Congratulations to the following for joining this drive.

@marks @Mohamed Seidam @Ammar Naji @Watteau @Osama Al Hamwi @Baskaran P.R @Tareq Ghosheh @pramod @Joseph Sebastian @Serafino @William Fernandes

You're all confirmed for the drive this week - but not until I know that you have confirmed 'totally agree' with the new COVID restrictions requirements for the drives. 
Numbers are rising and we will be much more vigilant this week and beyond until the pandemic is under control - which it currently is not. 
So make sure that you confirm that you totally agree with the new rules. No confirmation - no drive. Hopefully that's clear enough. 
And, if you don't comply on the drive: 
1. You'll be escorted straight out of the desert
2. You'll earn yourself a ban from Carnity. 
If you have any questions on this, let me know - but I think this is pretty clear. And it applies to you, me and everyone on the drive.

I am working on the convoy numbering along with the radio frequency we will have to use this week which will also be crucial as we will have 3 of our convoys in the same location. Also we are working out different meeting points to allow enough space to all the convoys for practicing Social Distancing. I will get back to you later this afternoon with the exact details.

Thank you @Baskaran P.R, I have already checked and most of us have already used the Totally Agreed reaction.

I have noticed that @Osama Al Hamwi has commented with totally agree on the thread but not yet posted a reaction on the original post which is fine.

I am still waiting for @Tareq Ghosheh @Joseph Sebastian @Serafino @William Fernandes to go through the thread and react with the Totally Agree emoji.

Please find your names and convoy numbering above. When you arrive tomorrow morning, you can start deflating your tires to 15psi if you have normal/highway tires, and 12psi in case you have off-road tires.

Please arrive on time 7:00 AM, earlier is even better so we can help you out with deflation if needed.

The meeting point has been revised to avoid congestion and confusion, main thread has also been updated.

We will be using Carnity Channel 3: 446.05625 Mhz.

Seniors on the drive are myself, @Baskaran P.R in second lead, @marks as center forward and @Mohamed Seidam who will be sweeping the convoy and we will all help you out in case of refusals, stucks, which is all part of the game (and fun) :)

After deflating we will do a briefing to emphasize on the aspects of off-roading and the teamwork involved when becoming part of our off-road community. Since the number of cases has gone alarmingly high and as per the new restrictions we will revert back to briefing from our vehicles over the radio..

In case of emergencies, you can contact me on 050 674 9099

See you tomorrow !
