I'm preparing LR 110 for trans-Africa trip, departing UK mid-December. There'll be 3 of us on board (all girls) and are looking to start in Morocco, heading into Mauritania, Mali, Chad, Niger, Libya (all depending on politics, famine, etc), then into Egypt (carnet costs depending) and down East side of Africa. A 10 month trip planned to get home to Cape Town, where I'm from.

Dave, you say you're looking for a mixed crew, but we'll be pretty prepared by then and are looking to join others along the way if itineraries suit. We don't have any fixed schedule and the 10 month timescale is flexible - it all depends on how things are going and if we like where we are. If not, we'll move on. Let me know if you're interested in meeting up.

If anyone else has tips/comments on proposed itinerary, I'd appreciate it.
Thanks
Bel

Hiya,

I will be travelling to Gmabia from the 2nd January to the 24th January. I will ertainly be in Morocco by the 6th of Jan. Maybe we could meet up and drive part of the way down together, particularly Mauritania and maybe Western Sahara.

I will have Janet (wife) and my four daughters with me in a Land Rover Defender 110.

Yours

Andy

drop me a line at andrew"at"preaching.co.uk take the at out and the exclamation marks and replace with @

I'm also prepping a 110 in Manchester and planning maroc / mauri / mali for either early Jan or April (or hopefully both). Myself and my girlfriend went Tun/Lib/Egypt and down the East side in 2002/3. Happy to swap info, feel free to mail.

I'm going Cairo to the Cape from Jan 06 till end of April so perhaps we can all meet up along the way. We'll be going down the East if we can get into Sudan.
