Yes @Pascal. All confirmed. 

Great, see you there

Hi Ale, just double checking before leaving. The drive this afternoon is maintained right ? (as I see all drives tomorrow are cancelled due to weather)

Thank you Davie, Ishak, Zulfikhar, fantastic ride this morning, really enjoyed the smooth sailing through these dunes.

Enjoy the rest of the week end

Dear desert wanders, @Pascal and @Zulfikhar Naiyar as you guys may have noticed there are only two of you signed up for the drive, this is the minimum requirement for a carnity driver. Therefore, I wanted to reach out to both of you to gauge your intended participation. If either one of you drop out or is a no show on the morning of the drive we will not be able to move off and will have to cancel. I am more than happy to lead the drive with just the two of you, I just need to know that we will indeed have a convoy  please reply to this thread at your earliest convenience so we can make plans  for Saturday thanks in advance.

 

Hi Davie, 

I am definitely planning to join on saturday morning. Looking forward 😀

I might have to drop due to work comitment (to be confirmed tomorrow though), so I'll drop out. Enjoy the ride.

Hi will be 10:15 minutes late with the fog

Thank you Jerome for this amazing drive, lots of variety of terrain,  beautiful scenery, excellent lead and support.

Really enjoyed it. See you soon on the sand.

Thank you for making this trip happen, this was a great experience. Great lead from our Marshal, superb support team and great company. Looking forward to the next edition.

Sri and I are definitely camping the night before. 

Either camping or hotel near by, but definitely will be arriving the night before.

@Vanessa8580, thank you. 🙏🙏appreciate that.

Really looking forward to this drive..

Hello @Vanessa8580,

I was promoted to fewbie plus a couple month back (even though I did not do fewbie plus drives yet since).

so I understood that as fewbie plus with less than 2 fewbie plus drives you could register to the fewbie level.

I am also booked to a fewbie drive this coming week end (14th). So this will be 4 fewbie drive in the last 3 month + fewbie plus level. I was hoping that would be sufficient ?

(in addition I have 11 intermediate drives with another club (Abu Dhabi 4x4), in case that could help

I was really looking forward to this drive, since 1 year when I could not make it last year. Can you consider putting me back on.

Best regards,

Pascal

Hello Frederic, sorry I will need to pull out due to last minute commitment from work.

Real bummer, this drive looked very interesting...

Enjoy the drive and see you next time.

and happy new year to all

Dear all, I am having problems to upload pictures to the gallery (when I select a bunch, only 2 get uploaded for some reason). so I have created a shared folder where you can access the pictures:

Chaitanya, thank you for an amazing day, and keeping a fantastic spirit after a challenging start with your car breakdown and leading us safely to destination. The scenery was breath-taking, and the path you choose very smooth and technically very interesting. A day to remember forever.

And thank you to the amazing support team and the great company from everyone. Looking forward to the next trip.

(and looking forward to these aerial shots Jaro  😉)

Hi Pascal

camping will be close to the starting point 

I will be coming there after I finish work which might be well beyond dark. Some others might as well come there earlier - if u can coordinate here,   leave your numbers then we can get in touch

call me once u reach then I can plan out or let u know accordingly as the situation turns out.

 

Hello, we will also arrive after night, most likely around 19:30. My number: 050 449 3992

Good evening Chaitanya, we (my wife and I) may come tomorrow evening and camp (to avoid the risk of 80km/hr in the morning with the fog). Can you share the coordinate for the camping location where you will be camping if that's ok to join you (I don't know the area).

Hi @Pascal congrats on finding the spot in the drive with one of the most incredible leads…!  Are you still interested to join this drive on day 2…?

Hello Gaurav, yes, I got the spot on day 1 with Fewbie, so I will drop out from second day. Can't afford to go both days unfortunately.. I will drop out tomorrow from this drive tomorrow if that's ok with you (just in case some last minute commitment from work).

Hi @Pascal, I see that all the FB drives are full….

You can join this drive buddy.. . It’s a short convoy and we will have fun!! 
I will see you on 2nd morning!

 

Hi @GauravSoni thank you. I will keep on wait list in case a space frees up on the 1st . If not, I will join the drive with you on the 2nd.

Good evening @Chaitanya D, I have just registered for this drive so now first on  the waiting list). I did actually registered for the fewplus + drive on the 2nd, but since this would be my first fewbie plus drive after promotion, Gaurav advised me to join your drive instead to be more confortable, and join a "standard" fewbie plus drive later on. Apreciate if you could accept me for your drive... really looking forward to see the yellow truck.

Thank you,

Pascal

@Pascal I see that you have just joined the ranks of Fewbie+  and yet to complete your first FB+ drive. 

This is a big step up from Fewbie. I would recommend you to join a Fewbie drive to truly enjoy the day out!!

You can check the link below to (you still might get in as there can be dropouts) 

 

Hi Gaurav, Indeed this is true, I was not sure if this would be a good idea for a first fewbie+ drive, but was not sure to be free on thursday for the fewbie drive. I have managed to get myself free for thursday, so I have registered for the fewbie drive you mentionned. However, I am on a wait list (first on waitlist)....can you help to get me in, I was really looking forward to drive in that area and see the yellow truck

Hello Kailas,

Unfortunately  I will need to drop out from this drive due to work commitment tomorrow morning.

Enjoy the drive and see you on the next one.

Best regards,

Pascal

Thank you Gaurav and all, looking forward to the next level.
