Sorry ale I can not go tomorrow I must have clicked by accident, my apologies

@Ale Vallecchi looking forward to this one, has been too since I drove with you and done a Newbie. See you tomorrow!

Dear Desrtnauts. First and foremost a quick heads-up: in spite of the international situation across the Gulf, the conditions on the ground in Dubai do not warrant, for the moment, the cancellation of the drive. Therefore, we are still good to go. JUST ONE WARNING: UNTIL AROUND 1 HOUR BEFORE THE DRIVE (7:00 AM), I WILL BE MONITORING ANY POSSIBLE NEW ORDERS ISSUED BY DUBAI POLICE OR ANY OTHER AUTHORITY THAT MAY PROHIBIT MOBILITY AND OUTDOOR ACTIVITIES. In case, I will personally contact each one of you, if a cancellation becomes necessary. Other than this, please remember a couple of things: kindly have a radio available, and make sure it's fully charged make sure you refuel at Qudra's ADNOC gas station The drive will be preceded by a thorough briefing, when detailed information will be shared about choice of tires, deflation, minimum necessary tools, meaning of momentum, significance of gravity, and about driving skills such as convoy discipline, straight crossings, side sloping and dune switching) and environmental awareness (reading dunes, orientation principles, safety tips. The convoy order will be the following: @Shary in Second Lead @Hartzel at #3 @Yerem Davtyan at #4 @Nikki1007 at #5 @J-P L in the Center @Raj K at #7 @Arravind at #8 @Pramod Sathyaseelan at #0 and @Andrew John Melvill in Sweep. Hoping to see you all tomorrow, I kindly remind you to check the thread before leaving home, in case I have to post about a cancellation (which at the moment seems unlikely). Have a nice Saturday evening.

Drive remains active and on inshallah drive safe and see you by 10 pm

Hello @Hartzel. Of course it is. We will be nowhere near any potential location of interest. No worries. Thanks for asking.

Hello Gaurav—quick heads up that we’re running about 10min behind. Our ETA is 1:10pm this afternoon. Will that be okay? Were 32min away—over halfway there.

10 pm Corrected In the Callander

I have been indeed on the look out for Ramadan Sohor night drive, as if you read my mind Dr @M.Seidam , thank you 😁 Also something to look for that evening/night, there will be planetary alignment on Saturday, please watch out on the West to Southwest side 🪐

Dear @Ale Vallecchi, I would skip this drive. Sorry for canceling at the last moment.

Dear @Ale Vallecchi, my apologies, will skip tomorrow. Have fun and stay safe!

hi @Gaurav , apologies for the late notice but I have a back injury that is playing up - I will not be able to make it today unfortunately. Hopefully I will join for another drive in a week or so once it has settled down.
