    The next 1500-2000km will be the most brutal of the trip by far. Strange to think that on this episode, they are running close to where the mighty Tamanrasset River flowed - from the Atlas Mountains to the Mauritanian coast. Yep, the Sahara was as recently as 6000 years ago a green and fertile land fed by a massive river, with unknown cities now lost to the sand.

    • @Tjalve70
      @Tjalve70 3 месяца назад +3

      I think they have just finished the most brutal part.
      The route from Senegal to Atar has probably been the hottest. And the route from Zouerat to Tindouf has been running (and driving) in sand. So I think that has been the hardest part.
      Now that he (presumably) has entered Algeria, it is the easy part. Although I guess it will be a bit tough when he's crossing the Atlas.

      @@loganleroy8622 You are right. Which was why I said I thought he was in Tindouf.
      Of course it is possible that they are only in Bir Moghrein now. In which case they have only done half of what Russ had planned.
      But in that case, where did they briefly upload from, about 5-6 days ago?
      It could be that upload was from the hostel that is half way between Zouerat and Bir Moghrein, when I think about it. I got stuck in the sebka close to that hostel when I drove that route.
      But until I see proof that they have been that slow, I will assume they are in Algeria now.
      Of course, I won't be surprised if they are that slow, since I the pace Russ has planned really is brutal.
