Trans Sahara Road
Here's an article I just happened across on the BBC News site: http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/africa/2161077.stm Apparently work has started, whatever that means. Having driven both the major routes from Nouadhibou to Nouakchott it's interesting that the cost is estimated at $70 mio, not including the drive-though McDonalds at the Guerguerat http://www.horizonsunlimited.com/ubb/smile.gif While I understand the economic benefits this road may bring, I also a bit sad and feel it'll take something away from the crossing. Still, there's still the Libyan and Algerian routes and of course there's the Darien Gap! Nick. ------------------ www.nickt.com 96 BMW F650 96 Defender 90 300TDi 97 NAS D90 98 Camel Trophy 110 |
