Thanks to the good support on this drive, i was able to stretch it a little bit so you are in the RSVP list, but we still have around 3 people in the waitlist. Please doublecheck your calendars for the ones who are signed up to make sure you can make it.

Thanks !

@Frederic, I'm exhausted after this week, so I'm going to take the weekend to relax and recover.

See you on a drive soon!

Good morning All !

Please find your convoy positions attached for tomorrow. 

We will be using Channel 4 - 446.081Mhz

Please arrive a bit before 7 so you have time to deflate and set up your flag. We should be briefed and on the move by 7:15.

As it's a sizeable convoy, the plan will be a mixture of smooth rolling dunes and some technical areas. Surely it will be fun  

See you tomorrow !
