dear @DP1011 - i'm TERRIBLY SORRY, i completely mixed up the dates... i thought the drive is on Saturday, and not tomorrow.

I will not be able to join tomorrow, as i'm tied up with work/meetings right from morning.

wish you a great drive, and sorry again for the late cancellation.

What a great drive @DP1011. I was thinking it’s just another FB drive in Qudra and man I was wrong. The time you took and the way u designed this drive was a boot camp for all members who attended from refining their driving skills to hands-on application of recovery methods, with guidance. 
Great driving from everyone in the convoy and I hope you guys realize how lucky you are by getting this kind of focused and reinforced guidance to enable your off-roading growth!

See you all on the sands soon.
