There is a govt. signal station on top and nobody's allowed there. But on the other side there is a huge banyan tree and some ruins on top and a good view of the whole city. The view is better than St.Thomas mount view as this hill is taller.

I particularly liked seeing the GST road, airport runway and the railway line on the same parallels. But sometimes people are not allowed to go on top by the police, esp if some crime had taken place recently.

My last visit to the place was 4-5 years back, so don't know the status now.

Regarding the dates, I am game for April 5-6.

I think we should look at benz park as they have a big projector- and at 445 there might not be issues with the parking- because i wonder who else will be there at that time? (also - the chicken tikkas are very nice there! :) )

The private bar in RK salai is not available for this weekend :( Also, I'm told they dont allow stags

Residency is better than Benz Park IMO and has better ambience!

Guys,

Posting the POA again, so it can be confirmed and it is easily accessible :)

1. 2.00 PM. Rendezvous at Woodlands, chitter chatter
2. 4.00 PM Get to Residency/Benz Park (not yet confirmed) for the F1
3. 7.00 PM Drive to St. Thomas Mount (maybe some off-roading ? ).

Have a great meet !!! and as usual, take a lot of pics.

exactly the reason why i re-posted the POA :) : there have been many changes on the way, and everyone is not clear on the agenda .

Hope it helps.

While I like the morning drive idea (almost nil traffic), can't make it this Sunday morning, due to something else planned long ago.

How about meeting at WDI @ 2PM, drive out to St.Thomas Mount, spend some time, drive to the hotel, watch F1 ? That way you get both the drive and the F1 and it would take only a half day (family guys might not be able to get permission for a full day out with the guys).:)

P.S. : St. Thomas Mt. is open all day.
