I understood Rosso was a problem, from other´s. If barrege is giveng less problems I will naturaly use that crossing, but when looking on a map, I can´t see where it is. Is it close to Saint-Louis?

basically you go into rosso and take a right turn, tha last right before the entry to the dock, you will miss it but you can swing round and go back. It was at this point my passenger started shouting 'get me the f*** out of here' as hawkers tried to stop us! a sign of whats in store if you choose the Rosso crossing.
you drive through a load of rubbish and shanty town type area until you come out onto the track, this bit can be a little confusing, we got lost here, but just keep the river on your left and you'll pick up the trail. you continue along this trail until eventually (after about 80ks I think) you hit a wide dirt track. you head down this for several miles to the river and the border. this track is hideously corrugated with big washouts coming in from the side. one of ourcruisers hitone of these and bent it's wheel into a U shape. testament to the strength of the H60 that was the only damage, I thought the axle was coming off!!
all this is from 4 years ago but I wouldn't imagine it has changed much.
when you do it you could use your info to give us more up to date info!
