    Day and date: Thursday Dec 1st, 2016
    Drive Type: Relaxing drive through smooth dunes and desert tracks for newbies with a few drives and above
    Meeting Point: N25.13528° E55.52990°
    Google Maps: https://goo.gl/maps/99e3tECUQpP2
    Meeting Time: 0530
    Drive Start: 0600
    Drive End: 1000
    Duration: 4 hours
    Drive Route: Dubai E44 towards RAK all through the desert
    Drive Terrain: Smooth dunes and tracks

    For those not heading south to Starfish or east to Dibba let’s have a smooth and relaxing drive through the desert from Dubai E44 to RAK. We will pass through various plantations and farms as we make our way under the rising sun. Depending on Marshal and Deputy involvement we may have to keep the convoy small. As such, I will share the meeting point details to all the confirmed participants later this week.

    Hope to see you early in the morning!!

    Matt

    Hi Matthew,
    Do you have place in your convoy for someone who would like to gain faith & confidence in off-roading again?

    Hi Paul, welcome back!
    I am also kind of re-starting my carrier with DO 😉 .

    2 questions: is Al Hamra Cellar better (selection wise) / cheaper than the shop at Barracuda Resort? Any member card is required?

    i’m not to be able to make it tomorrow because of work. Rugby 7s is looming and still plenty to do! Please head off to the shop, speak with Wilson the store manager and quote Dubai Offroaders and you will get 20% off in the shop. Well worth the the trip, trust me!

    Let me know how you go!!!

    Good morning everyone. I have posted the meeting point location above. Please plan to be there by 5:30am and get deflated right away. We will want to push off by 6am.

    Ajay will be joining us as well so we will have 2 convoys. As such, everyone who is signed up is welcome.

    See you bright and early tomorrow!
