It will take 14 days to walk this distance in Denmark from south to
north, on sand, asphalt, grass, concrete and stones. He expects mostly bad
sliding. This tour is for preparation for his real target: crossing Sahara
desert on ski (sources: referred from EXIT and Afteposten).
Erik has a long way to walk if he make an attemp on crossing Sahara. The
Sahara Desert is located in North Africa, the West portion of the broad belt of
parched land that extends from the Atlantic Ocean eastward past the Red Sea to
Iraq. The entire desert, the largest subtropical in the world, is about
1600 km wide and about 5000 km long from East to West.
2.5 million people live the Sahara. Most of them live in Mauritania, Morocco
and Algeria. The biggest groups of people are the Tuareg-Berber, the Sahrawis,
Moors and different black African ethnicities including Tubu, the Nubians, the
Zaghawas and the Kanuri. The largest city is Nouakchott, Mauritania`s
capital. Other important cities are Tamanrasset, Algeria; Timbuktu, Mali;
Agadez, Niger;Ghat, Libya; and Faya, Chad.
Walk on - with hope in your heart - and your never walk alone....... We in
Travel Explorations wish him good luck, and look forward to follow Eirik and his
team on their wild skiing tour!
