@Frederic Hi, I noticed that the waitlist for your drive is piling up. Let me know if you are planning to increase the size of the convoy. If not, I'd be happy switching to Ale's drive to make more room.  At your service.

Don't worry... towards the end of the week we can expect some drop-outs.... 😆

Good morning guys !

I am really excited to see a convoy like this, with lots of known faces and friends i've driven with before. Even though there is less clean bushless desert to find these days, we will try to find some clean areas and make our way through the desert by using the farm tracks which are free of vegetation. Once we reach the Al Hatmah area (little East of Qudra), we will try to find some play areas to keep us and the 4x4's awake

We will be using Channel 8: 446.181Mhz

See you all soon !

@Frederic thanks for leading us on another great drive! Some of the sand tracks through the new grassland of Dubai were quite reminiscent of the sand tracks in northern Botswana! But some fun play areas did emerge from the jungle as promised! @Simon D and @Jeandre Bezuidenhout was good to meet you and have some chats.

To everyone on the convoy thanks for a great evening in the sand, see you all soon!

@Andrew John Melvill see you in the sand soon.
