Analysising your post we thought that you’d probably be doing that on Friday morning? If that’s not the case and given that bj missed out on the Friday afternoon drive and unfortunately Humayun went down with a bug for the Saturday drive, is it ok if we decide whose driving which bit by thursday?
:thanks:
Wow…i’m IN
We are in for both part 1 and 2

Its a good option to compensate, missed action of Sat. morning :drive: :drive: :drive:I can be in for phase 2 but some little concerns…
1. Hungry after 1st drive, Is there any restaurant near to our end point (Tired of eating ADNOC sandwiches)
2. I do not have a car fridge to keep the BBQ items cool & for fire-wood i need to run till Tawi-Nazwa.
Good one , Marshalls !!!!

1. For lunch… if you are bored with ADNOC sandwiches, then after the drive we do have along break for prayers and rest, you can take a turn to the Emarat petrol station behind where there is a cafeteria…
2. For barbeque items, its better you keep it in a cool box and secondly the firewood you will have to get it arranged a day before…..
Wow…i’m IN
