The road to Mali
Our route from Nouakchott to Mali was along a piste which was marked as a 'red' route on the Michelin map - roughly translated by the map cartographers as a main route.  However, the map can never tell a true story - the road did exist... but was just a single piste running alongside the old tar road, which had been washed away a decade ago.

Our average speed for the day was around 15km/h and involved a few low-range gear usage to get over some rocky ground.
