Well, 6 bikes and one 4x4 set off from Wadi on this track...
Its a lot sandier than many expected. Everyone crashed in the first 5km and then Kim had a really bad crash and broke her wrist and smashed up the bike..
Sand road cancelled and straight back into wadi for medical treatment and bike repairs... NIGHTMARE !!!!
We had to put the bike on a truck and take the dongola road to meet the truck to Khartoum. NIGHTMARE
Two of the guys carried on and made it to Abu Hamed in two days. I was gutted to only ride 20 miles of it as it was fun with my DRZ but i have to admit if was terrible in places.
Since the Dongola road has been tarmaced, the rainway road is really turning back into desert. No one uses it now.
To be ridden with caution it seems
