This time in 2 weeks I should be on the ferry heading to Spain, I have booked with OneLife Adventure Travel to join their Sahara Occidental Explorer trip.

Should be a great trip Paul is an excellent guide, so you should enjoy some fantastic routes and brilliant scenery. Have a good one, and remember we like to see lots of pics!

Safe travels.

Nice, nice, nostalgia striking at full power, it's been a while since we last drove to the heart of the WS.
But not only nostalgia, also anticipation is gaining in strength. If everything goes according to plan, we set off for WS this autumn again!

Can you maybe draw a rough sketch of the route you took in WS? Or even better, can you provide some sort of GPS log?
