Dear Desert Drivers

Thank you for joining  up for the Newbie Drive next Saturday in Nahel. This area offers a great variety of terrain in reasonably clean sand, with a beautiful desert environment.

As you can see, we have a long wait list and unfortunately, I will not be able to accept every one. Having a very long convoy generally means more cars stucked, more stopping time for everyone, and at the end less enjoyment. I will confirm the final attendance list on Friday, so let me know before that in case you changed your plan, or remove directly your RSVP  on the event. Thank you.

In the meantime, you can also refresh your knowledge with the video in this most, and ensure that your radio is programmed in advance with the 10 Carnity frequencies. You can refer to the post below if needed.

In an attempt to accommodate more Newbie drivers, I have added from the wait list the 3 NB drivers who have registered for 1 drive only. this weekend. That's a total of 16 cars for the convoy.

@Amal Sunil @Kushal Thakkar @lucasmatt please confirm you are still available and interested in the drive.

For drivers already confirmed in attendance list, no action needed, but PLEASE let me know or remove your self if you changed your plans.

For drivers remaining on the wait list, stay tuned, in case there is a drop out before Friday afternoon, but I will not extend to more cars. Thank you for your understanding.

[LucasMatt]

Dear Desert Drivers

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 final list and 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 "...Holiday 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.
