Hi Jerome,

This is my first drive with the group however I have 5-6 years of off-roading experience with different groups in different areas of UAE. 
 

I do confirm that I have all the required equipment as mentioned above. 
 

I have watched the induction video and I will programme my radio as per the instructions. 
 

Looking forward to driving with you! 
 

Thank you!

Dear Desert Drivers

@Ana @Nicholas Hubbard @Piotr1 @DG707 @Sameer D. @Mark B @Taka @CY Bong @Hansmtb @Gaurav Narsinghani

Before the drive tomorrow, 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 to the 10 Carnity Frequences if not done already. You can find guidance here if needed.

I will indicate by the end of the day the final list and convoy order. Stay tuned and let me know before that in case you changed your plans.

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.
