@Steve Farmer, @Jose Luis Campos, @Yurybel, please take the time to watch the video attached on top of this chat, if you have not done it yet, it is very useful information for driving in the sand.

Please take the time also to program your radio with the 10 Carnity frequencies. The post below contains guidelines and useful information related to radio communications.

 

Of course, this is valid for other participants to the drive, if you have not yet done so.

@Luke K P @Jose Luis Campos @Steve Farmer @Yurybel @Mark B @Abhishek Chikara @Arvindraj @Gilberto @Jeevan Koshy @JohanE @ChrisW

Thank you for signing-up for the drive tomorrow. 

Please check your route to reach the meeting point. Coming from Nahel on the E95, about 300m before the final location, you will see a road to your right, with a sign "...Winter Camp..." Take that road. It is closed by a fence. Reach slowly to the fence, it will open by itself. Then continue until you see the other cars.

If there is fog on the route,  take your time and drive safely, we will wait for you. Don't forget to use your wipers frequently to clear your view.

I will indicate the convoy order and the radio channel by the end of the afternoon, stay tuned !

@ChrisW Man! 1st congratulations with new car! and second! Color Earl Grey - the name of color is... it's just amazing!))

[ChrisW]

Thank you, @Zubail! Sad to let go of the classic (old!) Jeep JK, but really looking forward to seeing what this can do. And I love the colour! Might be an American car but the colour name feels fittingly British… 😂

Hello.. I had a silly question to ask. It's ok to bring friends on the drive correct? Some office colleagues who'd be riding with my in my car. Thank you.

@Abhishek Chikara not at all a silly question. Yes it is ok to bring passengers, but be sure they understand the concept. Even if we will do a few breaks, they have to be ready to sit in the car for 4 to 6 hours, including the time to reach meeting point. Be sure also they don't distract you during the drive, you will have to keep your own focus.

Also to be clear, you cannot swap the driver, only you will drive your car during the drive.

Once these things are clear for all, no issue to bring passengers.
