Gravel Roads through West Africa

Erich · 04-27-2010, 04:40 AM

Hi All

I am new to this site and thought I'd inform you all of a trip I am doing with a friend.
We set out on the 1st of September 10 and will ride from London to Cape Town via West Africa. We will shortly have some events coming up to promote both our trip and our charity, and are trying to spread the word.
Have a look at our site for any news, videos, events and bike mods. You can also find us on Facebook as Gravel Roads, our website has a link.
Our site is http://www.gravelroads.co.uk/index.html
Hope you enjoy, and please feel free to leave any comments on our guestbook !

Many Thanks
Erich

To be honest we haven't decided on a specific route, any suggestions of a good route are welcome. why be shitting bricks ? cause of the country or cause of the roads.

Hi Erich

I have been doing some research for a trip I plan up through Angola to Euro and it seems the roads that side are not in good condition. I cant confirm it, but that's why I am still trying to get info.
Will let you know if I find reliable info.

HI!

I have been working in Angola for 5 years and I bring my BMW GS 1100 from Portugal.
If you need any help about roads condition in Angola please ask.

I will start a trip in Setember to Mozambique and then to Portugal.
