Thanks duffyduck!

The gps tracks from nema to timbuktu are in this link:

Some notes on this track:

It’s easy to get a bit lost getting out of small villages, for instance outside Kataouane and Bassikounou.

At km21 there is a checkpoint where the police tells you to go left (East) if you ask the way to Bassikounou: it’s the direct route to Bangou village.

Before Bassikounou the track goes southern than the wp’s (I missed the km194), but it’s a clear piste all the way.

Before Koussana village the piste goes East and you don’t go to Medala, instead you go straight to Fassale Village, where there is a Police and Douane stations.

It’s a very long piste, (4 days on a motorcycle) not difficult but a remote one. You don’t see many people.

Wp:
I didn’t record the tracks that I used. I just uploaded the places where I camped. If you want I can look for them and post it here.

I didn’t check all the time for internet cafes. But there are in most bigger villages. Ndb NKT, Atar, Timbuktu, they all have but in Nema for instance I didn’t find: there was one place but nobody was there at the time.
On main roads (tarmac) as well as at villages there is cell phone coverage.
Water, fruits, bread and can food are available at almost every village. (Maybe it’s a better solution to take katadin micropur tablets with you and use it on tap water instead of buying 1,5L bottled water all the way through your trip.)
