| ![]() Had a nice long drive from the city in my Thar with KShiva in his Thar to the meeting point in Pavinjur, Madurantakam. On the way we saw Sathish (sorry dont know his TBHP handle)and friend so there were three Thars on the highway in formation for a bit. But the youth sped away leaving myself get to the exit from the highway slowly and steadily. Metup with Kshiva at Madurantakam and then proceeded onwards including getting a bit lost along the way. Thanks to a lot of stopping and asking for directions and calls to Arka we finally reached. It would be really good to have a GPS/Google Map with the meeting point marked to make life a lot easier. Here are some photos I took on the first day (I couldn't stay back for the second day). Starting with the lineup at PNC Farms before heading to the OTR site. and then the lunch (sorry took only one photo - was busy gobbling). ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() To be continued (need to resize the photos...)

| ![]() It was an exciting and exhilarating experience two days of off-roading with the C.O.R.E group. Thanks to Arka and team for making it an enjoyable event. I had my share of excitement, obstacles that would simply pose an issue to me while being too simple for others, obstacles that were a breeze for me and so on. Also, on the first day had the clutch-fluid pipe of my Thar cut - again thanks to the team for getting the spares overnight and getting my Thar ready - enjoyed the second day very much. Sushil has already uploaded lot of photos of day-1. so not flooding with more. Arka - waiting for the photos of day 2. Day 2 was a lot more excitement with sand dune bashing |
