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

The (proposed) route
Well this is the basic idea. It's about 4500 miles... that's bound to put a bit of a strain on a relationship innit.

Hmmmmm tidy
And pretty tidy under the hood we think???? Nothing added, and more crucially - nothing taken away!

Introducing the car...
She's a 1993 Peugeot 205. Diesel, with a Cornish plate - a nice touch. Might even have an MOT by now! Shame they are going to scrap her.
