Plymouth-Dakar Challenge Route

The route is approximate.  Daily distances covered may vary depending upon the average speed of individual convoys, delays incurred at borders and check-points, as well as group decisions to stay longer in one place or visit Cities off the main route.  The above route is feasible provided a good average speed is maintained at all times.  Breakdowns and delays will prolong the journey, and should be considered when booking your time off or flights home!
