    Duncan, Levi, truly sorry guys… gonna have to back out of the drive due to work.

    If i can make it, I’ll probably make a phone call at the last minute, if that’s okay.

    Dear Duncan and team. I could have joined but have some issues with my anckel. (Twisted). Just an advice, I wouldn’t recommend 3 cars convoy for this track due to weather and terrain. You need to be minimum 5 cars to drive in the area as a safety precautions. I would strongly suggest/recommend to not to drive unless you have sufficient convoy. Thanks for your understanding.

    Thanks Fida, Much appreciated. Thankfully we will actually be 5 or more cars so should be a good :drive:
