Golconda Fort Rocked!

We held a Pk-Day in Hyderabad this Sunday the 8th at the iconic Golconda Fort, and I'm happy to say that the jam absolutely rocked! Literally!

I happenned to be in Hyderabad this weekend and met up with all the guys from Teams Secret Fury, Demise Forfeiters, half of Team Karma, and Kage from Chennai and Smaran from Vizag for a truly kickass jam at the fort. Team LASS were missing in action that day though.

The ruins of the limestone fort itself are an awesome place to practice parkour, and contain obstacles ranging from easy and basic to extremely advanced with many multi-leveled walls and dilapidated parapets perfect for practicing cat-leaps and wallruns, a type of obstacle that is a rarity in Indian Parkour hotspots. So all in all, the location is perfect. Also, it seems to have a very low heat level, although you are sure to gather a crowd pretty soon comprising of tourists who probably think the fort is putting up a show for their benefit.

The day started out overcast, and looked like it might rain, although it didn't, and we were thankful for both counts, since overcast meant no harsh sun bearing down on us and cutting short our practice, and luckily it didn't rain until well after we were done with the jam and everyone was on their way home.

I wish to thank all the traceurs who attended again for coming to the jam and making it a memorable event. Hope this paves the way for more such Indian traceur gatherings in the future. Pictures and videos coming soon. Keep an eye out on this section.
