Guruduth was off to Hulkadike with the participants and we bundled everything into transport and rushed to Hulkadike. Basavaraju who got injured and could not continue the trek came with us and was given Partcipation Certificate at Kollur Bus Stand itself. We had some difficulty getting to Kollur from Megani. And just managed to reach Hullkadike only 15 minutes before the participants arrived. 1000x480 37.jpg |

Thats Jagadish and following him is his buddy Ravi. Jagadish and his friends carry a plastic bag and collect whatever plastic or oter wastes on the way. Thats what he accumulated during the day in that blue plastic bag. In the second pic one of us Rajesh Nayak, leads the participant Mohan Rao across the final line at Hulkadike. To be honest, none of us (the organisers), believed that Mr.Rao would last the duration. But he did. Great effort from him. And in the last pic thats Ayush, all of 6 years old, and again he like Mr.Rao proved us wrong and managed to cling on to his dad and finished the trek in style. 2500x626 39.jpg |
