Finally, after driving absolutely off-road in the middle of nowhere (south of Taouz along the Algerian border) we had to got back on the track that any reasonable driver would never have left...

Did you get it up the big steep hill? We didn't make it after 3 attempts, did get all the way to the top on the third go just couldn't get over the brow so they had to winch us.
I didn't do any of the extreme run - I was advised against it based on tyres being ATR's and not muds.
There was one bend about 1/2 way in - a left hander and up - which the first time, I went up no problem, the other 3 runs around, I struggled - kept getting into the ruts and it through me off, and ended up across the track. Always got up, but took 2 or 3 goes.
One of the bend near the end was fun - was a bit of a hole and the front right waggled in the air - I enjoyed that bit
The mud run might of been a bit of a mistake - got the stuff everywhere now Mark.

That's the one I'm talking about - you commented on it in the gallery. We never made it over the top
I'd like to say it was skill and experience - but in truth it was neither Mark.

40 mins doing the course......4 hours washing the car afterwards.
We here in South Africa love to do some trips into Africa. We just came back from our little peice of heaven in Botswana called the Thuli Block. Not realy challenging, but always good fun.
