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. |
