@rohit kumar, this is a FB+ drive, i see you are still a FB. You can join FB drive on Saturday. Don't worry about the long waitlist. it only means it will most likely be going to be a split convoy.

Unfortunately I have to drop off too. There is still too much work to catch-up on after the holidays. See you next time on the sand and hope it is a fun and exciting drive. @Looper

Good evening Gents!

On this Sunday morning Drive we will try to climb the tallest dunes that Faqa'a has to offer followed by some sweeping long range dunes towards Qudra. After we cross the Sabkha and into the "Little Sweihan" we will have some challenging and technical terrain to test our skills. We will exit at Solar Park about 11 am or may be slightly earlier.

We will rock on Ch 2 and following is our convoy order.
