Hi Everyone,  Very much looking forward to tomorrow's drive.  May I request that we do not use channel 3 on the radios, something in my car interferes with channel 3.   Thanks! 

[Frederic]

RSVP IS NOW CLOSED

@Zulfikhar Naiyar@Athil@boudy_eg@juoffroad@Luke K P@Stuart G@Amr J@Sheho@Abdallah Alnajjar@Jose Luis Campos@Wilfredo Perez@JohanE@Zubair@Haneef Thayyil@Tom V@Ahmed Farouk

Thank you all for signing up !

Some pointers to prepare:

1. Please arrive 15mins earlier so you have time to deflate your tires. If you need help, please do not hesitate to approach any of us. If you have HT tires (highway), you can deflate to 14psi. If you have AT tires (All Terrain) you can go a bit lower to 12psi.

2. If you have a radio, great. If not, we can lend you one for your first drive only. We will be using Channel 4: 446.081Mhz

3. Please try to get an off-road flag mounted on your car for the drive. This is for everyone's safety.

4. If this is your first drive, please watch the Newbie briefing video (you can skip the covid part)  

Hope to see you all tomorrow bright and early !
