RSVP is now closed and expect there could be few dropouts so maybe the convoy gets slightly smaller, if not well done you!

@Stumpy Paj, @Frans M, @george charbel, @Issam Atra, @H3 Joe, @Gurcharan Mehta, @Shahid Mehmood, @Lala G, @W a q a r, @Rk ram, @Emanuel, @Ishak, @Mahmoud Taha, @Bjoern, @Pacific

It's an experiment and thanks for joining as experimental subjects. Few would have driven much in this area because it's very technical. Be VERY SURE of what you are getting into and bail out before it's too late because IT WILL be a Technical Overdose. If everything goes well, then you might find it meditative with long tranches of silence on the radio else; lots of digging and tugging.

We will toil on Ch 2, and this is the convoy order.

Let's hope for the best for the next year on this last drive of the year. Wishing you all a very happy new year.

Greetings of the Season and Wishing all a very Prosperous and Serene New Year.

I may not be able to join this drive, family and friends have plans for going to RAK and authorities have imposed a last entry to RAK at 1400hr which will make it quite difficult to manage both for me.

Since the RSVP is already closed, I am not removing myself in the hopes that in case of my plan changes I may be able to join at the start time. 

@Looper Hope doing this is acceptable. Have fun guys and enjoy. 

[Bjoern]

HI guys, unfortunately I need to drop out. Some emergency I need to attend right in time for New Year   But let me use the opportunity to wish all of you an amazing start into 2024 and a great new year! 

All the best

What an amazing way to end out 2023. Thanks for the help with the pop out and a little digging on the crest. Otherwise a very challenging tech drive that required our laser like focus and attention. All the very best to my friends here for an awesome 2024 ahead.

@Looper true to your word this drive was as described. Challenging techniccal dunes with plenty of ridges and criss crosses to get more expeience with. See you in the sand in 2024.

Awesome drive @Looper . It was throughout a technical drive and kept me focused on what's ahead. Really enjoyed every bit of the drive today. Thanks @Pacific for your support especially with the refusal at the end. Looking forward to more drives like this next year. Happy new year, everyone!
