Guys - I have some news to share and Those who will be making it to this drive, Please carry your coffee mugs , As I am will be treating the convoy with Beverages or so

As I believe in not adding further to trash, would prefer to avoid disposables! ( I will be carrying trash bags though,  in case someone wants to collect the trash we find during the drive 😂)

Black coffee guys pls react "totally Agree"

Coffee with milk and sugar "well done

Lemonade : "Thank you"

Thanks for signing up to this drive ! We still have a couple of days before the convoy closes, to please double check your availability. As you know there are a bit less petrol stations in this area so please check here below:

The nearest petrol station is the ADNOC in Nahel:

Thanks to @Looperfor volunteering to take on a second, Jeeps only convoy!! You guys will have a blast !

CONVOY 1 - FRED - SILVER PATROL - CH2 446.031 MHZ

@Jona@FERNANDO SYRIO@Mohit Gurnani@Ahmad Nerat@Jaro Tuzinsky@Beide Worku@Salim Akhtar@Mus_hus78@Zed

 

CONVOY 2 - LOOPER - YELLOW JEEP WRANGLER - CH4 446.081 MHZ

@Bjoern@Cristian@Andrei S@Naveen Raj@Ignacio Quindós@Gary F@DP1011

MEETING POINT: You can park the cars along the entry gate barrier all the way up to the red pin. Beyond the red pin is also possible but the sand is a bit soft there, so be careful.

• Please make sure to bring your off-road gears, plenty of water, and protection from the sun.
• Ensure the car is fully topped up with gas (gas stations were mentioned in the post yesterday).
• We aim to be READY-TO-GO by 06AM, so please arrive no later than 05.50AM so you have time to deflate and put the flags.

 

See you all bright and early tomorrow !

[DP1011]

@Zed Beyond the red pin is where I want to see you park and then deflate 💥😁
