Thank you for signing up for tomorrow's drive, it's great to see new faces and reconnect with some older ones  

Some important pointers:

1) We would like to start our briefing in the sand by 7.15 latest, so kindly arrive before 7 so you have time to deflate and setup your flag. The weather is getting hotter each week so it's important to be able to start as early as we can.

2) Bring your offroad gears. A flag, radio, shovel, pressure gauge, and compressor will be mandatory. 

3) Get adequate protection from the sun (sunblock, hat, long sleeves).

We will be using Channel 4 - 446.081Mhz for our walkie-talkies.

The plan is to head East direction Sweihan and try to find some clean terrain and some challenges along the way. We will then loop back to the starting point.

See you all tomorrow morning !
