Thank you all for joining in!

Some pointers for this evening:

1. At the starting point you can drive just a little bit further onto the gatch track and line up on the right side behind each other to deflate your tires. 

2. We will be using Channel 10: 446.231Mhz

3. Please try to arrive by 16.45PM so you have some time to deflate your tires and set up your flag.

The aim is to arrive at one of the Al Qudra lakes by 7pm or little bit earlier, so please bring a chair so we can have a sitdown all together. Bring your camera along as well!

The exit point from that lake is very easy. We will be only around 200m from the road, so you can exit anytime you like.

 

See you all soon!
