Chad, March 2013

On Sahara Overland News

About the Chad report (very good one) it's written:

"Together with four friends, I recently completed a four-week tour in Chad. One car came from Belgium via the Atlantic Route and then through West Africa....."

I'm very interested about how and when they crossed West africa (which countries,borders,timing,....)

So please tell me, to whom I have to ask these questions.

RR.

Hi Robert, you are right, a great report with the sort of detail we like.

I sent you his email. I don't know if AB is on this forum or wants an email link from his report.

Pics now added.

Hi,

Not sure if you've seen this video report by the Belgians. It's well made, and fun to watch.
The Chad part starts at around 26.40 min.

Travel safe,

Membership - help keep us going!

Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love. To keep it going and a roof over our heads, we run events all over the world with the help of volunteers; we sell inspirational and informative DVDs; we have a few selected advertisers; and we make a small amount from memberships.

You don't have to be a Member to come to an HU meeting, access the website, or ask questions on the HUBB. What you get for your membership contribution is our sincere gratitude, good karma and knowing that you're helping to keep the motorcycle travel dream alive. Contributing Members and Gold Members do get additional features on the HUBB. Here's a list of all the Member benefits on the HUBB.
