3-week Atlantic Route One Wayer
Just kicking an idea about in my head right now.
How comfortable would three weeks London to Dakkar be? A riding marathon or reasonably comfortable? Basically with three weeks leave what would be a sensible trip down the Atlantic route?
How would I get on trying to sell a bike in Dakkar (or elsewhere)? I might find a cheap used bike in the UK and take that. I've read a lot here previously about bringing old cars to sell and wondered how it normally works for bikes. I'm not looking to make money and am happy to take a small loss but at least recover some of the cost. Are there any paperwork hassles associated with this.
Now onto paperwork. Is this trip going to need a carnet? There seems to be some debate about Mauritania and the age of the vehicle.
Is there any real preparation needed for this trip? Can I just get on the bike and go (obviously stopping for visas en route)?
Thanks in advance for any specifics you can offer!
Matt
