Festival of the Desert

[Tonyabc]

I am interested in going overland from UK to Festival of the Desert, music festival in Mali, for Jan 2006. I have a fully kitted out vehicle and am looking others going in the same direction.

2 Landrover 101's and possibly a 7.5 tonne dodge 4x4 leaving early novemeber Inshallah

What are your plans ?

Hi

My plans very vague. I finish work at end of July but probably heading off a month or so later; flexible about route and timescales. I plan to travel around after the festival heading very vaguely in the direction of India and China, maybe via Yemen.

I would like to link up with others for atleast part of the way.

Do you have more definate plans?

I have lang range tank, water system, winch roof tent and all the usual stuff people get but no experience in the desert.

I was planning to avoid anything too extreme in terms of routes hoping to avoid trashing the vehicle at the start of what might be a few years driving around.

Hi Tony

We may be a little late for you then unless you want to meet in Tunisia in November

Our plan (thats a very fancy name for a scribble on a mat) is a loop through north africa taking in the festival

We have 2 heavily modded 101's so we don't want to trash vehicles either but both drivers have desert experience (The other driver in Mercedes trucks over 6 years) and 2 well prepared camper vehicles

Hi Rich

Sounds like quite a convoy you are getting together.

I am Interested in a Tunisia or a Southern Europe link up in Nov because I want to travel slowly through Spain before getting to Africa.

I will send you an e-mail.
