    COVID 19 PREVENTION MEASURES
    A. At the meeting point, please park the vehicles at least 5 metres apart and observe standard social distancing practices.
    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 Channel 7 (462 712.50) 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.
    H. In the event of a recovery, please radio your position in the convoy and vehicle – a marshal will advise you on how to self recover or will assist.

    Checklist:
    a) Fully functional 4×4 vehicle with full tank of fuel.
    b) Air compressor in working condition.
    c) Recovery rope / strap.
    d) Compatible radio pre-programmed to DO frequencies.
    e) Refreshments for you and your passengers (if you have them).
    f) Offroad flag attached to vehicle.

    Etiquette:
    1) Registering and not coming along may stop others from joining and is easily avoidable – so please be courteous and withdraw if you can’t make it.
    2) Be punctual.
    3) Avoid bringing along unregistered participants without prior permission.

    Thank you for taking the time to read this and prepare properly – see you on the sand!

    Hi,

    Welcome to Dubai Offroaders!

    You need a flag with a mount, preferably not a suction cup one and a radio that you know how to tune.

    Let us know if you need any assistance arranging those items.

    Thanks for last week, and great to be back on the sand! I’ve not been up to Fossil Rock yet, so looking forward! Are we intending to do the two convoys this week?
    Cheers guys,

    We’ll have multiple convoys segregated according to the driver’s skill level, depending upon the number of Marshals available for support.
