That is the first leg - any guesses peoples?

Eddy · 11th May 2009, 11:30

I know the place.

phamilyman · 11th May 2009, 11:44

You of all the people should stay shut

That said - I have a spare Mico +30% bulb. Why don't you pick it up sometime.

suman · 11th May 2009, 11:47

Hmmm, get the broken number plate fixed - an open invitation for your friendly neighbourhood cop to make some money at your expense

11th May 2009, 11:54

Is this near Kufri? The trees and your HR plates tell me its North. I went to one of the muddy roads which looked quite similar with your permission I can post the picture. One of these roads looks like Morni Hills & Kasauli

schitre05 · 11th May 2009, 11:58

Is that the GPS holder on the dash? what model?
yes! the broken number plate (did a bumper kiss or what?)
no idea about the place though!

rkbharat · 11th May 2009, 11:59

delhi to chandigarh does not have any bad road like in pic 3, and then undivided roads, so it looks like in Uttaranchal, somewhere around Ranikhet

genesis · 11th May 2009, 12:06

Tiger Falls - Chakrata?

akroy · 11th May 2009, 12:10

SOmewhere in Uttaranchal I guess (Dehradun to Dakpathar Power plant??)

Abhi

gowda79 · 11th May 2009, 12:13

It should be somewhere in Uttarakhand

Guesses could be - Any one of these Hill-stations Nainital, Mussoorie, Almora, Kausani, Bhimtal and Ranikhet

Yeah - it was just a matter of trying to take out wallet from pocket while belted in, and car rolled forward onto an Amby taxi!

That was part of the route - Dakpathar, not Dun.

and its UK for sure - even the file name says so!!

@suman - lol. I know. On the agenda. But my number is still clear - unlike 50% of delhiites who deliberately obliterate a digit or two

akshay4587 · 11th May 2009, 13:57

badhiya hai tao
did you try deoban
next time ur here il steal ur gps mount

phamilyman · 11th May 2009, 14:18

Deoban didn't go simply because it was a hailstorm at Chakrata itself - called up deoban and heard that it was not worth it.

Of course, marked it. Need to come back sometime and ride all the way to Mundali. But that is not fit for a VDi - but the 180!

PS: The mount is just 120 bucks from reliance autozone!

wanderernomad · 11th May 2009, 16:42

OT but where is this Reliance autozone? And does it have more of such small knick knacks for the car? Nice pictures let us have some more of the route please.

MileCruncher · 11th May 2009, 16:59

OT: NCR being so strategically located has good and driveable options for weekend trips.

Hyderabad. Not so much
