              Here are a few pics..

              Please bear with me for some of the pic's low quality. its due to downsampling..or maybe I did it wrong

              No pics on day one. Got up next day and went around the hills..










              Path leading to the pond where the deers were supposed to be spotted. Waited in the path for 30 mins but couldnt spot one deer..


              Had nothing much to shoot except my bike


              Then came along Uncle Amit


              And tried to do some cornering




              Next was Srini..






              Smiley pose


              Then we went to the view point












              Tried some handheld HDRs.




              One group shot..am still cursing myself at not taking more group shots . I thought of taking more of the return leg and the rain spoiled it!!


              Jumbo..thats what the owner called him..



              A Bullet group from Bangalore


              18-55 macro at the pool


              And the return leg started




              Stuck in rain somewhere near Palamaner




              Thats it..Full picture set here Picasa Web Albums - Tarun - Horseley Hill...

                        Awesome report and pics. Thanks for this, for I am going to visit this place tomorrow (hope it doesnt rain).

                        Anyone from Chennai / TN want to rendezvous at the hills? I will be riding with Ark. Two ninja's all the way.

                          Are you going to take Krishnagiri-Vellore-Chittoor-Madanapalle route or a different one?

                          Awareness + Skill is what keeps you out of harm's way

                            Would love to take the above route but then its a long detour and i'll return home very late and the wife will then kill me.

                            We plan to take the hoskote route. I was hoping someone would be riding to HH tomorrow from Chennai or surrounding cities so I could meet them at the hills.

                              @All Thanks guys . Had fun writing the logs.
                              I just wonder who the hell 'Suku' is. The bugger seems to have put his name everywhere in the hills!

                              @aditya:
                              Have a safe ride. The two baby ninjas will love the bends. Also try to take them over the rocks. The C500 did it even with its low clearance. And of course, share the logs
