Dear @Ali Abbas 

How have you been ? It has been been a very long time .almost more than a year and a half or more since you drove with carnity regardless of the level and as a matter or Intermediate level And as from your profile you did the only one IM drive in April 2021. 
for your own safety I highly recommend you not to join such level and instead join a lower in difficulty level like Newbie or maximum fewbie level couple of times till you become synchronised back with your vehicle to the sand driving . 
There is no place I am afraid to take any high risk please . Please I am afraid to ask you to remove your self from this drive . I hope you can understand. Thank you 🙏

Dear Friends

@Imteeaz @Daniel Rodas @Gerrit Bus and @Beide Worku 

Thanks for your Interest and RSVPing the drive. Since I started leading all my drives had never ended without driving for a while in technical terrain as I always believe that mastering this path along what  it brings with it will make us a better off roaders . However in this drive it will be devoted let’s say 80 % of it driving along the tightest routes what Alqudra desert has to offer leaving the remaining for the way back to exit . 

The radio channel and convoy order will be announced on site at meeting point . 

please be on time in order to finish on time at sunset expected . 
 

see you tomorrow inshallah
