Dear Gaurav,

I do have a question in that in the last couple of days we all have probably experienced a late start to the day on account of dense fog descent on many part of the roads. Should that be the case tomorrow what would you advice we do. Whilst I am geared up for tomorrow, I just want to be sure I understand  the plan should such an eventuality occur.  Put it this way I set a good part of the day for the drive so waiting for the fog, should there be one,  to clear up is not a problem at all. 

regards

Hi William, that's why we are having a late start at 7 AM instead of 6 AM and late finish at 11 AM.

We are too monitoring the fog pattern and forecast closely and hoping for a clear sunrise tomorrow morning.

In case of moderate visibility we will still start the drive on time, unlike last time with Absolute Newbie but now this a Newbie drive and every driver has experienced the sand driving before.

Unless if it's a dense fog, we will be then on stand by and waiting for it to clear.

So everyone please be on time and drive safe in case of foggy morning.

Good morning everyone, no fog, so far.

Please be on time.

Evening all! 

I put together a 1 minute video of the trip yesterday morning!

I had a blast and whilst it wasn't fast it was nice and technical and defiantly figured out how to tackle soft sand and quick and steep ups and downs! 

Great meeting you all and catch you next week! 

Imran with the white FJ
