We were able to follow feint traces of previous vehicles heading in our direction - these tracks soon diminished and we were left to our own devices to carve out our own piste. Our Landy's (& truck) had to work hard in the sticky coastal mud.
Upon checking our position, ZZ2 turned out to be incorrectly marked on the digital Russian maps - which were loaded on the computer and connected to the GPS. It is now a standing joke that when something is not quite right ... it is 'Zee Zee 2' :-) We were rewarded that night to a lovely campsite on the beach, where we had visitors of 4 desert jackals.

spectacular dunes, stunning sunsets, vast array of stars ... and much
tranquillity!
