Dakhla
We left Laayoune yesterday morning and continued deeper into Western Sahara. The road was long, straight and fast but our progress was occasionally impeded by sand whipping across the road, particularly when trucks passed by the other way. We reached Dakhla about 5pm and booked into a campsite with about 15 other teams.
Today is a rest day, which we are spending doing our final preparations for the desert proper. This morning we have shed some weight from the car and shifted some kit around in a bid to raise the rear wheels out of the arches. We have arrange a guide with a group of four other cars (aforementioned Nova, Suzuki SJs and Golf), and we are about to go shopping for supplies including 40 litres of water. This will probably the last entry until Nouakchott in a few days time.
