I’m in!
Such a nice area which I wish to attend =p~ but no the LIWA :p Have a good drive guys
@Dan : glad to see you changed from Liwa to Sand Mountain, will be great to drive with you again.
Although I will have guests, so probably the Fewbie convoy will be the right level for us this time.
Joe it looks fantastic. just a wildcard question .? Due to early start I might not be able to join but is there a planned stop that I or others could meet you guys at a couple of hours later ? No worries if not . Thanks

Thanksapologies Aron, this might not be possible as we would be deep in the desert by then
Sh*** I’ll miss this awesome drive. Enjoy !!
Hi,
Sorry, I have to remove my name. I have to be back in Dubai at 7pm.
Enjoy the fantastic Area
@Intermediate/advanced guys, please make sure you arrive with a full tank of fuel – don’t floor it from the last gas station to the meeting point 😉
We might take a longer (more fun) route this time. If you have Jerry cans at home, a 20L can should be more than enough – this is not necessary but whoever has one, I advise you to get it.
See you all tomorrow!

Its my first time with Dubai offroaders, i have the minimum requirements of tools, and went to desert with different groups and had 7 drives, looking forward to have my first drive with DOR
@edeg1972, yes it’s been too long! I’m really looking forward to my first time out since october!
