Ratte, I am with Whisky here. Some years ago I bought my wife an air ticket to Dakar and planned to ride overland to meet her there following the Dakar Rally. This was the rally that was cancelled because the four French tourists were killed. By the time this news came out my bike was in southern Spain and I was flying out to meet it.
What to do? I thought about it and came to the conclusion that if the Mauritanian authorities couldn't keep the only main road in the country free to travel, they might as well all resign. So I went. And there were no problems.
What happens in Algeria is a long way from the coastal areas of Mauritania.
Some photos: S10 Carry on Dakar!
