Western Sahara - MW6
I am interested in doing is MW6 and have plotted the waypoints from MK Overland. Towards the end there is a big jump in the waypoints between KM281 and KM369 but the route can be made out by following Olaf. However according to the data on Ulrichs's posting on landmines - www.desert-info.ch :: Thema anzeigen - Minen/Landmines/Des Mines - alle/all/toutes infos - it would appear that the route cuts through a minefield (entering at N26 56 04.3 W11 39 07.7 and exiting at N26 52 18.7 W11 41 16.5). There are several other tracks going through the minefield as can be seen on Google Earth. Does anyone have any information / experience on this part of the piste? And maybe some reliable gps tracks or waypoints that they followed?
The Landmine Action web site shows the mine fields along the berm between WS and Maur/Alg but does not show this mine field or other small ones within WS. http://www.landmineaction.org/resour.../5kmBuffer.kml
MK Overland makes reference to a tarmac road between Hawza and Smara. Is there any info about this? I cannot make out a tarmac road on Google Earth in this area.
