I wish I knew this drive since Monday. Saw the schedule previously was on Friday 9th, which is working day. And today suddenly I see the date has changed to Saturday. Hoping the next drives are on Saturday or Sunday and firmly posted. Thankyou. 

@Frans M this drive was only added yesterday afternoon since both the leads for yesterday's drive are down with the flu and the drive was cancelled. There is usually no change to the weekend drives, what's posted on Monday is final. This was an exception.

We will be doing a gentle Fewbie Level drive of about 1-1,5 hrs to stretch our legs and explore the Qudra area a bit. Then we will head together to the Winter Welcome Gatering Point a bit further down in Qudra.

please don’t park next to the road as this is a private road. Move a bit further into the sandy area, I’ll make sure to be there a bit earlier.

Hope to see you all tomorrow afternoon!

 

Hi guys, unfortunately Freddy will not be able to make it but I will take over this convoy. Meeting point and everything else remains the same. 

@LooperYes the 2 newbies drive really well and since we were just 4 cars, it gave me the opportunity to bump up the level as I could see both @Bjoernand  @Walter Palkright behind me doing very well. 

Regarding @Bjoerndaughter, that was my bad, I mistook her for Maria who did not show up. Clarified it with @Bjoernafter the drive. 

Congrats @Mark Birchwell done.
