- PART II:
In the Spring of 2001, DRIVE THE GLOBE | Overland Adventures completed Stage I of its Trans-Africa Expedition.
This video features highlights of the Sahara crossing, made between Nouadhibou and Nouakchott Mauritania, a vast, desolate desert expanse where the only road is the wind swept sand dunes and hard rock strewn piste.
This nearly 250 mile journey took three days and saw temperatures climb to over 110 degrees fahrenheit.
It was completed with four Land Rover expedition vehicles.
Participants included Expedition Leaders, Michael Ladden and Paul Shumway, as well as Pat Macomber, Al Cornell, Jim Leach, Wilson Bullard, Shane Ballensky and Ed Messenger.

I don't know why I searched this but I am glad I did.
Thank you for watching.
bravo
Thanks for watching.
All stupid comments...
But 14 years ago 🤔
Landies was made for this, and it was a fun expedition between friends, not to prove or discover or achieve anything except having a good time...
In a Landy the journey starts when you leave home, what ever happens en route, happens, all part of the fun and experience...
🇿🇦
Agreed, Landys are always fun and it was quite an adventure.
All the gear and no idea!
@RONAEMVCS
Not to mention the load. I mean, damn, those are some seriously overloaded SWB Landies.
And totally gutless on power. Drinking fuel like a 12 cylinder.
They still got it done
The last comment is a bit un fair as they are older models with petrol motors requiring large amounts of petrol to be carried.
All the vehicles were overloaded and were running the worst tyres for running over sand giving little floatation and making transmissions and motors work harder cutting though the sand and not floating over it.
Yes pretty crazy that I saw that too they didn't have the right tires.
The Indomitable Subaru Forester!...It might not carry as much gear ,but checkout Subaroute. I was impressed. You might be too.
OH MY GOD. You go down into one of the worst environments in the world for vehicles to operate in and you didnt even check your fluid levels? YOU NEVER EVEN CHANGED YOUR FLUIDS BEFORE THE EXPEDITION?
Tires should be at 12 psi, so much unnecessary abuse
Ummm. Not with the weight that those trucks were carrying.
I would say you shouldn't left tarmac looking at the rear axles thank fuck you had a truck in your convoy .. you would of died in the desert otherwise..
Americans for you. I say no more.
I dont claim them ,there in landrovers instead of best 4x4s in America the toyota
