We might pick out a nice high dune and put out chairs out

@Krishna R @Frederic I just logged on to ask are we hoping to end the drive in style with the meteor shower.

Good morning guys !

@Sunil Mathew@Andrei S@Gary F@Zulfikhar Naiyar@Krishna R@Benjamin@Gok Krish@ASAD.@Waqas Parvez@Zed

With the meteors flying over our heads, i hope we can get a well-paced drive with lots of tight spots and challenges. This terrain is a mix of technical dunes with mid-sized ones and not often visited by other off-roaders. 

As always, teamwork will be essential and communication will be key while driving in the dark. 

We will be using Channel 2 - 446.031 Mhz

See you guys tonight !

Hi Fred, just returned from a long oman trip and seems like the fatigue is showing up. Haven't been feeling well since morning so will be opting out of this drive to take some rest. Hope you guys have a safe and enjoyable drive.

Hi Fred, 

I’m very looking forward to the drive. Just a piece of advice please, given it’s my first fb+ is it ok to take passengers?

thanks
