western Sahara/Mauri border
Hi I followed the 06 Dakar and for the sand/stone crossing I just followed everyone else, make sure they ARE heading into Mauri as on the way back I followed a Merc van and thought he was taking a strange route only to realise he was going to a remote settlement! Lucky for me he dropped off some supplies and headed back into Western Sahara with me following. Warning take the Diamma 100km off road (easy route) into Senegal AVOID ROSSO at all costs, I was warned but an Harley riding companion would not ride offroad..... he did I later find out take Diamma for the return!! The Nouad/Nouak road in 06 was 'perfect' although caution had to be taken on a bike as sand had often been blown across the road and was between 6 and 18 inches deep and stretched often between 5 and 30 yards...not pleasant to hit at speed
