Note recieved about the Dakar Challenges
The original Banger Challenge, that has spawned so many others. In December 2002, the first group of hopeful souls left the UK in a motley collection of vehicles, optimistically believing that Julian Nowill knew what he was doing, and had substance and experience behind his words. Despite later finding out to the contrary, this first event was a great success and most of the 42 Teams even made it to Banjul. This Challenge is now in it's eighth year!
The Banjul Challenge heads South through Morocco, Western Sahara, Mauritania and Senegal, arriving in Banjul in The Gambia. Now other challenges go to Timbuctu.Murmansk, across Morocco and to somewhere in Central Asia. Remember,real men(and women) drive bikes and 2WD not 4WD,and they also camp. Let the mayhem begin.
