We are in and will drive up on Friday morning. We went this way a few weeks ago and it’s continuous roadworks after you get past AD city which might slow you down on Thursday night.
we are interested in joining but would only come up on the Friday morning.
Hi Mathieu. We are very much interested and I will try my best to join.
I wonder if I can go with my other car: Honda Pilot (MRV) wich is a 4WD very confirtable for the road but its bumpers are not designed for dune bashing rides. Will we be driving on some dunes?

Hi Guys, I have to apologize on this one. I did not look at my calendar correctly. The weekend Jan 13th/14th is not good for me to do this trip. I will aim to do it in early to mid-Feb. There just aren’t enough weekends in the month for all the fun activities 🙂
Trip back on…details above.
Sorry Matt, we can’t make this new date.

Can you share the final destination. As we will come up on the Friday morning only.
Yes, I will share the coordinates of the campsite. It is very easy to access and this way anyone can come and go as they please. This will make it a very easy-going, relaxing weekend so people can come and go and enjoy at their convenience.

Dear All,

As mentioned above, I will be departing from the petrol station at about 5:30pm. You are more than welcome to follow me there but please just let me know so that we can plan for this. Alternatively, you may make your own way there at your convenience on Thursday or Friday.
If you have any questions please just let me know. I will create a WA group for easier communication so please let me know if you would like me to add you.
Thanks,
Matt
