GPS coordinates Borj Mokhtar to Gao

I have some randomly chosen coordinates. I had the GPS on the hole time and went with guide, but I did not bother to take notes, so the coordinates are not necessarily at road splittings and it is the route our guide took us, not necessarily the straightest way.... (We happened to pass by some of his relatives on the way). The piste was easy and could be done without coordinates I think but anyway if someone wants them here they are.

Borj: N 21 19.916 E 001 00.479

Small village, no checkpoint: N 21 12.105 E 001 02.220

Tessalit, mali customs (3hours to stamp 7 passports, there was a good program on tv) N 20 12.176 E 001 00.553 From here the route is very clear for the first couple of hours.

At N 19 16.037 E 000 52.871 we turned right.

N 18 56.381 E 000 48.291 The pist goes straight south until N 18 38.300 E 000 49.400 where it bends to southsouthwest.

At N 17 51.139 E 000 19.751 turn west to the village Ergane N 17 47.852 E 000 01.674.

Go south to N 17 35.104 E 000 00.531 and then to the village almostart N 17 21.827 E 000 09.010

Go south to N 16 18.833 E 000 04.455 where you turn west for Gao at N 16 16.609 W 000 03.126

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.
