless there can be areas which will be technical needing your full attention and finesse. Considering the fewbie level of the convoy we will be going at a leisurely pace with safe sloping, ridge riding and crossing at times. There are some nice and safe play areas ,some of you have already seen . 
  • Please make sure your cars are in perfect condition as we are starting when it will be warm to hot and hence possibility of engines/transmission heating up is always there .In any case keep informed and communicate on the Radio.
  • See up close – Camel farms, Falconers, Gazelles and oryx.
  • Exit - towards Margham or Al ain road depending on the response of the convoy and how much distance we cover.

See you all on friday! Remember we plan and plans do change in the desert. 😜
