    Gathered my bits from the list, I notice no mention of a flag, should I get one in the morning? If so, anyone know any stores that supply?

    Looking forward to it!

    Well spotted. It should say flag also for all members. This is also a prerequisite if you drive with us more than once. We can edit the list. Hamza!!!!

    Hi Darrag,
    Tomorrow morning it will be difficult to get a shop which will be open from where u could get a flag.
    I would suggest dragon mart tomorrow before Friday prayers time. U could get a foldable fishing rod and a suction cup which can be used as a flag. You could also visit any of the cycle shops in there to get a flag.

    The area has all the high dunes which we will visit before we finish at sundown at a point to be decided by your lead Marshall.

    This area is less busy than what you are used to and so we will have plenty of trackless dunes to enjoy our sport.

    Hope all can make it for some Friday fun! Adrenalin will be guaranteed.

    Had a super (first) time in the sand, nice to meet you guys and big thanks to the marshals for their hard work, good advice and pointers! You took great care of us newbies!

    That was a blast, cannot wait for the next one!

    Thanks again,

    Hey Dara,

    Was a pleasure having your company and you rocked with the H3.

    I’d recommend just getting the slight heating issue with your ride checked out, as we wouldnt want that hampering us from having a lot more fun in the weeks to come.

    Till next time, drive safe and remember “Keeping Having FUN !!!!”

    Pleasure was all mine Saif and thanks again for the tow out of my ridge balancing act ๐Ÿ˜€

    Yes, I’m on the case with that, seemed to be ok after that main spike we spoke about, and your advice. Across the day it rose on average 20/25% to normal, with a/c off less but I’m going to drop in this week for a once over just in case.. I plan on giving it some proper sand action from now on so best have it right!
