Dear all - Thank you for showing interest for this one ! Looking forward to seeing you all on Satday ! 

Thanks to @Frederic for this route, so I am just doing a copy paste of the track taken about 3 years ago (March 2023) ! However the only catch is our drive is Without a Recce done, hence it would also be in nature of Exploration / Rerouting, in case recent rains have blocked the routes - The picture you see in the post was clicked by Freddie !

Expecting a fantastic weather - Do carry your chairs, and Americano is on me - served live & Hot !

And great convoy as I see currently @Zahid Sharif @nithish468 @Albert_Spa + The Duo @Stumpy @Bravoecho  - Looking fwd seeing you guys, been long !! 
+ high probability of having you in @topgear (Are you planning to be on road from Friday evening onwards ? I see you doing on Friday night and be ready for Satday morning too ! ) 

+ The support @Andrew John Melvill + @J-P L ! and Wild card entry @Emmanuel🫶

It certainly has mate. You’ll have to show me how to deflate my tyres again 😜

@DP1011 I would love to join but will need to take a rain check this time. My kids wanted to try the night drive and not keen to wake up early immediately the day after. Have a great drive !

Good Evening All ! @Andrew John Melvill @J-P L @Zahid Sharif @Albert_Spa @Emanuel @Aser @nithish468 @Bravoecho @Stumpy

Please find the convoy list for tomorrow here below:

We will be using Channel 2 - 446.031 Mhz

As this is a scenic drive, we will be using a lot of farm tracks, combined with wadis and a tiny bit of tarmac. I hope you understand this won't be a dune-bashing drive, but more of an exploration drive where we just enjoy the scenic terrains and mountain views.

For that main reason, i would like you to all deflate to 18PSI and not lower, so we don't have a risk on tyre damage. ( In case needed we will go down to 15, not any further)

We will put up our flags in the morning, but once we have crossed the main road and make our way to the wadis, you can remove your flag. 

We will be exiting in Asimah, a bit north of Masafi. After finishing the drive i highly recommend you explore Masafi a bit as it has nice shops, restaurants, and a 25dhs carwash if you need one  

See you all tomorrow morning !
