Ale Vallecchi Posted November 6, 2023 Report Share Posted November 6, 2023 DRIVE PLAN The drive will be built as a "compilation" of waypoints, one chosen by each driver, which the lead will try to connect with the smoothest, most effective, and fastest route possible. You will be provided with a picture of the map of the general area that we plan to visit, and our starting point (see above). After studying it on any mapping application at your disposal (Gaia, My Trails or even Google Maps), you should submit your chosen waypoint (a special dune, a sabkha, a farm, a group of trees), that you'd like to explore. The selected waypoints will be posted on Friday, and the plan will unravel from there, connecting the dots.

Ale Vallecchi Posted November 7, 2023 Author Report Share Posted November 7, 2023 Dear @Jona, @Beide Worku, @Imteeaz, @Tareq Al Turq, @Ranjan Das and @Salim Akhtar, welcome to the drive. As announced on the post, please start looking at the area we'll visit, from Nahil across Nagra and beyond, to select the waypoint of your choice. You may refer to the screenshot of Google Maps that I have posted, searching within the area that I have highlighted in red. Begin exploring from the planned meeting point and study the area through any mapping application you are used to utilizing; I personally use My Trails, but most I am aware work with Gaia. Once you have found a point of interest that you wish to reach, please take the waypoint, and post it in this thread. I'll collect the chosen marks by Friday morning, so I may look at them together, and devise a suitable drive's plan. We'll share together, before setting off for the drive, my reasoning for the route that we'll plan to take. Thanks a lot, and keep me posted. 2 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Second waypoint added, at the back of Nagra, separated from the first by a nice "valley" with trees, and a set of tall dunes. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ale Vallecchi Posted November 8, 2023 Author Report Share Posted November 8, 2023 Hi Dear @Jona, @Beide Worku, @Tareq Al Turq, @Salim Akhtar allow me to leave here a couple of tips on the selection of your waypoints. Try to spread them around,.as at this point Nagra dune is well covered. Look for other dune formations, group of trees, technical areas, or anything else that tickles your imagination. i will add a waypoint of my own by this Friday, which is the deadline to choose the waypoints. Enjoy!! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
