The Alfa Kilo challenge | 25th - 27th June | Followed by Mumbai/Rajmachi OTR

Maybe for the next recce, all the vehicles shouldn't go - because then it just takes too much time to wait for everyone to complete all obstacles, and stay together.

I suggest that for the next recce, if Kunal would want some assistance, we could take just 1 or maximum 2 vehicles. This doesn't mean that rest of us can't go as passengers

But seriously - 3 vehicles at the most, and we can have some hope of actually exploring terrain which Kunal has not been to as well.

What do you guys think?

Edit: Just saw on another thread, that the Bangalore guys are discussing the same thing!

Imran,

you are right we have already discussed this, we will not take all the vehicles during the recce. we will need 3 vehicles for sure.

That ball is already in motion

This really sounds interesting. Will be a great oppertunity to link up with all the "master offroaders". After the goof up the day before, I will learn a trick or two from the gurus

Thanx Kunal.

Had a wonderful time with you and the gurus of 'off roading' I did learn a lot, For me it was my first off roading trip and I was amazed with what our Gypsies, Gurkha and 550's can do. Though I beleive its the driver and not the vehicle but you all were amazing and hardcore. Kunal just waiting for you to do up my mm550.

I will be seeing you all very often in the future.

Cheers.. Kishor.
