Africa trip
« on: March 16, 2006, 10:31:25 »
Hi all,

Most of you already know I'm off to Africa in a couple of weeks in the 101, but it seemed pertinent to this forum.

http://westafrica2006.blogspot.com is my blog, which I'll try to update as I go along where possible!

Yes, actually, after reading some info SuzukiShrek kindly provided I shelled out for Touratech QV plus the West Africa mapping CD.  It seems fine so far, ask me again when I'm in the middle of the desert!

David, Go to Zebrabar when you get to Senegal. Cheap beer, great food, excellent place to relax for a few days.
