Most importantly  The MEETING TIME : Deflated by or before 5.15 AM-  Today's temperature was better in Mid 35s even at 9.30, so am hoping we will weather God in our favour tomorrow.  WE WILL MOVE 5.20 LATEST and we aim to exit in about 3 hours time approx. 

We will start our drive with the famous Lisaili entry point with some brisk pace just before hitting the Technical patches, also encounter some vegetation as we continue to make our move towards chimney with some of the most challenging technical dunes on our way. 

Ensure all your gears are in place securely tied down with ratchet straps in the rear compartment of the vehicle. Bungy type tie downs are not suitable for tying down off-road gear. 

Looking forward to seeing you tomorrow morning !

[Brett Eicher]

Thank you for the drive today @DP1011 Great way to spend the morning!

[Andrew John Melvill]

Thanks @DP1011 for another drive that lived up to its title! Good technical terrain linked togeter by streches of "jungle". A good number to refusals and stucks as should be expected on a tech drive, some really soft sand tested the cars and drivers over and above the tight dunes. But lots of good humor and laughs along the way! 

[Deepak Eswar]

@DP1011The drive was excellent, and I enjoyed the morning. and also could learn/brush up on my technical skills. Though we faced some refusals, we managed to exit more or less on time. I look forward to joining your next technical drive, like the three-hour drive. Thank you.
