Perfect.Just googled and it seems to be a wonderful place to drive to.
I am game.

But lets plan fast before the weekend comes and goes

[driverace]

Well, Well, well..

Get typing people!
and quick.

I am in.

Horsely Hills - 180ish km is cool!
I will be coming on my Autobot

Ok, if we are not populating because of the distance,

I was going to suggest a Nandi Hills / Cabana outing.
Lets keep that on table too?

Come on people, where is the enthu!?

care,

Ace.

P.S. Oh, yes.. the Autobot is here!

I am in, if we are coming back in the same day. BTW there are very few rooms left at horsley hills Harita (APTDC hotel)

[markmytravel]

Which date[s] are we planning. Need to be working on Friday but Sat/Sun works well for me. Cookie's gone for servicing, will be nice to see what Kropex has really done.

[thedreamcatcher]

Seems interesting. I may join as well

I generally use my Sedan for long drives, but since one Autobot is coming, I wil also get the Autobot. Which colour do you have?

Ok you guys at least managed to get me envious.
Would love to own a autobot one day.

So is everyone expected to post that they are in or is someone expected to drive this trip planning which includes planning the days and routes and stay.

DD where are you? As always you start the spark and are nowwhere to be seen when the fire gets full fledged.

[DigitalDragon]

Well...well..guys I am there. I am just watching the momentum and varied options. Will pitch in appropriately.

Now I had a different idea - for 3 days in the sense, going really far in true sense of outing. Options could be Goa, Kabini, Bandipur, Kodai, Dandeli, Ankola etc etc.

Other option is just for a day - morning to evening and Horshley fits there. I would not suggest for a stay back there.

[shishir_bn]

Horshley is not a play where you can cmap. Why not shift the base to Kodai

[SPEEDY_RACER]

i will also not suggest Horsely Hills especially in the summer.

its a best place for only one day.(morning to evening) and return back.

i would suggest Kodai, since already OOTY has been ruled out since its very hot now a days.

[driverace]

Ok, lets get organised.

When(!): I think, (per Chennai's discussion), there is no concrete day from their side.
Considering, its a long weekend for most (not all), Saturday would be comfortable for all.
(Guys with long weekend can do some home cleaning on Fri, and be good, so, they can come on Saturday )
(Guys, with short weekend, come on, you still got Sunday, to do the cleaning and shopping.)

So, Saturday? (can leave early like 6ish?)
^^Confirmation here, then we can plan further. on the "when"

VV (response to the post below: Hey, many people may not be able to make it a 3 day fest. Besides you would need to recharge for the last day at the least before the damn work week ahead!?, do suggest, btw, I am good for 3 days aswell !)

Where: Here, I think the Horsely hills are a good and long drive. So, we can all satisfy our driving thirst, and we get to see places farther than normally we would. So overall, it looks good
Plus, lets fix the day, and convey the Chennai super kings, that we are coming on Saturday, so, they could arrange similar, to make it bigger meet.

Who all:

1. DigitalDragon (Sure)
2. Krish3 (?)
3. Ace (Duh! Sure!)
4. AlterEgo (Sure?) (OT: I added the question mark, after looking at your avataar , nice Avataar! )
5. Praz (Sure)
6. flyingkolors(Sure)
7. droolingvoyager (Looks Sure)
8. makemytravel (Looking for dates! But, I am pitching Saturday, and looks like Car crisis there, but, I dont think thats a problem..)
9. thedreamcatcher (Autobot bros in arms! Sure! - Mine's a stealth color-Black)
10. shishir_bn(looks Sure)
11. speedy_racer( )

^^ Guys, please quote the list, and update your status to "Sure"
and suggest changes (if any) quick
New guys, add to the list.

Lather rinse and repeat!

care,

Ace.

Totally agree.No point spending just one day when we have a long weekend.

I am game for kodai also.I am game for anything where I can waste my 3 days doing nothing but don't want to stay in bangalore.
DD take charge.
I guess me,shishir and suresh,brandon and others who posted earlier are in by default.
Once DD posts the plan, I guess more people will be able to decide whether they will be able to make it or not.

[Sunrise]

Looks like a great travel plan, wish could join, got family commitments!!

[thedreamcatcher]

I am gung ho for this.

But lets try to make it a day event and would be good to do it on a Friday.So we can get the Saturday and Sunday to rest and do whatever. But yes, if it is a good plan, I am fine

Further, is it a family event?

My Autobot is CT Green

@Inderji...Where are you??

[asdon]

Knock knock!!! I am game too... Just back from Madurai last weekend but there has been a need for a Meet for some time now. Guys lets make it on friday and comming back on sat, and please name a cool place, down south is really hot.

Even I agree for a days event.

Do you think booking rooms at this stage is possible? Most of them are full as its a long weekend.
