Travelling along the
imaginary GPS line we searched for a piste heading in the direction we
wanted to go - which was directly to the coast bypassing all the local
towns. Mauritania only has 3 tar roads and the longest train in the
world so travelling is all done on pistes.
Luca & Sameena - very
experienced desert explorers and TV documentary makers gave us a helping
hand with the art of desert and dune driving. I did not
always make it to the top of each dune and so once had to dig a little and
ask for a push from the rest of the group. By the way (btw) for the
Landy enthusiasts the tyres are still set to normal road pressure because the
terrain has been very rocky around the dunes. We have a long way to go so
do not want to shred a tyre on any rocks.
