RSVP closed RADIO Channel 2 CONVOY LIST Drive safely in the early morning could be densely foggy especially in Qudra . See you all in the morning by 6:30 am Inshallah

Dear Desertnauts, A quick briefing before tomorrow' Boot Camp. You will find the meeting and deflation point just posted on the drive's thread. Please try to reach it at least 15/20 minutes in advance of the posted meeting time, so that you may start to deflate in preparation for the drive, so that we may leave as close to the posted time as possible. Please deflate to around 13 PSI, or accordingly to your experience with your tires, from past drives. We'll provide a detailed briefing about all the maneuvers and skills that we'll practice shortly after our departure. If all goes well, we'll try to exit closer to Nahil, hoping to have gained enough self-assuredness and control to tackle the more complex terrain of the Nahil area. It will be fundamental that everyone brings a radio, to be able to receive all necessary instructions, and communicate successfully. The convoy order at the moment is the following: @Sviatoslav in Second Lead @S Mehta at #3 @Raptor Runner - Dhawan P at #4 @Eddie-Raptor at #5 @Albert_Spa at #6 @Mostafa Elbadawi at #7 @Emily Donovan at #8 @Lazy Frog at #9 @SHIHAN BEARY at #10 @UvinOverland at #11 @Amal Sunil at #12 and @Aser in Sweep. Looking forward to seeing you all tomorrow morning.

@Davie Smooth_Operator Hi bro, I won’t be able to join today — I’m down with the flu, and the kids are sick as well. I just wanted to say that I truly admire your spirit and your willingness to teach others. You’ve been a huge help to Newbies like me, and you’ve really helped me push past my fears. I’m genuinely grateful for that. Wishing you all the success in everything you do, bro. May God bless you and your family with good health, happiness, and prosperity always! Take care brother!

Dear @Davie Smooth_Operator, I won’t be able to join tomorrow but I didn’t want to miss the opportunity to say good bye to you and that I will miss having you and your red Jeep leading our convoys. Thanks for sharing your knowledge and your passion - I truly enjoyed driving with you. I wish you all the very best for your new adventure in Spain. 🇪🇸

Anyone can join anytime, they wish, even a little late is fine.

Hi @Gaurav, going to struggle to get away early enough for the 6pm meet up. Will drive directly to the gathering spot, as soon as I can get away from work.

@Suneedh Wrangler sorry to hear that Suneedh hope you and the family get well soon, it is always a pleasure to help and mentor folks like you that have that eagerness and willingness to learn my friend, i wish you well on your continued journey in the sands. Get well soon.

Hi frederic i am new to this group i must have clicked it by mistake. Thank you for notifying me. Appreciate it. no i wont be joining

Hi @Noufal i noticed that you signed into the manage tab. Are you planning on joining? This event is free for everyone to join of course. but is a farewell sit-down for one of our marshals, and not a desert drive or anything like that. Hope that clarifies Thanks !

Prado drive!

Will be 6 30 directly there

@M.Seidam, looking forward to the drive!

Dear Friends Please note that there are 5 fellow drivers on the wait list . Please if your plan changed let us know to avoid last minute drop. Thank you

Dear @Ale Vallecchi, I got a strong infection and basically cannot move out of my bed. Therefore, please remove me from tomorrow drive. Thank you

Thanks @Steffi for the kind words I also really enjoyed having you in the convoys and wish you all the best in your journey to master the ever changing dunes of the UAE. All the best for the future

Update 20251120 - The Sunday Plan: There is a large section of dunes just to the south west of Tilal ADNOC, bordered to the west by a farm and to the east by the Tilal drag race strip. Big Sidies, ridge riding and criss crossing. Next we will double back to the south east towards sweihan lake. Small dunes, technical sections. We will try and go straight through the dunes here instead of looping around too much, to train ourselves on the tech stuff before having a short break at the Lake. Westwards again across sabkha and some long range dunes, picking up the speed and connecting nice flowing sections towards the various rock formations. Next we zig zag south through a high technical zone, and across some areas with vegetation, to be rewarded with some TALL WIDE OPEN dunes which we will take big Sidies on and enjoy some high speed runs finishing towards north Khatim. LETS DO IT 💪

Thanks @Luke K P I am sure our paths will cross again, it was a pleasure driving with, getting to know you and sharing a few moments in the sand together Beat of luck on your own personal journey at Carnity and in the sands of Dubai and Abu Dhabi until our paths cross again all the best for the future Davie

would love to catch up and chew the fat @Davie Smooth_Operator but I have previous commitments for Friday evening. Have an excellent night mate!

Hi Due to unavoidable circumstances I would be not able to join tomorrow , very sorry
