    B. Face mask and gloves to be worn at all times.
    C. No shaking hands, hugging or any other physical contact.
    C. Max 3 persons per vehicle, or 5 if from the same family staying in the same house.
    D. Drive briefing will be carried out by radio, so please tune to the specified channel/frequency (radio channels and frequencies will be shared by WhatsApp) once your tyres are deflated and flag is mounted, so you are ready to await instructions and to drive.
    E. Drivers AND passengers should remain in their vehicles, after deflating their tyres and NOT meet or socialise with other participants.
    F. No sharing of any food or drinks.
    G. No sharing of any equipment, tow topes, shackles, radios or any other accessory.

    Hello Sohail,

    Thank you for your question.

    I would not recommend infant passengers to accompany you on this trip. Despite the route being mostly tracks the terrain is still quite harsh and given we will be on the trail most of the day it may not be suitable for very young children. Subsequently, we will also be traveling through quite remote areas where telephone reception is tentative therefore access to rapid medical and emergency assistance could be an issue.

    There will be future road trips that will be more suitable for younger passengers to join.

    Hello Sohail,

    Participants may bring family members on this trip however I would not recommend infants given the harshness and remoteness of the trails.

    The decision to participate and bring family members is at the participants discretion. I hope you can appreciate that I can not take responsibility for participants or their family members who come on the trip.

    The route will take us down 3 trails. At the end of each trail there will be a short section of tarmac and civilization. If participants decide after a section that the trail is not suitable they will have the option to leave the trip at the tarmac section.

    I hope this answers your question. If you have any further questions please do not hesitate to call me.

    Thanks,
    Hafid
