GPS coordinates Borj Mokhtar to Gao
I have some randomly chosen coordinates. I had the GPS on the hole time and went with guide, but I did not bother to take notes, so the coordinates are not necessarily at road splittings and it is the route our guide took us, not necessarily the straightest way.... (We happened to pass by some of his relatives on the way). The piste was easy and could be done without coordinates I think but anyway if someone wants them here they are.
