Dear Duncan and team. I could have joined but have some issues with my anckel. (Twisted). Just an advice, I wouldn’t recommend 3 cars convoy for this track due to weather and terrain. You need to be minimum 5 cars to drive in the area as a safety precautions. I would strongly suggest/recommend to not to drive unless you have sufficient convoy. Thanks for your understanding.
