Me and Davros the 'no longer unready' finally got round to forming what could be passed as something approaching a plan at the weekend.
Press any key to continue. Doh, where's the 'Any Key'
We've sorted out our travels day by day until Agadir in Southern Morocco, after that we're governed by making the Mauritanian border in time to meet up with everyone and head off into the dessert. All of the following is completely subject to change depending how we get on and how badly we get distracted by cool stuff on route! having said that our itinary so far looks something like this.
Sunday 17th Brighton to Hyde Park to Calais to Bergerac !!!
Monday 18th Arrive Bergerac and recover!!
Tuesday 19th Leave Bergerac over the Pyrenees to somwhere in Northern Spain near Zaragoza, stopping when we've had enough
Wednesday 20th Zaragoza to Madrid and a night in an Ibis hotel and city shenningans
Thursday 21st Leave Madrid, arrive Gibraltar to claim our pre-booked accom and meet up with the rest of the teams
Friday 22nd Recover from Thursday and general R&R day
here, here and ....... how far!!!
Saturday 23rd Leave Gibraltar by ferry for Morocco, not expecting to get far by the time we've negotiated out first African border. Stopping around Fes when we've had enough or find somewhere intersting to stay.
Christmas eve 24th Arrive Marrakech for two days with few other teams
Christmas day 25th Day in Marrakech doing touristy stuff
Boxing day 26th Leave Marakech for Agadir via the Tiz n Test mountain pass stay in Agadir
Wednesday 27th Leave Agadir into the dessert, still on road, to Daklar
Thursday 28th Daklar to Nouadibou to re-group pre desert operation
Friday 29th Into the desert for real.
From this point on all bets are off and, although we pretty much are anyway, we'll be taking each day as it comes. We still need to make a certain amount of progress each day but it's such an unknown we're not bothering to plan on being anywhere at any given time in between the various towns and borders.
Will try and get some Google earth links to some of the desert way points or simliar.
Not filched and modified from a Paris Dakar website, honest.
