Expedition to Timbuktu

Nick and his team regard themselves as the biker's biker and ride their bikes all the time. They are as dedicated and committed to biking as you can get. As Nick says, "the places I go to like Central Africa, last minute plans sometimes have to change. I have learnt in my years as a motorcycle tour guide, that adaptation and thinking on our feet is what we are good at. Riders also want good value, good service and journeys that fit their money and time requirements and I tell you one thing, no one, and I mean NO ONE who goes where we go, will ever beat us on price."

At last the 2008 journey to Timbuktu is about to start. Leaving Burton on Trent from the haulage yard of Jim Wolfe 18 bikes will be transported to Lisbon. Eight riders will be riding 100% of the way there and back, whilst seven riders will ride on the out-going leg only. Jim Wolfe will be head of transport, driving the MAN truck and trailer on this 8500 mile journey. Mark Hale is driving the second vehicle acting as ambulance and Paul Nichols is our paramedic. Lead guide is former 2007 Timbuktu rider Andrew Richards. Including Nick Sanders as organiser and second guide, there will be 27 riders expeditioning to this remote city in Mali during the month of January. The route is largely routed down the middle of Morocco, skirting the desert and then the western seaboard of Mauritania before turning east towards the Mali border.

After successfully getting 18 riders to Timbuktu and back in 2007, and with 26 riders in 2008, Nick Sanders is now taking bookings for Timbuktu 2009. This is one of the world's beautiful routes and if you are interested in riding across Northern and North Central Africa to this remote city in Mali then have a look at the Expedition to Timbuktu.
