He poped the bike on a train cos the roads in the north of Sudan were covered in sand? Surely not!
Should be possible to get to CT in 3 months if all goes well, once past Isiolo in Kenya its all tar to CT if you want it to be, The train from Wadi Halfa runs once a week and coincides with the ferry from Aswan so no probs there, you'll miss out one of the best bits but you will need a water bowser to follow you if contemplating Sudan in summer, in December i drank close on 5 litres of water a day and I was still pissing brake fluid, the only muddy bit could be from Moyale to Isiolo. Ethiopia's roads are either tar or rock so should be OK, Egypt is all tar if you want so even the heat will be bearable as it's easy riding. Did that trip 2002/03 if you want specifics mail me. I would say though that it'd be best to think about going in winter, just a suggestion. Chris
