Nouadhibou-Atar-Nouakchott (please check my particulars...)
Hi there, I'm trying to piece together info on water stops and sandy sections using the Sahara Overland R2 update and a Michelin Map.
Would you mind looking over this? (Distances are obviously approx.)
Nouadhibou-Atar:
Water:-
59km: Bou Lanouar
121km: "Small village by tracks"
230km: Aghoueyyit Salee (water hole marked on Michelin map - saline?)
255km: Inal
300km: Tmeimichat
360km: Ben Amira village
440km: 'Aggui
500km: Azougui
520km: Atar
Sand sections:-
15km-49km: sandy
175-?km: "progressively sandier towards next waypoint"
260km-320km: dunes
Piste through Ben Amir village: "very sandy"
394km-400km: dunes
494km-Azogui village: "sandy area"
What is the condition of the piste on the rest of the route?
I think I am right in saying you can travel along the railway tracks if it gets too sandy; does anyone have any waypoints at which it is good to get onto the tracks?
Atar-Nouakchott:
Water:-
40km: Ain Attaya
180km: Akjoujt
300km: Bou Rjeimat (marked as water hole on Michelin)
310km: Al Asma
436km: Nouakchott
Are there any other settlements along this route?
Road:-
Is this route sealed? If not, what is the condition of the piste?
Many thanks indeed,
PP.
