Atar-Tidjikja is a nice route and not too difficult (I did it alone and did not get stuck, it was in late 2005). Allow 2-3 days for this route (about 400 km). Most difficult for me was finding the start of the piste in Atar side, after that it was just following it. Note that Sahara Overland book route R10 waypoint coordinates have some serious typing errors (p.483 - Route R10 - The waypoints from KM32 to KM202 should all read W12 (not W11, as written))
You can see some pics from the route at my web site. If there is interest I can upload my GPS track for this route.
