    Hi guys,

    I would like to join too, will be my first drive with Dubai Offroaders team. Couple of newbie questions,

    Equipments that one needs to carry for offroading –> have a tyre pressure gauge which I can use to deflate tires, have a OK compressor which I bought some time back from a hyper-market, worked decent on my sedan, would like to check with you guys before buying another one. Do not have any other gear, is that sufficient for first time?

    Rules Of The Trip –> Do I need to print this or something? if so can any one guide me to a printable link.

    Dubai Offroaders – Disclaimer –> Same query as above, do I need to print and sign this one?

    Hope to join you guys and learn something new ๐Ÿ™‚

    Regards,
    Vijay

    well, as I can see you have already registered, for the 1st time what you can have is a compatible radio if possible as its for your own good but if not possible you can still come and you will discover what else you are missing from the must have !

    best

    It was a great drive with two convoys, i was in Zakariya’s convoy we had a quick warm up session and headed to the big dunes soon. Had a couple of second attempts and we were on our way. Had a short break before iftar bowl, got to iftar bowl and had a pop out soon after we left took some time to fix that. We quickly headed off to super bowl had some fun there and on the way back had another pop out which kept us till sunset. Overall great drive just a few cars stuck a couple of times, nothing too bad. Kalander did a great job sweeping and guiding anyone who was going for second attempts and great lead !

    Thank you guys for the great experience.

    Hope faheems convoy had fun as well without any trouble !
