Thank you all for joining the drive. It is very hot these days, so make sure that your vehicle is in tip top condition. We will be doing some very steep climbs from the start itself.

We will start the drive immediately after we deflated and ready to go ~ 3:10 so please be ready by then. The briefing will be done from the comfort of the car. As mentioned, the drive should finish by 6:00 pm - I will end the drive near the shops so that they can inflate for us. we should be out by 6:30 pm.

I guess instead of 3:30 he will start at 3:00 and finish by 6:00 instead of 6:30

Sorry about it we start at 3:30 - it will be the move out time

Anyone reached yet?

Just checking to confirm if I am at the right location as Google maps does not really like me a lot.

I do see a steep climb at the starting point though😁
