Wow🥳. I am in for my first night drive. 

Luke, I don’t have special lights on my Raptor. I will take with me charged flash light and headlamp. If anything more is needed let me know.

Looking forward to this drive.

Hi, thanks for prompting this update @_Piotr_

You dont need any offroad lights for this drive.. just your normal lights will be fine.. high beam is even better.
Please bring a head torch or a light so that you can inflate easily afterwards,.. there may or may not be ambient lighting, but a torch or something will help.

Most importantly! Bring a chair to sit around on and chat while we make a cup of coffee before the drive home!

I will make some espresso in a moka pot... but you should BYO tea or coffee if you can

nice one.. will bring some Turkish coffee/snacks
