Timbuktu for New Years...
 

Whos game for joining me in Timbuktu for New Years and then onwards to the Festival du Desert?!?!

Im in Casablanca at the moment waiting for bike to arrive(22nd of Nov) and will be heading south in a couple weeks on tarmac/piste...Senegal in mid December...

kabala, bamako, mali
 

Currently in NDB, heading into desert tomorrow.

I have heard of a place - Le Cactus in Kabala, Bamako, which could be a good place for Christmas - or just a RV point? Any thoughts?

Hope things going well for you down there. I'm heading south end of this week from Kilkenny. Know nothing of Le Kabala but if recommended... Keep us informed.

Maybe Mopti?
 

Hi Hugh.

Now in Banjul, Gambia. I have heard of a good campsite in Mopti, so there are definitely options.

Hey kk2ct, following you for a while on Irishbikerforum,
will you post and keep us up to date?
Happy New Year

Not going to Festival
 

Hi Hugh,

Decided not to go to the festival after getting to Mali rather early and the costs and hassles associated with attending. I'm now on the coast in Ghana after hooking up with a Dutch biker on an Africa Twin.

Maybe we'll see each other later?
