Dear Fossil Rockers

State of play so far. We are a convoy of 14. @Ahab Shamaa @Magdy Zahran @syed salman raza @Luca Bregni @Sandeep Padhi @Bhaskar @Federico Galbieri @MUHAMMAD Kashif RAZZAQ @Nithin Vaidir @Sharooq Fassul @Ranjan Das @Sai Baskaran

Fossil Rock and the lead up to the rock awaits. 

Another check before you get up early tomorrow morning and so you don't risk being turned away.

IS YOUR CAR SAND READY? 

• Flag, and mount (that will not fall off every five minutes)
• Tow points front and back. We will not allow you on the drive if your car only has a tow ball at the rear - this is unsafe for desert recoveries
• Working radio programmed to the correct Carnity Channel (this will be channel 2)

IS YOUR MIND SAND READY? 

Fossil Rock can be a challenging area because it is not all wide sweeping dunes and spaces to traverse from one to the other. It can be a challenge for newbie drivers because, especially when you do not have your A game with you. If you are driving with Family and friends, remind them you will need to concentrate during the drive, pay attention to radio messages and deal with any recoveries calmly. 

WILL YOU BE READY ON TIME? 

We really try to leave on time for our drives. It's quite frustrating for other drivers if you arrive even a few minutes late and then start deflation. So ... plan to arrive early, deflate as soon as you arrive, put up your flag and we can get moving as soon as possible. After all, we are out in the desert to drive, not to wait for our convoy to get ready and preapre before leaving. 

see you soon in the sand.

You can remove the ball and replace with a proper rated D-shackle. Take the biggest you can find that fits.
