road near atar/oudane (Mauretania)
 

hello out there,
i'm looking for information about
a route in mauritania (near atar)
which is marked on the michelin 953 map.
it leads from oudane around the "guelb"
to El Beyyed Oasis, then to the southwest
back to atar. you see it marked red on
this small map.

is there any route description on the web,
in a book or can anybody tell something
about this road first hand?
(more precise questions coming up)

thank you
+
good luck to everyone

I havent got my copy with me but
MAURITANIE AU GPS, Cyril Ribas et Sylvie Ceallet, Editions Takla Makane, 384pp, 35 euro:
http://www.sahara-overland.com/books/index.htm
will probably mention it, and a whole lot more besides.

Note that my .../mines page mentions:
"... Still in Mauritania, areas east and south of Ouadane are also said to be mined although Route R3 to Guelb is safe but there are said to be mines north of the crater near the El Beyyid well and rock paintings...."

I'm sure Cyril clarifies it...
