GPS tracks
Tsizmo - sorry, I didn't keep the ones I used. Chris Scott's book has a set for Nhb to Atar and he has posted up some additional ones here (although one of the points seems to be too far north - a typo perhaps)

Sorry, nothing that I can send easily from here. You don't need GPS points for the railway piste - just keep the line on your left as you head West. Just before Choum, follow the corduroy South to Atar. Navigationally, the pass is also relatively straightforward.
Cyril Ribas's Mauritanie Au GPS is the best resource on the country's routes whether you read French or not: Editions TAKLA MAKANE (35€ on disc) and Chris Scott's Sahara Overland book also has some routes for Mauri amongst lots of other really good desert travel stuff.
Or if you just need points have a search online, I'm sure they have been posted by other travellers.

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.
