Hi Angela, will miss out this drive too; seems the garage needs more time to fix my Jeep.

Looking forward to being back on the sands again; wish you and the @Carnity community a Mary Christmas and a Happy New Year!

Good afternoon Winter Break adventurers.

Tomorrow's drive will see us gather along a track, just outside the village of Margham, where we can deflate and prepare ourselves and our cars for the morning's adventure. Margham offers some nice and sometimes tricky dunes , the intention is to play around here before we then head to Lisalli where we shall traverse some technical areas and also play amongst the long sloping dunes.

We should cover around 40km, and there should be plenty of opportunity to practice some ridge riding and criss- crossing if the sands and of course the convoy allows.

Here is my proposed convoy order:

 

Angela @Foxtrot Oscar	Black Xterra	Lead
@Ahab Shamaa	White FJC	2nd Lead
@Jose Martin	SWB Pajero	No.3
@RaYan E	Pajero LWB	No.4
@Craig Finlayson	Grey Wrangler	CF
@bassel el rafei	Landcruiser	No.6
@Malachy McGrogan	F150	No.7
@Gaurav Soni	Pajeto LWB	No. 8
@topgear	White FJC	No.9
@Brette	Black Cherokee	Sweep

We will be using radio channel 1 (one)

See you all tomorrow , arrive before 8:30am and @Craig Finlayson will deflate your tyres whilst @Ahab Shamaa serves breakfast rolls and cappuccinos.
