Level:  Fewbie and above (All Level)

Meeting time: 4:00 PM (SHARP - Without any exceptions)

Meeting Point: https://maps.app.goo.gl/wdLJTicJELjrp31cA

Action Plan: We will enter Lisaili's plateau from the area closest to Solar Park, and will drive well away from its northern limit (the one closest to the pylons), looking for a mix of long range dunes and technical areas, that will slowly but steadily take us toward Margham first, then slightly more to the south, toward Murquab's taller dunes, and all the way out near the town's mosque, next to the E66. A new route which will entail at least half of it being more an exploration than a proven track.

What to bring along: Loads of water, snacks (for yourself), smiles, face mask, rubber gloves, enthusiasm and willingness to learn.

Dear Desertnauts.

As you may have experienced, Lisaili offers a diversity of terrains, with a variety of difficulties. The northern border of the plateau, closest to the pylons' track, can easily go from easy to drive, with long range dunes, to challenging, with tight and low technical dunes. Once well on top of the plateau, in the direction of Lisaili proper, the track usually follows the length of the pylons, until it reaches the camel-drome, and forces an exit on the pylon track itself.

We plan to escape Lisaili's treacherous northern border, by entering close to Solar Park (next to the "Three Trees"), driving deep into the plateau, keeping  a bit further away from the northern border, and once closer to Lisaili, we'll turn east, to cross a patch of more technical dunes, until we'll reach (Inshallah) the tall and open dunes of Murqab, which we'll cross and drive around to end our itinerary. All kinds of skills will be required, including great control, to move fast across the chosen terrains, and manage our escapade.

Given the ability and experience of the convoy's drivers, I've expanded the convoy to include the waitlisted members.

Therefore, we'll drive as follows:

@Chinthaka Ruwan in Second Lead

@Lakshmi Narasimhan at #3

@Anoop Nair at #4

@Darren Brooke will be #5

@Zixuan Huang - Charlie at #6

@JeromeFJ is #7

@PaoloMaraziti at #8

@Ranjan Das will be #9, and 

@Zed will Sweep at #10

By the way, @Zed and @Chinthaka Ruwan please confirm it's OK for you to join the drive.

We'll all meet just off of the tarmac road from Qudra to Solar Park, and will select the radio channel once at the meeting point.
