R101 Et Al
I have deliberately left this post in the Landmines thread because of its relevance in terms of access.However,the moderators may decide to move it as it otherwise has nothing to do with the mines.
The R101 has/is being upgraded and is tarmac all the way from Tan Tan to Smara.
About 6k South of Abteh a tarmac road comes in from the west and this runs to the coast North of Akhfenir. There are six fuel stations at this junction but I think the three old ones will close as the new ones are commissioned!!!There is no fuel on the Akhfenir road and nothing else of interest either.However,it is a fast route to the coast if you need it.
We crossed from Khawi Nam to this road on a miriad of gravel pistes that could be done on bikes but some of the washouts may prevent 2wd and big road bikes. The terrain is usually flat gravel plain interspersed with sand hummocks.Apart from camel watching we found it not very interesting but hey,another track/munro done
