Minefield melodrama

Well we are finally back in contact after reaching civilisation! On our last post we were heading for the Mauritanian border, suffice to say it wasn't a picnic!

We arrived at a service station 50k from the border which happened to have a hotel, as usual there was no room at the inn, no problem we can camp. Following Team bodge we found a bijou campsite just of the road, excellent, untill a police car pulled up, bugger were going to get moved on! But oh no, it was far worse than that, 'dont go any further your on the edge of a minefield'. Everybody froze, luckily it became clear that the minefield was a few hundred yards further and we were OK where we were. After a fitful nights sleep it was off to the border for our daily dose of corruption.
