    I would be missing off-roading for two week ends due to personal commitments…SORRYYYYY 🙁
    Dear D.O’s,
    A request if a drive is scheduled on Friday’s, can it be scheduled on 14:30hrs..as go to Friday prayers to certain masjid’s with family.
    After that it will be comfortable to reach on time. Just a request, rest the management can decide.
    Thanks,

    sunset is around 17:30 so meeting at 14:00 gives us a little more driving time.

    Correction Chris – drive has to start at 14:00 to spend atleast 3.5 hours in sand before sunset.
    Otherwise its not worth to drive all the way to Al Faqqa.. 😀 What say?

    Actually I would prefer the early morning drives… this way we get to make it to Friday prayers and spend the rest of the day with the Family also…
    Will try to make it to the afternoon drive this friday, but not sure if I can take time away from the kids this week…
