I won't be able to make it as I have some function on 10th.
Hope you guys have a blast and do post pics and reports.

By the way, has anyone been to the BlackBuck resort near Bidar. Is it good to spend a weekend there with family? How is the overall experience?

Yes. It never struck me to add the poll in the past. Let's do it for all official and big meets from next time onwards for sure.

The participation seems to be coming in spurts and bursts. What happened to regulars...dont you guys want to do a drive?

Aaah, never underestimate the powers of a God err, Mod. They get FMSCI to postpone Nat'l championship events just so that the head count can be bumped up!

Not that dhaba again. Besides, the food there was just about average and some folks had complaint of stomach aches next day.

This time "Sher-e-Punjab" which someone else recommended. I assume you IN

Yeah Sabby hop in with me!

[lucifer1881]

I might actually bring the M800 this time. She does not get to stretch her legs too often on the open road. What say Ani? M800 vs. Nano drag race?

Guys, this time lets stick to the time and maximum by 8:30am we should be on the move. That ways we will have enough time to spend on photoshoots, take in the visuals etc....Otherwise, our drives have always been a rush to the lunch table

Can someone please post a clear cut route from Pakwaan to Medak Church? How many kms on the Nagpur highway and where to take the diversion and how many kms after taking the diversion etc.

If the road condition is bad after the diversion. I am going to get the White Angel instead of the annhilator.

What happened to other regulars? Downsouth, Rajesh Rawal, Neel, Venu etc......

[RoadTiger]

From Pakwan to Medak Church
- About 80 kms on the Nagpur highway to Ramyampet .... its a wonderful highway
- About 25 kms from there to Medak Church ... the road is perfectly fine, no potholes except that it is seriously single lane - which means stop/ get off the road in case there is a larger vehicle coming from the other side. Not much traffic though - no reason not to take your preferred vehicle !

Medak church is nice and peaceful - but not much to do beyond spending 30-40 mins admiring the church, stained glass, praying ... Oh btw, this would be sunday - so, may be pretty crowded !

My +1 may also come - but, seems there are hardly any other +1s on the trip !

Same place where we assembled last time ??

Attaching the Gmap route here. It says 87kms from Pakwaan !!


BTW, considering the present Telangana crisis, would it be ok ??

Excellent info. Looking forward to having you on the drive. Dont worry by the time comes in many will come with +1

Yup. Same place. Nothing to worry about T-Crisis, its likely to fade in a couple of days and may restart after our drive is completed ( hopefully...)
