Mauritania maps
Just got the new 2015 Adrar map from Justus at Bab Sahara (€10 + post)
1:600k scale, covers round 300 x 300km centred around Chinguetti.
I recall years ago on here scoffing at talk of a bold new road from Zouerat to Tidjikja via Atar. Well, according to this edition of the map that may happen, not via the direct piste (Atar-Tidj - R10 in the book) but along a route from Oujeft (south of Terjit) running SE. That route's always intrigued me since a mate did it 10 years ago. Looks like lots of switching between sandy canyons and stony plateau tops, but a few villages and other tracks branching off too. Now it may be a little better formed the ~300km may well be bikeable, making a good loop back north along R10 to Atar.
Nothing jumps out on Google Earth (10 years old this week, fyi) so may be pre-emption.
