Berliet No 22
I don't have my Michelins or even Chris' book here, but does someone have or know where on the internet can be found maps or, better, coordinates for the Berliet balises?
I searched the site and saw that Yves Rohmer planned a trip to restore some of them years ago - did he get around to it? Here's no 22 from May 2009 :) https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/uU...360-h768-rw-no |
I have this crude drawing but surely there must be a map of the Niger Balise line somewhere?
Perhaps with coordinates? https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/91...9=w550-h654-no |

Can't see your pictures but Yves’ site puts it 6km west of Tiska.
More from Yves here BALISE 22 N 23° 59.281’ E 9° 42.810’ General map here http://www.fondationberliet.org/wp-c...sion-Tchad.pdf Better fold-out maps in the 1962 book of the 2 missions? Maybe it's the map below, but not all balises are shown. Looks like 22 was the last one on the way back. An epic circuit assisted by helicopter navigation!

By a strange coincidence, I was just talking to Yves yesterday as I'm building a satnav database on this area! funny old world.

Yes dear Yves Rohmer was quite surprised to have the same question from two people in one day. :)
"La simultanéité de vos messages était imprévue et amusante car peu de gens s'intéressent au Ténéré et aux Balises Berliet. Pour ma part, cela fait longtemps que je m'y intéresse." Here are the links he supplied: SAHARAS SAHARAS http://saharayro.free.fr/tele/rahla%20berliet.swf SAHARAS SAHARAS Bilma 1967 : Berliet GLR et Renault R4 Here are the balises with maps and coordinates¨ SAHARAS Now we have a good thread for the Balises Berliet.
