It looks that Plymouth-Dakar run whiteout problems in the area!

And the Budapest-Bamako event.

Makes you think and it shows what can be done when you ditch the traditional organisers with the associated big budgets, TV rights, advertising and sponsorship.

Small is beautiful?

Where did this rumour come from?

I'm monitoring the Plymouth-Dakar field reports site. Someone talks about mission aborted due to Mauri problems, but doesn't explain, or let us know where they are. From their previous reports they may not be anywhere near the border yet.

Another team left the Dakhla Peninsular at 09.03 local time heading for the Maui border, no update from them yet, but if they couldn't get through and had to drive back, I suppose they may post an update from Dakhla any time from about now onwards (18.14 GMT).

I await with bated breath!...

where this rumour came from?

from latvian travelers in Dakhla, but now they are in NDB so rumours canceled!
