Dave and Phil's Africa blog
Welcome to Dave Need and Phil Gendall's blog. This is a record of our 2008/9 journey from Cornwall to Timbuktu in a 15 year-old totally unmodified Pugeot 205, as part of the Plymouth-Timbuktu Challenge (http://www.plymouth-banjul.co.uk/). Phil is a director at Gendall Design (www.gendall.co.uk), and Dave is a carpenter and boat builder. We left on boxing day 2008 from Portsmouth - and traveled to Marrakesh for New Year's Eve - then on down through Western Sahara and Mauritania, turning left somewhere and on to Mali.... and thence to Timbuktu. If you want to get the best from this blog now it's finished, go to the end and work forwards. If you want to know more about the challenge or just to get in touch email me on phil.gendall@btinternet.com Phil x

Good to see all those years as a typographer getting put to good use at last.

Old mooring strop
Hopefully will make a good towrope. Handy for when those Range Rovers get stuck and ask us for help.

Phil feeling the strain
This piecec of kit came out of Dave's dad's shed. A nice German pneumatic pump. Actually quicker at getting the tyre to 30psi than the electric one from eBay. That's progress.

Sand driving equipment No. 72
Old strip of carpet (from Dave's mum's stairs) to act as low budget sand ladders.
