Mauri problems
Thanks for the info Sophie-Bart,
Both stories are more than little worrying from a personal point of view as I will be heading south through Mauritania in the early part of next year in my 1986 Landrover, one which is well over the five year-old cut off.
I will of course have my carnet for the vehicle, but will this act as enough insurance for the authorities to allow me to pass through their country or am I likely to be stopped in my tracks?
Does anyone have any confirmed experience that this now the norm when getting to the border or is it just a rumour which has been doing the rounds for a while?
Keeping a low profile while travelling through some of these countries is always a good idea when having the misfortune of UK registered plates on the front and back. I will be removing my Union Jack sticker on the rear before departing.
Be interested to hear people's opinions on the situation.
Ben
