Hi everybody,

I will leave for west africa mid october on my own, francoise is not coming. I will go to Senegal where I have some carritative work for 3 weeks (refugy village)
So my plan is to reach Sete (near Marseille) take the boat to Nador (Morocco) and then trough the much more scenic roads of the east atlas join south of morocco (I know morocco very well).
Btw. : I am the coordinator/organiser for the Belgium meeting, so to all going south in september come and visit us the 9 th in Belgium !

So have any of you hooked up and decided to travel together as a result of this thread? I was planning to go to Africa around this time in 2007 (I don't want to wait, but I'm waiting on a couple of friends) but I'm getting antsy and want to leave sooner... and since people's plans always change I think it's risky to wait a year for these guys when they could very well bail out at the last minute.

Any insight on the fastest turn-around time in regards to showing up in the UK, getting a travelling bike, getting it titled and getting a carnet?

I don't think any of us has got together yet to chat about going to Africa. If you really want to get everything together ASAP, then the minimum time is two months. This is due to getting the carnet sorted out. Something I'm working on this week.

I'm interested in possibly starting out with one or more of you on this trip. However, if what Wild Bill says is accurate about 2 months to get crap sorted out, it would put me way behind. After getting myself to the UK or whatever European departure point, I'd have to find a bike, get it titled in my name, and get the !?#*ing carnet.

It looks like some of you are planning to start out in September, which would make things difficult. If plans have changed and you now have a later departure date, please contact me, also send a tel #, preferably landline: stevenwherever (at) yahoo (dot) com
