sisya ninnenadru manager madadre color color excel sheet kotte magne ella team membersna saisbidthiya... anyway whay the hell am I in the tentative list... i don't like it...

and regarding the sleeping arrangements, i think we cannot carry the sleeping bags to the top, and even if we do dare to carry them, in that case the rain gods should spare us for the entire trek, which is highly unlikely given our previous experiences. Hence me and Rakesh were suggesting we should carry the sleeping mats which are way useful and are way useful up there...

also there seems to be some kinda problem with the vehicle, mind you that we are not getting the vehicle from our usual guy since he got married yesterday and he needs his vehicle for himself. So now the other guy from whom we are getting the vehicle, well he's not from Karnataka, this bugger can't speak Kannada, also has a lot of terms & conditions. He's yet to confirm about different pick up points, he wants us all to get into the vehicle at one place - a common pick up point, i have spoken to him about this but no confirmations yet... So anyone who can arrange for a swaraj mazda are welcome to do that...

Maga actually,only this type of chamaks work out in a industry...its trusted & proven,personal experience...top management needs only color color sheets.   Well, get the sleeping mats only ( i meant the same ), ur the expert in this area,but need a count right,so only for tracking i made the all purpose XL sheet.   Will check out for Vehicle & let u know....& last but not the least,in a simple sense u could have told that u comin instead a big,complicated mail...keep things simple yaar,it looks like the Paramathama effect on u !!!!   yours, Ab. --- On Thu, 10/13/11, Sudhindra M S <ms.s...@gmail.com> wrote:

Hi,

Plz find attached updated excel .

As u can see in the file one of my friend (Vijay) is working in UK shift (Work till 10.30) in torry harris. So if we are leaving around 11.30 his pickup point would be Vidyapeeta circle or else it would be near his office (Millers road) so decide on this.

Also decide the itinerary quickly so that we would get to know what we are supposed to carry and in what quantities.

[Pavan GV]

14 ppl confirmed and 2 are tentative as of now

Hey All,


So it's all set for Trek,

• I have ordered for 14 sleeping Mats(Except Sudhi every one needs it) 3 leach socks (SAP.Shruthi + 2 more)
• There is only one room available , where we need to stay all 15,Some might need to stay out side the room, at night Temp might drop up to 4°,get the necessary clothing  to save u r self from cold.
  

• Last time we experienced lots n lots of leaches (It was June hoping now It wont be that much) anyway get salt,tobacco , calcium carbonate CaCO3(Sunna/chunnam).
  

• plate
• Tumbler 

• Snacks

• Torch

Pick Up Points :

Vidyapeeta circle - 10.45 PM (Amar ,Pavan +3)
Seetha Circle - 11.00 PM  (Me and Sudhi)
DGBunk - 11.10 PM (Abhi , Srinidhi)
Adigas  - 11.15 PM (Sanjeev)
BTM  - 11.20 PM (Raghu,Shruthi,sanju)
ECO Space - 11.30 PM (vatsa)
Innovative Multiplex - 11.40 PM (Sap Shruthi)

Schedule varies depending on the weather  If its raining heavily they wont allow us to Brahma giri ,
First day Saturday : Reach base camp by 1 PM ,
have lunch go to Munikal Caves,
Second Day If weather  permits Brahma Giri or Nari Malai as usual :(
If we reach back to irpu falls early we can visit Nagara Hole :)

Pavan +3 : - Route via nagara hole not sure whether vehicles are allowed after 10PM ,
If its allowed we have no issues going in that route (I am sure none of us cares for extra 10-20 Km's), Lets enquire about this on the way.

[Raghu Nandan]

Hi All, They wont allow up until 6 rakesh, but I think at this rate we will reach there only by then or maybe after 5 surely, so i strongly recommend we do that route.  Second is on the snacks, get lots of ur own stuff, dont dig into mine :D.  Chocolate bar and nutribars are good things to have. Regards, R
