Hi @Ale Vallecchi drive 1 works best for me. But I am flexible to do either. Thanks

Dear confirmed members @Luke K P, @Jessica Lambert, @Giacomo, @Mike M., @J-P L, @Sherry Jacob, @Abhishek Chikara, @Ashutosh Garg, @Frans M.

and Waitlisted members @Deepak Eswar, @Hani crest king, @Michael asir, @Mark B, @Misha Puskar and @zak.

Considering the more limited number of drivers than on.Tuesday (including 2 strong Support Team members) I have decided to carry out just 1 Recce drive, from Al Ajban West extended to Al Ajban East. 

So, no more 2 separate drives, but only 1, with a bit of a longer convoy, but still manageable. 

I would only adjust the departure to 8AM, so we'll have more time to complete this longer exploration, planning to exit around 12:30.

I will get back to you tomorrow with the final briefing and convoy order.  

Thanks to all for the patience and availability.

As mentioned above I would like to propose an idea for an extended drive, as below:

Drive 1 - starting at 7:00 AM, to recce the Al Ajban area west of the big farm, ending at 10:00AM.

followed by

Drive 2 - starting at 10:30 AM, to recce the Al Ajban area east of the big farm, ending at 1:30 PM.

See below the map's screenshot of each area: Al Ajban West in Red and Al Ajban East in Blue.  

I will not confirm the above until I receive inputs from each of you, whether you can join Drive 1 or Drive 2, based on the starting time.

That includes the Support Team members, who I plan to add to the Manage tab (at least 1 per drive) once  they confirm their availability. 

Clearly, this is an effort to include everyone in the drive. If things start getting too complicated, I will stick to the original plan, with all presently confirmed members,  and waitlisted ones being able to access the drive oy if someone drops off.

Please let me know, each of you, on this thread, if this may work out, and which drive you may prefer to enter.

Looking forward to hearing your comments. Thanks

I apologise for missing this notification!
