    Meeting time: 1400
    Drive starts: 1430
    Drive terrain: Sand dunes
    Drive will end at sundown

    Convoy allocations and Radio frequencies will be shared by Whatsapp on Friday morning, just prior to the drive.
    Please be punctual to avoid making many others wait for you, as well as to maximize our time on the sand.

    IMPORTANT: If you are bringing smaller children, please ensure they are secured in an age-appropriate car seat, or bolster seat.

    D. Drive briefing can be viewed on this page and communications on the day will be carried out by radio, so please ensure your radio carries the correct channel announced on your convoy’s WhatsApp group so you can line up correctly once at the meeting point, deflate your tires are deflated and mount your flag.

    F. There is to be no sharing of any food or drinks.

    Hi everyone,

    Looking forward to our first trip with you all. We’ll have all our basic gear by the weekend. Hopefully one more can be added to this full schedule or we’ll hope for a cancellation. How does the wait list work?

    Thanks and have an awesome day.
