Dear Pitch Black Riders Harshal @Harshal Jaro Tuzinsky @Jaro Tuzinsky Benjamin @Benjamin Glenn W @Glenn W MohamedSherif @MohamedSherif Gautam Banka @Gautam Banka topgear @topgear Hugo @Hugo Thejas Uthran @Thejas Uthran Waqar Sarwar @Waqar Sarwar Davie Chase @Davie Chase Simon D @Simon D Hello and welcome again . I hope every one is ready and anticipated for the action tonight . Few things to remember : Please do re check you fluids and required gear as per rank once more. come with full tank up to the brim . off road lights are not mandatory except for the lead car . However if you have them it’s ok but make sure you don’t glare the car in front . Please make sure to have full cover of the legs and feet and try avoid the shrubs when ever we stop . Also keep the radio always with you as well as adequate light when ever you are out of your car. please maintain the convoy discipline at all time , no take over or gravity fight especially when we do the in/out bowing or climbing . Keep 3 to 4 cars distance and follow the track please. If unsure don’t try to venture on your own instead stop and announce it on radio so we can help you to get on track. Please don’t bring passengers whom are known to develop motion sickness or not accustomed to desert terrains as immediate exit might not be in hand in the middle of the dark desert. please be on time 20:15 or slightly earlier so we can start the drive and finish on time or even earlier. we will use carnity channel 2 ( 446031 ) for communication . Make sure your radio is set and fully charged . And remember No radio or flag = No Drive please note that the drive RSVP is closed now below is the convoy order

Hi Varu, could you please share the meeting point, just to plan ahead? Thank you.

@Varun Mehndirattaconfirmed, and looking forward to it!

Can confirm by tomorrow only. May be not available on Saturday

Dear Desertnauts a few info about the drive, while I am about to fly back to the Gulf's shores. We plan to execute quite a technical drive, likely in an area that will not see the challenge augmented by too much vegetation, other than the Ghaf trees that dot the northern border of the Solar Park area, under the watchful, sometimes menacing, eye of Sauron (AKA the Solar Tower). In fact, we plan to navigate almost by sight alone, following the line of trees that are visible from the very entry into the Lisaili plateau, from the Solar Park side. As for our meeting point, which I will post ASAP, please reach the third roundabout on the road between Qudra's Last Exit and Solar Park's Innovation Center, drive around it, head back toward Qudra, and exit between the guard rails, onto the sand and gravel track below the pylon line. At the moment, this will be the convoy order: @Imran Kashif in Second Lead @Mohit Gurnani at #3 @Brett Eicher at #4 @Bravoecho at #5 @Zulfikhar Naiyar at #6 @Salim Akhtar at Center @Stumpy Paj at #8 @Pierre de Maigret at #9 @Mark B at #10 @Bjoern at #11, and @Naveen Raj in Sweep We'll choose the radio channel on the spot. Looking forward to seeing you all at 7:00 AM on Sunday. Enjoy the end of the week.

Hi @Varun Mehndiratta, confirmed.

Confirmed!!! ✅

Hi Sand Sailors So looks like we have a small convoy, a good chance to explore things not so practical with a big convoy. Will plan the route accordingly - however before I do so just to ensure we have all on board, kindly let me have your confirmation for the drive. Looking forward for your confirmations. Thanks @Joseph Raju @Gary F @Saverio Arena @Gertjan @topgear

Another adventure for the hobbitses!! Under the watchful eye!

Hi @M.Seidam, apologies as I will not be able to join the drive today, have a family matter to attend.

I can’t make it. I will join next time.

I will drop. I just realized that I am doing a night drive on Fri night. Apologies @Varun Mehndiratta
