Brave or Bonkers??
As fast as I can plan a trip....so the Foreign Office warnings against travel fall thick and fast........Syria and round to Libya seemed a good idea once...
I have lots of experience of the kind of trip once can do in 2 or 3 weeks holiday....Morocco...Poland...Croatia etc...Now...recently liberated from the world of full time work and wanting a "Big Trip" before decay sets in(further!) I am looking at the Atlantic route from Morocco via Mauritania and Mali and hoping to reach Burkina Faso or even Benin over the coming winter.....Bike and gear and personal fitness etc all sorted.....but...warnings of kidnappings and beheadings can take the edge of of ones eager anticipation! I guess many folks on here tend to just bat on anyway...but I'd appreciate comments/suggestions/thoughts on how viable this trip is.....especially as a "return" journey...ie same way back. Plus...I believe travelling when the FCO say "don't" invalidates any personal medical/accident insurance..? I'm coming to the net HU weekend at Compton Martin and hope to pick as many brains as are available....but love to read any comments here first...!
Thanks in advance
