Hi,

Thanks

"The route mentioned on the Sahara Overland site [pdf] from the railway to Nouadhibou is incorrect. Instead of following the right-hand side of the tracks, cross them and take the main piste to Nouadhibou"

Yes, this does not sound right to me and I was there years ago. I'll get the Plymouth Dakar to update the pdf over Xmas (assuming they go the easy way).

Hi
After clearing IRM customs and police, take the left track beyond the post, this leads to railway,cross the tracks and follow to nouadhibou leaving the rails on your right side.In last years Plymouth Dakar we didnt and finished up on the old Piste Hispanol, it took us ages and a lot of digging, especialy at the old Berm.However we did have the dubious pleasure of seeing the blown up gaz delivery van (as mentioned in lonely planet)

Regards

Dave

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.
