    Meeting time: 13:00
    Drive starts: 13:30
    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.

    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.

    2) Be punctual.
    3) Any participants not registered on the forum site will not be allowed to join the drive.
    4) Passengers in Registered participant’s vehicles are not counted as participants and are free to join.

    The last 2 weeks the locations have been shared super late. Makes planning the journey very difficult before a drive – would be good to know the location a few days in advance. I’ve pulled out of this week.
    Hopefully this is resolved from next week onwards.
