Hi @Dipu Francis, thank you for the introduction.

For the radio, you can refer to this very useful post. Please take the time to program the 10 Carnity frequencies BEFORE the drive. (It is easier to do it quietly at home rather than in the sand.

 

Looking forward to meeting you on Saturday !

Hi @Kuba Roszyk

You will need to have a flag attached to your car for the drive. It is important for your safety and the one of other drivers.

You can find suction cup mounts at Dragon Mart or Off Road garages.

Please confirm also you have front and rear tow hooks or eyelets, and indicate if you have previous offroad experience. Thank you

Dear Desert Drivers

@Yurybel @saumik1989 @Dipu Francis

Thank you for signing up for the drive tomorrow.

Please make sure your car is ready for the outdoors, and remove unnecessary items from the back seat and trunk areas.

Please take the time also to program your radio, referring to the post above if you need to.

I will indicate by the end of the day the convoy order. stay tuned !

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.
