Wow, Günther, very nice, congratulations for this!

When Florence reads this he will surely be delighted to see that his researches bear some fruits!
The fact that he didn't respond yet is probably that he is again somewhere out of reach, exploring pristine desert.

It's been a while since anyone mentioned Pelican 16...... I and my good mate mossproof recently spent some time in Mauri exploring. One of the points of interest involved a slight detour into Polisario held Western Sahara......








I'd have loved to have spent a night there but it very difficult to evaluate the risk, so we spent about an hour crawling all over it taking pics and then retreated back across the border. One of the military check point commanders near Ben Amiera was very positive, apart from him everyone else including the guide at Bab Sahara thought it was madness. In the end we found the area very quiet and the border is best described as porous....

I'd like to thank Florence for the inspiration for this part of the trip!

Nick

Florence is blocked...

I got information from Florence that he's blocked from the forum since he renamed to "Shalom Alejkum"



Anyway: This was one of the most amazing trips I ever did!!! Many thanks again to Florene for inspiring me to do this trip and for getting the waypoints!!!

After crossing Africa in 2014, I'm now travelling for more than 3 years in South-America (stage by stage). Actually the car is parked in Cayenne (French-Guyana). In December I'm suppost going to Panama and probably Mexico. The goal is to reach Alaska in 2021. And then....

... back to Mauretania and SAHARA LIBRE!!!!!!!

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.
