Execution

 

Drive turned out to be much more fun than expected.


Weather was super good. It was cloudy throughout the drive while cool breeze added to the scene made it much more refreshing.


It was great meeting Seshendra for the first time and other India-Drive members, who never fall short of enthusiasm.

 

It is always fun to discuss about travel and cars with like minded enthusiasts.


After a few dropouts, Six cars in total have made it to the drive as we explored places around the Singur dam.

 

Thank you guys for making the drive so eventful.

 

Waiting for the pictures from fellow members.

We spent a while at the place and drove towards the circular well

We reached Singur dam in no time

Instead of driving towards the dam, we took a detour to explore this beautiful place

You can find some of us climbing the rocks (PC: Akhil)

When road trip enthusiasts meet, What do they discuss? Profound discussion about travel and cars!

Selfie time!

We spent around 1 hour on this small land surrounded by water.

Some of our members found some ruined temples from the rock aisle

We started taking an unknown trail, which may have lead us to the temple area

Soon the trail became tough for low GC vehicles, Duster went ahead to recce the trail

Vinith and Ashwin went in search of the path, but got back with bad news as there was no proper path ahead

We sat on the steps, contemplating whether to go on a speed ride or not. We decided to avoid it as we felt there was lack of proper safety equipment

Our next stop-over, Singur bridge

This exploration drive was really amazing. Place was very peaceful and beautiful.

 

Had so much fun with the India-Drive folks today.

 

Found few dried crab legs here and there?. 

Size of them is still a mystery to me.

 

 

Due to my never ending storage issues, I couldn't capture much apart from the below HDR.

nice meeting everyone, had a great day

Nice shots , Akhil.

Pictures definitely came out good, but we had tough time with connectivity issues(YI action cam).

 

I will sit on it tomorrow, may be some firmware update or a reset should help.

 

Will update you, if I find anything.

How are you guys taking photos?

Do you guys have a drone?

No,

It is just an action camera, attached to a selfie stick.
