Assuming the meeting point is same (24.4020000, 55.3789720) as the previous one i did with Carnity. As we can only start driving at 5am 😅 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But please note that I will not be allowing late comers to join the drive, simply because we have a very limited drive time before it gets blazing hot.
