... last Summer I spent three weeks in Algeria, in July and August, touring in a motorcycle around the Grand Erg Occidental, Timimoun being the southernmost town I have been to. It was quite tough but I survived.
Don't forget the Ramadan this year falls right on the period you will be travelling. Good luck!

Grist to the mill
Presumably the choice of season and coinciding with Ramadan is intentional for the purposes of filming an interesting/challenging documentary?
Good luck with it guys.

Hey guys thanks for the Replies! Yes august is gonna be hot but the month of Ramadan should make for some really interesting footage. Im really hoping this film will open up this part of the world to many western countries who think they are not able to view some of those beautiful sights and meet with a lovely culture
Actually just picked up the second shogun for the trip today; fantastic machine!
Thanks to all who Pm'ed I'll reply shortly

Thanks Bertrand! Pmed back There could be a possibility if time permits, as we are only going Bomako for flight home and selling of the vehicles so could stop off there if we arrive early, i got quite a bit of malarone already stocked as im not risking it!

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.
