I think you're on it Simon H.
Dont forget,. it all gets simpler once your in the middle of it and meet other travellers.
Pre-dept fretting is a common ailment ;-)

Thanks Chris,
The bit I was unsure of specifically was my route to avoid the central and west coast political bits, so I was trying to go - Moroc, Mauritania, Mali, Niger, Sudan, Ethiopia and then on down the East Coast.
However I learnt from the British consulate in Libya we can get in from Niger but not out into Sudan...Eeeek! This now suggests that short of re-routing into Egypt (where I have no interest of visiting) that the alternative is to ship the bikes from Nigeria to either Sudan or Ethiopia. This would be a shame for two reasons, one it means we dont go overland to the cape and the other is... of course, the dosh, which will be a big hit.
Do you know of any cunning routes I can try without being robbed, shot at, or arrested?
Thanks Simon
