Nguigmi to Bilma
Any bikers who did this route from south up to north without 4x4, i.e. carrying all the fuel water and baggage on their bikes?
I heard different opinions about which direction is easier (N - S or S - N?). From the theory, the wind should be from north-east to south-west. Therefore the "northern" dune slopes should be more firm then the southern ones. And therefore driving from Bilma to Nguigmi should be easier. Is that true?
The real difficult part of that route is between Zoo Baba and Dibella. What about the part from Nguigmi to Dibella? Is the sand there also very soft so that an higher consumption has to be taken into consideration already regarding this easier part?
Thank you very much for your answers!
Kind Regards, Bernhard
