Advice on Egypt to Ethiopia route
Hi Everyone,
So after a long while paying off my last trip, I am once again getting itchy feet for another one, however this time I am toying with the idea of doing it on a bicycle. (I got fat sitting on a motorbike for all that time)
Anyway, the plan, in its early stages are to cycle to Ethiopia from the UK, the route is all fine upto Egypt, where Im unsure about the road condition and more importantly security for a lone taveller who cant accelerate away from trouble quite as fast on a bicycle as on my KLR650 (although granted it was quite slow!)
The rough route I was planing from WadiHalfa to Addis-Abeba was the main road to Khartoum and from there to take the route to Al Qadarif, Doka (highway 21) then cross the border to Ethiopa on that route taking the road to Gondar and on to Addis-Abeba. I suppose my main question is about the condition on the section of road, and the security situation in the area. It may be fine and a well travelled route, or totally the opposite, but i couldnt find any posts on it.
Hope someone can offer some advise. Many thanks
