It was another off the road weekend, this time some friends joined together to explore the TADA aka Ubbalamadugu (Remember my TADA stunt post) little deeper than the last visit which happened to be solo offroading.
The trip turned out as good as a picnic as families joined for the off road event. One of the families brought us delicious food for the lunch.
We had enough water crossing and steep incline and decline route on boulders this time; the vehicles ranged from Mahindra CJ340 to Toyota Land Cruiser.
In one of the streams, I had to really go parallel with the CJ340, oooh! I wish I had removed my soft top and gone open.
While we were resting after couple of obstacles, I found a giant sized butterfly sitting just next to me.
I wanted him to flip his colorful wings, but no help even after long waiting.
In another steep incline I got to go really slow, however the engine breaking idea of Diesel engine helped me a lot.
Most of the day's activities were around many water bodies in the forest ; hence lots of water crossing.
For me it was not so difficult, as I did my exploration to an extent in my last visit at the same spot.
While returning we were traveling through a green paddy fields.It was a great experience driving in the middle of paddy fields. One of the Gypsys was running out of coolant and the engine stopped at one stage . We had to do little cooling treatment before we could start the vehicle. The picture below was taken while we were fixing the engine temperature issue.
Given a chance, I wish to award the man of the day title to Vivek who co-ordinated with all of us and did a great Jeeping today with the CJ340 he drove.
Anyway it was gala time today as we all got our hands put on the rugged toys.
