Dear Members
I have done the drive though on the 29th of Dec and these are my general guide lines:
Best Regards
I have done the drive though on the 29th of Dec and these are my general guide lines:
- The drive will start with flat and easy grounds but don’t be upset … it is going to be very interesting later on and there will be hard areas too.
- You have to have a RADIO which can change the frequency to the almost channel or others “communication is the key factor to stay together ".
- You have to have a Poll because it is going to be dusty in some places where you will be seeing only the flag poll and won't see the car in front of you.
- It is a good idea if you a GPS because it will help more not to get lost and in case that happened you can pass your coordinates to the leading car to come and help you.
- Remember the car in front of you and the car behind you.
- You have to work as a team so if the leading car OVER TAKE someone, all of you should do the same or the convoy will be disconnected.
- If you decide to have a free play you should ask the leading car or he has the right to leave you.
Best Regards

[quote=sanbloody;20029]Bu Saleem, Thanks for the info,
Will there be fuel available on the midway?
Request to have a final list of Almosters who will be joining the convoy[/quote]
Would you expect a petrol station in a desert?? Just carry jerrycan with you. Also in the morning, before the actual start there is Emarat petrol station 3 km away. But you can expect all cars (1000+) try to get petrol there... Think about another option.

[quote=sanbloody;20060]Capri....i was referring to the fuel tankers which were available in GNFD 2012. I will carry a jerry can for sure.[/quote]
Fuel tankers earlier were just a mess, with very low efficiency...

They always have a point close to a Gas Station around half way thru the drive....but still better to start with a full tank and carry a Jerry Can too.
