Some requests from my side:

As soon as you arrive please start deflating and keep your social distance as we still have tight COVID rules on this. We will be communicating on Channel 1: 446.00625 Mhz and will do the briefing over the radio as well.

This area is more tailored on exploring and enjoying the scenery and hence is not a "dune bashing and sidesloping" drive. 

Seniors on the drive will be @Nivin and @Melenany who will be guiding you in case of refusals or stucks. I am sure it will be a great morning !

See you guys tomorrow at 06AM !
