  1. RSVP IS NOW CLOSED @Frans M@Ahmed Shaaban@Lazy Frog@Aringga@Thomas54675@Sivaprasad Gopalakrishnan@Menon Arun@Ishak@Jean Jarjoura@Bhaskaran Ramaswamy@Warbs@khurram@saumik1989@Ana@Theo Prado@Mei Ling@Ahmed Wagdy@Imran Asghar We have a nice long train for tomorrow! Please take note of the below pointers to make the best of the available time: 1. Please try to arrive 15mins earlier so you have time to deflate and set up your flag. Latecomers will need to bring all of us a cappuccino and croissants . 2. Once you arrive you can deflate your tires to 14-15psi when you have HT tires, or 11-12psi if you have AT tires. Don't hesitate to approach any of the senior members or myself for help if needed. 3. Walkie Talkie communication channel 8 will be used: 446.18125 Mhz. If you don't have a radio yet we can lend you one if you are on your first drive with us. 4. Make sure to arrive with a full fuel tank. Not that we will empty it from this single drive, but this is a safety precaution that we always follow. A prepared off-roader is a happy off-roader. As always, teamwork will be crucial, so let's be patient with each other and enjoy the beautiful area while we are approaching the glorious winter season. See you all tomorrow morning !
  2. Hi @Ana during offroading the window frame is flexing a bit, so I would indeed not recommend driving in the desert as it might crack entirely. Hope you can get it fixed soon.
  3. Dear @AlexO You can find a bit more details below: Basically when starting off in our club, you are first in the Newbie level category until you have completed 5 Newbie Level drives. Then you can request your promotion to Fewbie Level. If you happen to have other club experience and want to request an early promotion to Fewbie, you will in any case first need to do 1 Newbie level drive, and after completing that drive, request your promotion online to Fewbie and document your experience and number of drives you have done in other clubs. If accepted by us, you will be promoted to Fewbie level after one Newbie level drive. Hope this clarifies the situation.

  5. Quick addition, and FREE gpx.studio — the online GPX file editor This little app (running from web-browser) allows for easy planning of routes and tracks. Once your plan is made, you can save your route as a .GPX file and load it into your favorite mobile app. Looks simple but is actually quite powerful. Take into account that it does not save your tracks (no repository). It's just a small online tool. If you feel Gaia / Caltopo is a bit too complex, this tool could be ideal for you. Next to the Mapbox Sattelite Imagery, you can also use Google Maps Terrain or Hybrid as layer. Go to Settings, Layer Settings, Customs Layers. Make a new layer by adding these hyperlinks: Google Hybrid: https://mt1.google.com/vt/lyrs=y&x={x}&y={y}&z={z} Google Terrain: https://mt1.google.com/vt/lyrs=t&x={x}&y={y}&z={z}

  7. DRIVE DESCRIPTION Tucked in the heart of the Marmoom Desert Conservation Reserve, the Dubai Maktoum Solar Park offers more than just a glimpse of cutting-edge renewable energy. The surrounding desert is alive with wildlife—you might spot graceful gazelles, majestic oryx, or even a caravan of camels making their way across the dunes. Exploring this vast, sunlit landscape is always a rewarding experience. Starting your adventure from Faqa, the plan is to trace a wide loop skirting the solar park, soaking in desert scenery along the way, before circling back toward Dubai for a fitting finish. We request every member that joins this drive to go through the below information and strictly follow these guidelines, etiquettes and responsibilities.
