Damian Posted November 30, 2023 Report Share Posted November 30, 2023 Hey Frederic - AOR flag and suction arrived today from Amazon but are not compatible even though Amazon said they are frequently bought together. I can't get a replacement delivered in time for Saturday. Any ideas of where to get one or can I be in convoy without one? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frederic Posted December 1, 2023 Author Report Share Posted December 1, 2023 Goodmorning All ! @Alphin Aloor@AlexM@Jaro Tuzinsky@Soufiane@Damian@sohinik@Ahmed Farouk@Srikumar @Dan S Thanks for signing up for this event, and a warm Thank You for your donation to Tarahum for Gaza. Some important practicalities for tomorrow: 1. E11 (Sheikh Zayed Road) will be closed, so better to avoid by taking the E311 or even better, the E611. 2. Last petrol station before reaching the meeting point via E611 is here: https://maps.app.goo.gl/iHYq37m5MjMPi5ss6 3. Make sure to arrive with a full gas tank and 20l extra jerrycan (unless if you have a sub-tank in your car then no need). 4. The meeting point is only our meet and greet point. So don't deflate or put your flag up yet. Please park parallel to the road so we don't disturb traffic flow. 5. We will be using Carnity Channel 2: 446.031 Mhz. If you do not have a radio yet i will bring some spare radios you can use for this event. 6. We will be mostly off-road, either in the mountains, dunes, or wadis, so there will be limited to no access to any public toilets. However, we plan to camp not too far away from a road that leads us to an ADNOC so that could help to freshen up and restock our cooler. We can potentially have our lunch as well nearby an Adnoc. 7. Make sure to get plenty of rest. Driving for two full days with keeping focus on the off-roading aspect can be very tiring for yourself and passengers. However fun this event will be, the focus is on getting home back safely. 8. I will bring a small firepit so we can make a fire. Fire on the sand itself is not allowed. 8. In case of any emergency, my number is 0 5 6 5 0 4 2 6 3 2 I will make the convoy list and order later today. Wishing you all a good start of the weekend. 2 "Go as far as you can see; once you get there, you'll be able to see further." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The reason I’ve very limited space without roof racks Hi @Ahmed Farouk the Pajero has a relatively big fuel tank, so you should be fine but will definitely need to refuel in the evening once we reach the camping site. 1 "Go as far as you can see; once you get there, you'll be able to see further."

Thanks for organizing and the extra instructions re E11. We will be driving down from AD (early start!) about 2 hrs for us. We will refill at the E11 ENOC you suggested. Our LC 300 has split 80/30 petrol tank but is thirsty - saying i only get about 800km a tank on the tarmac. This of course will be worse offroad. I will bring a 20l jerry can just in case. Just so we can plan food a bit - you are saying we will be near an ADNOC for dinner in the evening and lunch on day 1 or day 2? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
