Jose,
Thanks again for an excellent Mauritanian post.
A couple of quick questions if I may:
1. You mention that there are now police checkpoints on some of the pistes. Are these just on the typical Adrar pistes around Atar & Chinguetti, or did you find these on the more remote pistes as well?
2. You also mention that TIPs are now only valid for 7 days. Was this actively checked by police at checkpoints or are they just interested in passports & destination details? Based on previous trips several years ago, I have never had the TIP checked and am considering whether it would be warranted to detour via Nouakchott to have it extended, or whether to take the risk.
regards
Matt Roach
