Thank you @Chris Redmond! Appreciate it!

Hi Everyone! @Vanessa8580@nithish468@Chris Redmond@Rasna@Pramod Sathyaseelan@Ishak@Sheho@CY Bong@Thomas54675

I'm happy to report i will be able to lead the drive tomorrow! After taking it easy the last two days, it seems the strained muscle settled down :) 

Please find the convoy list for tomorrow attached here. We will be using Channel 10: 446.231Mhz on our walkie talkies. If this is your first drive with us don't worry, we can help to set the frequency in your radio, and also have some spare radios with us just in case.

Please try to arrive 10-15mins earlier if possible so you can deflate to 15psi and install your offroad flag. If you need help just reach out to any of us. Welcome to the club @Chris Redmond i am sure you'll like your first Northern adventure :) 

See you all in the morning!

What an AMAZING video Chris! I’m so glad to see you’ve loved the experience and camaraderie, which is what keeps us all coming back every weekend. Never thought classic hiphop would work on this kind of desert experience video but somehow it fits perfectly! 👏👏😄
