Searching for the route

This big chunk of desert may seen hard to swallow. Here we are on one of the great classics of the Dakar, revisited and improved for the occasion. Landmarks are extremely few and far between – the finest navigators are going to have their say. For the less inspired, Plan B involves picking the right tyre-tracks to follow. Reaching Nema in daylight is a victory in itself, for after nightfall, everything seems to take twice as long.

Until 5 minutes before arrival I was in the soup, fog EVERYWHERE!! But it cleared up for me as I was turning on final !







See ya next leg guys !!

Nice pics!

Is there any chance you could use jpeg instead of png, between 300kb-500kb is a large amount for posting images on the web! ;)

Very nice pics Jay ;) And again, lucky about the weather. There was absolute fog in Nema. Luckily I could pass over the airport when saw the runway, and recognized a road close to the runway. I could follow that road on the 2nd try so I did not miss the runway. But from 300 feet I could put her down again at around half of the runway only...

I suppose I can use jpg, I use png because the deterioration in compression is a lot less, that is all :)
