Mountains, deserts or beaches ?

Fantastic pictures - lovely light there, seem to sum up it up in one gallery - intrepid explorers

Great stuff!

Are those dunes down the 'Erg Chebbi' way?

Ahh Mr ambassador with these treats you are really spoiling us.

Tidy.

Fantastic Picture Russel. You should do a calendar.

Just out of curiosity how much does one budget for an adventure like this (excluding the kings ransom you spent on the Syncro)?

Can you give us a break down?

Was it as easy as you made it look?
Have you done this kind of thing much before?
Any scary moments, knife wielding bandits or anything?

Brilliant I reckon, well done.

I'd say, most expensive items were:

1) Ferries
2) Fuel
3) Food

So, to budget, figure out our ferries, work out the mileage then allow, say between £2-£20 for food each day, depending upon how you eat etc. Other additional costs are Insurance and bribes for policemen...

Did we make it look easy? I think it was a real mixed bag, there were some hard bits. Stressful bits, a few fraid tempers (from everyone). We all slept with some kind of weapon close to hand overnight (Small Axe is good as it is small enough to swing in a van). Definately feels alot safer parking up and travelling in a group, especially 3+ as you can arrange yourselves overnight.

I'd say, thinking back, that there weren't really any scary moments, i.e. fear of attack etc. There were a couple of places where we felt unsafe, so rather than risk it, we moved on. Most of just seemed to be that age old common sense, I'm sure Russel or Andrew will comment further.

p.s. If you ply Russel with Guinness at Coney farm and I'm sure he'll bore you senseless

we toured morocco in a vw t2 [1972 1600cc tin top devon] went practicaly everywhere[3 months] camped wild when it suited us,did'nt feel unsafe at all[went in05] very beautifull country going again in september and on in
to the rest of africa,did have 2 puntures otherwise no problems
