Some maps often show 'hopeful representations' of what each country would like to have!
From Nioro du Sahel, it's tarmac since January 2008 - there were just a couple of Km's of track as they were finishing off laying the new road.
Road toll now also to pay! (Grrrrr!!) I preferred the corrugations on that piste! ah well it's progress (allegedly!) sadly by-passing some beautiful villages....
Avoid getting stuck behind a truck belching black diesel clouds on the (full of speed bumps) approach to Bamako - You'll be glad you did!
1st tip: Google Earth is not 'real time'
2nd tip: Carry a strong tow strap - you never know -
p.m me if you need more info
