Dear Desertnauts

Considering the enormous number of wait listed members, it has been decided to re-open the drive, and accept up to 22 Newbies and above. The convoy will then be split in 2, with the legendary @Gaurav leading the other group. 

Therefore, I have added all those waitlisted to the drive. 

@Luca Palanca Falsini, @paolo dassi, @Ahab Shamaa, @Paul Zeitoun, @Santhosh kumar Rajasekaran, @varunmehndiratta, @Bala Krishnan, @AlexPol, @Hisham Masaad, PLEASE REMOVE YOUR NAME FROM THE LIST, IF YOU CHOOSE NOT TO PARTECIPATE IN THE DRIVE.

Looking forward for the final information before the drive, in the next couple of days.

 

 

 

Thanks @Ale Vallecchi and the team. Look forward

Meeting time: 7:00 AM (SHARP-Without any exceptions) - PLEASE NOTE: Meeting time is 30 MIN. LATER than usual

Action Plan: IMPORTANT NOTICE - This is a drive in an area mostly travelled by locals, in rather technical terrain.

@Frederic

Any chance we'll get an afternoon newbie drive as well? I've unfortunately got work friday morning  

Good morning @Wrangeld and @Frederic, after the first absolute newbie, which event can I register? newbie or newbie?

Regards

Dear Richard,

Thank you for the message. Yes was actually disappointed at that incident. Since I was looking to join you, after my friend recommendation about Carnity.... but no issues, I am sure for good. I am driving FJ Cruiser, 2010 model. I have attended a course of 1 day with Emirates Institute. After that I used to go off-road with groups, few time a year. My vehicles has tow hooks front and rear. I am glad to join you on a beginner trip, for you to evaluate and asses. I am always keeping the full set of tools including air compressor. 

Look forward to see you.

Take care and Regards,

Hisham

Dear Ale,
Surprised to receive the above, despite making the payment. I selected this since it suit me, time and location. I've been off road many times, after taking off road coarse with Emirates driving institute in Dubai. If still not acceptable, please cancel my subscription and return the payment.
Hisham
