Hi….Good Day to all.

I drive 2018 Renault Koleos which is having front tow hook and rear tow hitch, I hope that’s ok.

Yeah vehicle is having 8+inch ground clearance.

Prior Experience : Been to Maleiha, Margam and few more places for camping but didn’t had much experience of driving on dunes.

Also want to confirm @Brette, have you taken Koleos earlier for the same.

Hi Manoj, we restrict to maximum 12 number of cars for safety reasons. You can request your friend to add his name here as waitlist, so if someone drops out he will be added immediately. We usually have few drop offs on Thursday. If not he can always sign up on Sunday for the next Friday Absolute Newbie drive.

@Rajat Vermayes we have had people with a Koleos join the absolute newbie drive before. The vehicle definitely has its limitations and as the driver you would need to be a little extra careful and understand its limitations. 

We will run through that at the meeting point tomorrow before we start the drive.
