Sahara Oct/Nov 2011

Hi Tomasz,

Me and a friend are planning on being down that part of the world around the same time, although doing a straight run from Morocco to Ghana via Mauri, Senegal, Mali and BF, probably passing N/S through Mauritania. We'll be in a 4x4 with not a lot of space but happy to drive in convoy. Would be good to discuss routes, dangers etc at some point. It's a drive I've done several times over the past few years.
Cheers,

Tom

Mauri

Hi Tom,

our route in Mauri: Nouadhibou>Choum>Atar>Passe d’Amogjar>Ouadane>Chinguetti>Atar>Tidjikja. If you drive along with us we may try to do Atar> Tidjikja together.

Anyway, we will be glad if you join us at any section of the route.
We should be in Tangier on 17.X at 3 p.m.

Cheers

Tomek

Hi Tomek and Tom. I'm also planing going into this part at same time. Traveling alone with BMW R-1200gsA. After Atar my plane is going south to Nouakchott, Senegal, Guinea Bissau, north to Gambia and on end to Dakar. I'm very interested can I join on route in Mauri: Nouadhibou>Choum>Atar>Passe d’Amogjar>Ouadane>Chinguetti>Atar. I have some previous Africa expirience from 2009 Namibia 3500km gravel ride. Not riding on deep sand more than 5km yet. Please any answer on my eMail: tzt@t-2.net

Regards, Tomaz

Membership - help keep us going!

Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love. To keep it going and a roof over our heads, we run events all over the world with the help of volunteers; we sell inspirational and informative DVDs; we have a few selected advertisers; and we make a small amount from memberships.

You don't have to be a Member to come to an HU meeting, access the website, or ask questions on the HUBB. What you get for your membership contribution is our sincere gratitude, good karma and knowing that you're helping to keep the motorcycle travel dream alive. Contributing Members and Gold Members do get additional features on the HUBB. Here's a list of all the Member benefits on the HUBB.
