Hi RuggedHall and all,
I've been considering doing the same Mauritania route, Bon Lanuar (on the border road) to Ben Amera (following the train track.) It's circa 200miles from my route planning on Basecamp.
I've actually joined HUBB to post similar questions to those you've already done!
I'll be on a motorbike (Dr650) and was hoping to get fuel and water in Ben Amera or Inal. (Perhaps not from the previous comments) Considered doing that stretch in one day, camp at the rock, then head to Atar the following day. If possible I'd like to ride to the eye of the Sahara via Chinguetti thereafter.
I'd be alone, so it's not without some apprehension i consider this particular route. (Am I mad? - I'm sure Chris Scott was considered so in the early days)
My bike is shipped from England to North Africa next week.
I don't have Chris Scotts Sahara Overland, but i do have 'Morocco Overland' and used it on three previous off-road trips to that country. I thought Sahara Overland was out of print, but would certainly acquire a copy if it's still of use? Advice appreciated.
Edit. Just found this.
