TRIP TO DESERT IN PEUGEOT 205 DAY 209 + 210

November 27th and 28th in Peugeot.

Left Noudhibou around 9am and basically headed east along the railroad to Chouan. Once leaving the asphalt road it was sand for about 410kms. We had a few minor issues which we fixed and adjusted the tyre pressure quote a few times depending on the sand conditions. The 205 is a two wheel drive but never got stuck once and we have had thick soft sand but no fesh fesh.We did 268kms the first day and slept in the desert just past Inal.I just slept on the sand, didn't bother with the tent and survived.


DAY 210       2nd of car trip.

Today we got going after some coffee and a banana and encountered a lot more soft sand but never got stuck once. Adjusted tyre pressure all day and it worked well. Stopped at Ben Amera and had lunch and then went to the smaller rock where they had some artists carve on the rocks and few years back. 

    You can just see the car down there.


Continued on to Choum and that was the end of the tracks and then headed south to Atar 130kms on asphalt road to Bab Sahara campsite where we had a good meal.
