Thanks Yogesh! It was a 5 hour drive to the flag-off point, hence i had to leave atleast 7hrs before the event starts.

A spectacular trail. The river crossing must have been fun. More pictures to share, please?

You guys are crazy...!!! Crossing a River (not a stream) in heavy monsoon flow, WOW.

This is pure fun. Waiting for more pics.

nandishpal · 10th August 2009, 17:16

i am sure it was too much fun to experience,what about the damage?looking at the pictures it surely feels there was damages on a few cars

darshan.ckm · 10th August 2009, 17:22

Yes it was indeed a very spectacular trail. Initially three river crossings were planned but due to paucity of time we could only complete one. Attaching some more pictures enjoy!!!!

Cheers
