Enjoy the evening, have a good rest, and see you tomorrow morning!

Dear Desrtnauts belated briefing for tomorrow's weekend drive, due to last minute preparations for my first trip of the fall. Luckily, as mentioned, the drive plan is straightforward: proceeding in a line from Lisaili (see meeting and deflation point) to Solar Tower, through almost entirely technical fields of dunes (interrupted by a couple of small sabkhas). The "way to the Chimney", as the Solar Tower was called during its constructions. Not too complicated in terms of navigation, with the landmark always clearly in sight. Get ready to ride lots of ridges, with the intent to follow their lines, and avoid as much as possible going up and down into small but treacherous bowls of soft sand. If all goes well, once reached the Solar Tower we can try to exit through Lisaili's field of long-range dunes, to reach the exit point at The Three Trees, just by the Qudra to Solar Park roundabout. The convoy order will see the Intermediate and Support Team mixed in with the other drivers at regular intervals, with the task of each assisting the couple of cars directly in front of, or behind, them: @Glenn W in Second Lead @Warbs at #3 @Martin M at #4 @J-P L at #5 (Center) @B.K. at #6 @Sherry Jacob at #7 @Sunstreaker at #8 and @Giacomo in Sweep. Looking forward to seeing you tomorrow afternoon, here: https://maps.app.goo.gl/rMZTLTByTvAgN6Be8

Hi @JeromeFJ: Thankyou for welcoming me and i am excited for the drive. Regarding the questions - I have zero off-road experience. - Yes, the car has front and rear towing points. - Yes, I have flag, deflator, and compressor. - Yes, for the radio which is already tuned to Carnity frequency. - Yes for the video too. Thankyou again.

Good morning all Thank you for signing up for the drive tomorrow in Nahel. It will be a quiet crossing of the big dunes close to Nahel, continuing through tracks and sabkha. No real difficulties expected, but still be sure your car is in order, with a tank sufficiently full. Meeting time is at 6:30 am. Be sure to reach no later than this time, so that we can prepare the cars and do a briefing to be on the move before 7:00. I will issue the convoy order by the end of the afternoon, stay tuned.

I will remove myself too as I don't think I will make it in time

I'm really sorry @Ale Vallecchi but I have to retire myself from this one. I was really excited to go on this drive.

Removed myself, no luck
