Hi @Islam Soliman, I had issue with my vehicle in the last week's drive, hence I took it to the garage and replaced few things that were suspected cause of the issue. received my vehicles yesterday but I feel the same issue still exist and needs my car to go back to the garage. Unfortunately, I won't be able to join you in this drive.

See you soon!

Dear @Ranjan Das @Dodi Syahdar @Watteau.. an exciting opportunity to visit this area with a short convoy which it's always a booster for what can be done around these magnificent terrains.

 

Pre-drive details below:

1- It is already hot and we want to have an early start hoping to cover majority of the track by 9:00am before heading to the exit to inflate by 9:30am before we get roasted.

2- This requires prompt presence at the meeting point by 5:00am and be ready to move max by 5:30am (deflated, flag erected, 4H on, radio on and set, airbags/traction/abs all set....) 

3- Please ensure your radio is on, fully charged, and set to the right frequency: channel 1 (446,006.25) upon arrival to do a quick radio check

4- briefing will be done on on the sand before we start moving

5- please ensure you come with a full tank (as much as possible) in addition to all necessary gear for this drive level

See you all on the sand 😎

 

Convoy order:

We will decide together during the briefing

What an absolute pleasure Gentlemen, loved every minute of it, not one shovel or tug and climb after climb after climb, the route was perfect, lots of play time and some good challenges, and what a masterclass in slip face self recovery, that was epic. Thanks for a wonderful morning guys, used more fuel today than on any other drive, see you all soon.

What a drive...absolutely fantastic! Many firsts for me - shortest convoy i have ever driven in, making a pit stop on my way home - I consumed almost 3/4th of the tank, a proper coffee break and the wonderful climbs. Thanks @Islam Soliman and @Dodi Syahdar for fixing my bumper - its so well done that I might let it be until I figure out a proper solution. 

Thank you Islam for the drive, looking forward to second iteration. Thanks Dodi and Alex @Watteau for the company. See you guys soon.
