How To Dismantle A Car Alarm

Talsinnt Merzouga 291Km Merzouga


Photos of the day


Departure at 7:00, still no electricity or water is abandoned loosely Samir and his friends to their fate, all the people with whom we spoke dream only of one thing, come to Europe, which represents the Eldorado for them, with a preference these days for Spain, given the living conditions and prospects can understand.

Depart from Samir

With these thoughts we take the road direction Beni Tadjite which was our destination for the second stage, but given the village and saw the reception we received was much better Talsinnt. We take the track towards the neck Belkhacem. It is very fat and still wet, if it had been from the day Talsinnt I think we would have struggled in the rain. The track is easy to follow, it is straight with occasional wadi beds and gullies to cross, then comes the famous Col de Belkhacem, The north side is not a problem, the descent of cons the other side is a bit steeper.

Beautiful walks with large stones, two pins, must stay focused but nothing difficult (no photos injury).

Rising

The track is more fun to follow, no trace, it is the first to go after the rain. Another ford to cross, there is a small bridge with stones, it goes without too many problems. Found to Tazouguerte tar.

Then the N10 along the wadi Guir, and one can see the damage from floods. The ramp to the bridge over the river towards Errachidia was carried and gear in the train again, the cafe at the intersection seems to have suffered heavy damage, the foundations are bare. It is up
Boudnib to recreate the full. There are no more station since long time, the only possibility is to gasoline in cans, one quickly finds the "boutique", asks the price of 150 dirham, oops there is inflation in the south. It has only 100 km and thus one does require that each of the five we will not quibble, there is no other choice''and''gas station attendant knows.
Youth tell us that we can not cross the river, there is too much water, it goes well see.

Indeed, there are a lot of water, looking for a passage, then mark off and after half an hour of unsuccessful attempts and wet feet are abandoned.

Wadi Guir

It was therefore decided to take the road to Erfoud Errachidia and reach by road. It contains tar and crosses the bridge repairs. Infuse 150 terminals tar, or more if you go to Merzouga as expected, especially after a lazy day, do enchants me halfway.

After the bridge, a track takes south east towards the runway so we wanted to do. I move Patrick to give it a shot, we'll see. Yallah enquiller it.
The track disappears rapidly after the passage of what must be a wadi bed but dry. We continue to track the GPS off, that's not all flat, there are holes and bumps, but it goes makkach Mouchkil carefree (that's where we do not regret not having a follower 4x4 ). And after a half hour they finally fell on the runway.

Runway Boudnib Erfoud

's all right for nearly 20 miles, the trail runs along a cliff then enters an area of canyons and gorges carved by the waters of imposing towers and contours, it's pretty nice to ride, do some gardening a bit, turned around and finally found the exit.
The descent to a vast flat expanse before shooting straight east towards Algeria to circumvent a rock barrier and return west south west to the Erg Chebbi.

You're made by or?

's all right

It happens to the erg in 10 years, hotels have pushed all along, the village of Merzouga exploded, it does not recognize anything. It is full of gasoline (not seen since Nador station), still in container. Passage to Ksar Sania, the first hotel located there by a French couple and we stayed 10 years ago, the desolation, it was partially destroyed by floods in 2006 and devastated by the recent flood, we don dare not even stop. Stop at the last hotel on the road Taouz.

Good day, cons by the news is not good, the runway after Taouz Zagora is impassable, the river overflows and Rheris person is spent for days.

We'll see tomorrow

Erg Chebbi off
