I have always been confused with the spelling of Annamalai and or Annamallai etc as seen in the signboards. Like Koyamuttur, Coimbatore, etc. Heard a lot about it as a picnic site. Being a CBEan, yet to see the sights near and about, except Isha Yoga Centre and Marudamalai and Tamara Resort. Can you post some pics?<br /><br />Missed the solving due to lack of Acrosslite. Is it possible o load it evn now? I am now doing cold solving , flitting between the grid created by me and the clues.
