@M.Seidam my apologies looks like I will have to drop out of the drive. I should have flown back from the UK on Monday but got a positive PCR test so couldn't fly!

No symptoms but it seems once you have had Covid as I did at Christmas any tests after that are something of a lottery!! Can't guarantee I'll be back in time for Sunday morning.

Have a great drive .

Hope all will be good @Matt.T safe trip back

@Hisham Masaadno problem at all, thanks for the notification and have a good drive!

Thank you @Bruno Finel for understanding, hope to meet you in sand soon

Good morning @Hisham Masaad. I just want to check how far you can extend the convoy if it’s possible?🙏

Good morning @Reggie Landicho, can extend up to 12 max

Dear @Bruno FinelI am afraid some system error, where should have added @Karthik Raptor, as soon as a drop out happened. Looks you found a space and added your self. I am afraid will have to remove your name to the WL, and add @Karthik Raptor instead. Apologies for the same. Hope will have a space for you to join.

@Hisham Masaad, being at waitlist 1, would I be added to the drive when someone left. Pls confirm. Thanks.

Yes @Karthik Raptor system should add you

Thank you @KAMALIO @Jose Thomas @Mark D @Omar ElGamal @Ashy @Karthik Raptor @Sudhanva Sonawane @Rob S @Richard Franks and @Paul Zeitoun for joining. it was fun at the end, unfortunately much time spent on replacing tire and try to fix a pop out. Usually the area is more fun, but turned out somehow technical after the rain and wind happened last week. Every one was good, except some refusals which was self recovered, and there was no need for any recovery tools. Thanks @Ashy and @Paul Zeitoun for the support. Thanks @KAMALIOfor being SL. Hope to see you again, and the area is back to  normal.

See you soon in sand

congratulations @Tareq Al Turqwell done

Congratulations @Quresh Pajero well done

Someone left the drive and I got in 😃 but would still like to know if we shouldn't wait till the WhatsApp notification is received to join drives as apparently the drives are live well before the notifications are released.

The drives are live one time 7pm. As I said  @Waqar Sarwar the delay is due to you start from the WhatsApp message to go to the website 

Dear @Waqar Sarwar, looks you wait for the WhatsApp notification and you take it from there. This is causing a delay to reach to the drive post. I will tell you what I used to do:

- 1st, I had a weekly reminder 10 minutes before the drives posts, to make sure I have enough time to clear things and set waiting

- 1 or two minutes will visit the web site, stretch my finger and keep refreshing the web site. You need of course high speed Internet connection, that’s why better to use 5G mobile connection

- As soon as the drives are posted will select the drive I need and select going. 👍
