Dear Desert Drivers

Before the drive on Saturday, 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 tomorrow 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.

Please have a look before Saturday morning, as GPS gives sometimes strange indications these days...

Great drive today ! Thank you for joining me. This area of Nahel is never disappointing. Great views, nice variety of dunes, not too many bushes, and usually empty.

We made the most of it, starting softly in the first dunes. I got stuck, pointing down against a bush, and the whole team joined supporting the shoveling 🙏. Luckily it was still early in the morning. Then progressively we went into higher dunes, took the time to circle a large bowl. Then we had a more tricky portion, as a long climb with pockets and soft sand. You have been amazing coming through with only a few minor refusals.

Congratulations to @edward-392, @Rajath Shetty, @Raptor Runner - Praveen, your driving was excellent ! Thank you @Danie for the second lead, you had great anticipation of my moves, and @Mahesh_ and @Jose Luis Campos, supporting the convoy, and guiding out the refusals when required.

Have a great weekend !

It was a very enjoyable drive this morning. Thanks, @JeromeFJ, for organizing it. It was great meeting some new faces and sharing the drive with them, while also catching up with our old friends.

Thanks as well to @Jose Luis Camposfor your support. The recovery session was a valuable learning experience.

I managed to capture a few photos during the break and have added them here.

Looking forward to seeing everyone again in the sand soon. Wishing you all a wonderful weekend!
