After a day of trying to find the fault, I was forced to abandon the 2CV and set off into the dunes. The primary goal was to reach the only oasis in the area, about 15 km away. From there, cross an erg (dune area) of 35 km to reach the Atar - Tidjikja axis, from where I could find a vehicle and reach Atar. In Atar I would find a way to return to the 2CV with a mechanic. I never feared for my life because I know the terrain, its water points and its nomadic camps perfectly. An experience that reminds me of my biggest ordeal in the middle of the desert, experienced 26 years previously, with a breakdown of 21 days: • Helped by Hubert Auriol in a helicopter... Good video!

The main aim is to reach the only oasis in the area, about 15 km away. From there, I had to cross a 35 km erg (dune area) to reach the Atar - Tidjikja road, from where I could find a vehicle and drive to Atar. At Atar I'd find a way to get back to the 2CV with a mechanic. I never feared for my life because I know the terrain perfectly, with its waterholes and nomad camps. It was an experience that reminded me of my biggest adventure in the middle of the desert, 26 years ago, when my car broke down for 21 days: • Rescued by Hubert Auriol in a helicopter... Enjoy the video! Translation of subtitles: Sandra Williams This is what the Tag says, when the Panne is found, when it comes to the 2CV, the 2CV is on the road and in the Dünen on the road. The remaining skies are, the only Oase in the surrounding area is 15 km away. We sleep at über ein 35 km langes Erg (Dünengebiet) auf die Achse Atar - Tidjikja, von wo aus ich ein Fahrzeug finden und nach Atar fahren könnte. In the meantime, when you find one of our vehicles, one of the Mechaniker zum 2CV zurückzukehren. I have to say that Angst um mein Leben, da ich das Gelände, die Wasserstellen und die Nomadensiedlungen genau kannte. Eine Erfahrung, die mich an meine größte Galeere mitten in der Wüste erinnert, die ichre zuvor mit einer 21-tägigen Panne erlebt hatte: • Troubleshooted by Hubert Auriol in a helicopter... Viel Spaß mit dem Video!
