Contact octane78 by PM and tie up a meeting point with him. He is the nearest for you as per present list of confirmations.
Also do PM srimath. In case he confirms his participation, ride with him from Tarnaka itself.

Dropping MP 1A as it is very close to MP 1B. Renamed 1B as 1 (Balanagar).

Should we settle for one of the Medchal Dhabas like Sony, Zee, New Zee or whatever else it is, rather than looking for last minute options. I think we can make it back to these places by 1.30 ish. I haven't been to any of these places before, so I can't comment on the quality of these places

You are coming with RR ? Then you might have to rethink the 8 AM timing at IDLI Dosa and You.

It just crossed my mind that Republic Day will be a special day at the Airforce base. Are the celebrations open to the public ?

Or atleast, are there any displays by jets/helicopeters which can be seen from afar.

show us some planes.

Thanks.

Hi Buddy

No special celebrations here. we will have air and ground displays in june. You are most welcome then.

Cheers

[Vihari]

Bajaj sir, I am going to Kuruvapuram temple on 26th and hence cannot join. May be next time.

[PVS]

Good to see a healthy number for the Medak drive; Have a safe and enjoyable drive folks! Medak(and onwards to Bodhan) road is good to drive on.

[mobike008]

Plan is to drive via. Narsapur Forest Road and stop at following places :-

1. Pocharam Lake ( Anyone knows where it is exactly?)

2. Medak Church

Return via. NH7 and stop at Medchal Dhaba for lunch

Which dhaba is most recommended? I used to practically live in those dhabas until a few years ago and almost all of them are equally good but, their pricing is exorbitant

We can choose between Sony vs. Zee vs. Classic

Our drive plan should be in such a way that we reach the dhaba at 1:00pm so it's best we leave on time as suggested

Points to Note :-
1. Total drive will be around 220kms
2. Carry enough cash/change to pay for the lunch
3. Fill fuel/air a day before
4. Carry your cameras
5. Lastly, Be on Time

[a4anurag]

I'm moving to the Regret list as I am undergoing an operation tomorrow so will not be able to move around for the next 3-4 days.

I recently joined team bhp as a member this week, even though I have been an avid fan for more than a year.

Don't know if there are specific rules in terms of who can join the meet. Can I join the meet and be part of the drive? I haven't taken my new ford fiesta for a spin out yet.

If yes, I would be glad to join. If not, I will look forward to the next meet as well as the updates here.

You are most welcome to join in. The drive is open for all the members of this community and also their friends and relatives. Where will you meet up? Madinaguda? Balanagar? Dundigal-ORR Junction?

Abhi_Abarth, PM octane78 or downsouth and see if they can help you out to join in.

Thanks hyd_traveller. I am glad I could join. I will start from Serilingampally. So, the nearest option for me is Madinaguda.

Others who are starting from Madinaguda - can you PM me and I can check with you for the details. Also, it would be good to know if there are others who are starting from Serilingampally.

Welcome to Team-BHP and what a way to start your new membership by joining for a drive meet rightaway

Till you finish 25 posts neither you can send a PM nor anyone else can send you one. If you do not mind, do post your number here so we can ask someone from that area to call you and coordinate

Cheers and look forward to meeting you !!
