Good morning Team !
Thanks for signing up for this drive, some of you have done this terrain already before, while for other it will be the first time.
What to expect ?
This is not your typical dunebashing and sidesloping terrain, as it varies from lushy green terrain into farmtracks, and includes some nice technical terrain to test all your skills. We will exit in Falaj Al Mualla, which has the famous watch towers, and is officially in Umm al Quwain, so in fact we will be driving in 2 Emirates
Bring your camera and try to enjoy the terrain, as we expect to see goats, donkeys, camels, and lots of vegetation. Consider this more to be a kind of overlanding exploration. I am sure we will have fun and i particularly like the area because there are no other offroaders in sight.
As for the convoy list:
@Anoop Nair will be on his 51st drive, which i can only applaud as he has come very far and i know i can rely on him 100% to be my second lead. In the center, we will have @Davie Chase who has been recently promoted to support team, and will be eager to demonstrate his magnificent shoveling skills 😁
Towards the back we have really experienced members, and it's great to see @Probir Mukherjee back with us in Carnity.
@topgear, and most-probably his super-co-pilot that will be with him will be sweeping our convoy.
We will be using Channel 1: 446.00625 Mhz.
I hope to see you all tomorrow at 4PM sharp, there will be a small part of the drive in dark, which changes the whole perspective on driving in the sand. There is no need for extra night lights on your 4x4, but if you have them be ready to test them
