thanks for sharing your trip with us, the photos are great, as for being a sissy no way, personally roadbook and all it's more like dakar rally preparation!

i went on a tour on lightweight bikes and loved it,[recognised one of the hotels and a few of the passes] plenty to catch you out and truly brilliant terrain i hope to go back this year on my tenere. did any one make it up the really big dunes at the erg chebb?

the company we used motoadventure/patsy quick told us every year they have to seek out new trails as the tarmac advances losing yet more ground, so go before it's all gone!
