Anyhow it will be good to see you on Friday Hi @Chris Meir the manage tab is only being used by the drive lead to add Advance and above members which will be responsible mainly for recoveries, CF, etc.. But i do really appreciate your gesture and willingness to help and will definitely assign you in a more responsible position being a Fewbie. See you Friday morning !

Frederic Posted April 29, 2021 Author Report Share Posted April 29, 2021 RSVP IS NOW CLOSED Please find your convoy positions above. We will be using CHANNEL 2: 446.03125 Mhz The Faqa terrain is beautiful, but can be very challenging at the same time. We will be crossing through some very complicated technical terrain, so adequate distance inbetween the cars will be necessary. Seniors on the drive are @Shaaz Shaand @Kailas who will be helping you out in case we have stucks and refusals, which i hope we will have a few and practice self recovery skills Please arrive before 6AM so you have ample time to put up your flag and deflate. Mandatory tools will be your pressure gauge, programmed radio, shovel, and a flag. Be aware that you will not be accepted on the drive without these items. Keep your distance during deflation, and abide by the COVID rules we have outlined in the topic. Let's keep it safe for everyone please. I am looking forward to this drive as this is my favorite area and i am sure we'll have lots of fun ! See you tomorrow morning ! 4 1 "Go as far as you can see; once you get there, you'll be able to see further." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Claudio C Posted April 29, 2021 Report Share Posted April 29, 2021 hello Frederic, my phone stopped working right now, I've tried to recover it for couple of hours but nothing, it is absolutely dead.
