From Dakar to Ceuta
Folks,

Following the recent bombing in Casa it looks like my American co-driver will pull out of the north bound section of my trip home to the UK.

I will be in Dakar from around 28th to 30th May and am now looking for someone who needs a lift and can drive part time through Mauritania and Morocco. Had hoped to take my time but will most likely now just push through to Europe.

Anyone there and looking for a cheap trip back up to Europe? Fuel costs to be shared...

Other alternative is to send the car back to UK by boat from Dakar. Any ideas anyone?

Thanks in advance.

Mark.

hi

shipping the jipe back is very expensive.

I'm planning an expedition to from Portugal to Dakar and I already have a lot of prices of the transportation back home.

the best price I could manage is aprox 850€ per jipe... and to Portugal... to the UK it would be more expensive.

Best of luke.

Thanks. Just in case I do have to send the car by boat - which company was that with? And I presume that the cost was in Euros? The currency symbol didn`t come out on this computer...
