Got out finally late afternoon after spending six hours covering the 20km? from Tamtatouchte to Tinerhir. The problem was, after the waters had dropped a bit the road surfaces still covered by flood water had to be cleared of underwater boulders, and mud in some places was 250mm thick. One of the fords had been partly swept away, and another ford almost completely destroyed, so had to wait for the diggers to fill the gap with stones.
