Dear Sand Sailors

Thanks all for RSVPing for the drive. We have an nice diverse convoy with a good mix of experience and ships, well aligned to the plan for the drive. 

Plan for the drive

Meeting point : we plan to meet at   https://maps.app.goo.gl/PTPqopKS2CPzhxZD7 and start the drive with first ray of sunlight, so make sure to reach at meeting point no later than 5am. 

The area is full of some crazy bowls and slopes, perfect terrain for us to explore every element of offroading - steep climbs to criss crossing, ridge riding and all.... There are dunes all over the place with exit points as well all around.

Plan is that there is no plan - we'll enter the dunes and just have fun, jumping from one play area to another, one bowl to another and will try to reach the exit at around 9am. 

So make sure you have your running gear set  as with dunes so awesome, i feel the need, the Need For Speed..🙂 yeah ignore it, i just saw Topgun  yesterday so it's going to stay for sometime...😂😂

We will be joined by the Sultan of Sweihan @Srikumar with all his energy and ofcoure the most beautiful Jeep we have in Carnity. Thanks Sri 🖖

Looking forward.to see you all this sunday. In case of any change in your plan, please update the RSVP and inform well in advance. 

Cheers 

 @Ashok chaturvedi @Mus_hus78

 @Indra Ozola @Imran Kashif

 @Shahid Mehmood@takeshi sobue @Pascal @Zed @Ashutosh Garg

My apologies, recovering from some fever. Was hoping to be fully fit by today but I think I will take another couple of days of rest.

Sad to miss the drive!

Hi @varunmehndiratta thanks for arranging the convoy; the LC is still in garage tho, so i'll be with the Y62 Patrol, need to test its new high-clearance bumpers & skid plates anyways 😂  No worries if u need to re-arrange, i can be center or sweeper with the big car 😅
