Take a minute and visit Paula at Constant Trek – in 2004-5, she walked from London to the border of Mauritania. This year, she’s walking through Mauritania, Mali, Niger, Chad, Libya and Egypt. Here’s a bit from her latest blog entry:
“Firstly, I have just had a great two weeks, through 400km of the most dramatic, remote (and difficult) desert terrain I have ever seen. I am here in Tidjikja (if you find it difficult to say don’t worry – I still have to think about the spelling, and I’ve been walking to it for a fortnight) for three days, solely for communication purposes – but I have to admit that I am grateful for the chance to recuperate a little before the next push to ‘Aayoun el Atrouss, 500km away. And when I get there – I am two thirds of the way to Tombuctou!”
