    D. Please watch the drive briefing on website page
    E. 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 tyres are deflated and mount your flag.
    F. Drivers AND passengers should remain in their vehicles, after deflating their tyres and NOT meet or socialise with other participants.
    G. There is to be no sharing of any food or drinks.
    H. No sharing of any equipment, tow topes, shackles, radios or any other accessory.
