Hey @Luca Palanca Falsini just a thought/suggestion - yesterday it got too hot by 930am, unless some specific reason any possibility to start it early and end by 930ish? It's intermediate so even if we start in a bit dark believe would be okay with most .

Moving Sep, most drives will start from 6 AM - 10 AM, means by 9:30 we can exit and inflate.

This is general guideline for all trip leads from Srikumar, however individual timing can be considered (if needed).

We love to confuse everyone, incl. ourselves sometime, lol.

Sat IM switched to Fri after sending the notification due to some internal shuffling of leads and drives at short notice.

Oh goodness...didn't see that coming...just couple of hours back thanks to  @Lorenzo Candelpergher got added to Sweihan drive (despite it being full).... this is a tough choice Sweihan with Lorenzo vs small convoy with Luca and no poking the nose.....wow i can't make this choice .. @Luca Palanca Falsini we go to Sweihan the following week? 😂😂 These are insanely coolest options @Carnitycould offer ..

Hi to everyone, 

updated the entrypoint for our drive 

https://goo.gl/maps/3vAWT4rZNY9X5er98

location was changed to be compliant with Carnity's recommendations.

It will be a really long and challenging drive (base track 65Km!).

Can't wait to see you on the sand
