Hi @W a q a r we might need to cancel the drive but I will update you this evening maximum by tomorrow morning 

[Gurcharan Mehta]

will wait to hear from you on the confirmation of the drive or cancellation. Thanks

@Simon D as per NCM. Friday heavy rain. So the terrains would be wet. That's mean drive cancelled. If no rain... Then will. 

[Batuhan Kulac]

@Simon D Maybe we could just move the drive to Sunday? Unless the post-rain surface is still not viable.🤷‍♂️

Dear Friends 

@Batuhan Kulac, @Faraz94, @Sreenath G, @Haneef Thayyil, @Robk , @Senthil Kumar, @W a q a r, @Mahesh_, @Hugo, @Gurcharan Mehta

As much as i want this drive to happen , but i need take safety Measures & precautions , after further discussing this matters and looking into the weather forecast it shows that badayer will be in one of the storm peaks and the fast wind also is a danger factor as it will be nearly hard to control our vehicles n top of the dunes ,  not to mention the flying debris that might hit us with high velocity. 

for everyone's safety and well being i have decided to call this drive off .

thank you for understanding.

Kindly acknowledge the cancellation
