In 2009 Dad and I completed 'Touareg Trail, The Hardcore Edition' and were crowned 'Most Hardcore Team at the finish! Check out ore 2009 blog: http://www.norfolk2benin.blogspot.com/


This year we will return!!!

The routes are mainly off road and in 2 parts...

Part 1: The Dakar Challenge: Starts in France and meanders across the Atlas Mountains of Morocco and the deserts of Mauritania to the legendary capital of Senegal: Dakar.

Part 2: Raid Afrique: From Senegal we travel via savanna and jungle routes of Mali, on to Burkina Faso and Togo to the white sandy beaches of the tropics in Benin. Twenty 2cvs are due to participate with only the minimum of support.

"Amazingly behind the steering wheels of these cars are not professional rally drivers, not Paris-Dakar drivers nor racing fanatics but ordinary people with one thing in common, an absolute passion for adventure in its purest form."

You can read more about the adventure(s) on the organisations official website: www.touareg-trail.be


Last time we raised £1,500 for the charity Unicef, this time we want to do it again but for Parkinsons UK. So we need your support, please dig deep and sponsor us to help this fantastic charity. Simply visit or webpage: http://www.justgiving.com/2cvAfrica

St Louis – St Louis (Camping) 110km

Tuesday 30th
Mileage 69424
The no food and drink was worth it as I'm feeling much better today! Wooo hoooooo
Today is a rest day so not much to report, we took a trip back into St Louis to see it in daylight, we had a lovely meal, Chicken & chips for me and Dad had a swordfish pasta dish. Mmmmmm....the first food after 24hours! It was soooooo yummy!
I moved my tent this evening, from under the trees to the waterside, more crabs hiding under out tent here (much bigger sand coloured crabs) but the view in the morning was really special and to watch the fishing boast pass by, I almost didn't want to leave, but there are some fun tracks waiting out there.....
