The D R I V E will be from Cochin to wayanad. The Swift will be able to do that. I'll be in one myself, most probably. Offroading happens once we're in Wayanad.

Guys- I say most probably because, there is a function at my in-law's place on the 7th, and that is usually given Code Red priority by my boss

Negotiations are on...sigh!

If my Junkindica can go then any vehicle manufactured in India can surely go including the Luna moped. For the slushy part I believe we will be hiring 4 wheel drive jeeps for those who are interested.

With the new meet-rules making alcohol a taboo, we shall miss some exciting/compromising pictures , but a meet is a meet and it's gonna be great anyway.

didn't see this thread before, will confirm after the birth of my second one... due anytime this week, so you'll hear from me in a while. Till then,
Cheers!

KNOCK KNOCK!!!

It will soon be the 1st week of February - please share the plans so far, ripper and gang!

We need to get this spot-on.

MaserQ · 7th January 2009, 14:55

About time too!! Roll call time then. The dates as decided are 7th and 8th of February. Please indicate if you are:

1) confirmed/most likely/unlikely

and if so,

2) the number of people accompanying you.

3) where you would be travelling from.

Since some members are bringing along their families, we shall have to look for suitable accommodation as well.

As for the off-road bit, there are a few members in this forum who reside in that area. I am in touch with them to come up with a few options. Suggestions are most welcome from all.

As most members would be regular 4x2 on-road practitioners, advice and suggestions from the t-bhp 4x4 crew would be much appreciated!

I have not been able to figure out any jeep_thrills members in that area. So let's assume that no one's there.

For off-road purpose, I will bring in the hi-lift jack + two rope along. Also, Sreeraj has one more two rope.

Steeroid · 7th January 2009, 17:35

1) Confirmed.

2) Most likely alone or with dog. Will confirm any change in this status.

3) Cochin/Palghat/Shoranur.

sreerajunnithan · 7th January 2009, 19:26

Confirmed, me+1 or 2. Coming from Bangalore Via Mysore->Gundelpet->SBY. Have some local contacts in Kalpetta, will try to call them.

There you go! how can a "D R I V E" be complete without a caption? Lets name this "Wild in Wayanad" hope you don't mind me removing the spaces. It's a pain to type...

I am in most likely, but with my recent track record, I am not in 100% till I am on my car driving towards the destination.

kutlee · 9th January 2009, 15:13

I may mostly be out. Our maid announce change in holiday plan to march first week (she stays with us so can't ditch her). what a shame!! I seriously wish i could join.
Is there a drive to wayanad in march?
