Where are we?

	Kribi - Cameroon at 15:19 on The Adams Bros said looks like 8730 miles in 31 days has brought us to a successful conclution. big shame we now have to stop sitting in our own juices, eating local road kill,screaming and shouting about which way is uber dangerous or plain inpractical. Many highlights to reflect on, it really wasnt over 'til its over! All that remains now is a short drive to Douala for our flight. Too easy! The bros over and out.@

	Bertoua - Cameroon at 07:39 on The Adams Bros said You know you've got the hang of police checkpoints when you can turn it round and ask them for bribes. Drove until midnight last night jus shy of Bertuna then up at 5 again today trying to make the 400 miles to Kribi - despite arriving in Ngaoundere without fuel or the right currency on a bank holiday, the race is still on!@

	Garoua - Cameroon at 22:09 on The Adams Bros said Woke at 5 this morning, after a 3 hour struggle along a dirt track to the Cameroon boarder, breaking our fuel line twice, having a flat tyre and all 3 cars getting stuck, we were told the boarder guard didnt have an exit stamp and we were supposed to go back - not likely sunshine! Jon worked some lyrical genius and we were through the Nigerian side, somehow we arrived on the wrong side of the Cameroon boarder. Exhausted now, and getting up at 4 tomorro trying to make the party - it'd better be swingin!!

	Yola - Nigeria at 22:14 on The Adams Bros said Its a tall order but we're 1600km from Kribi and have 2 days to do it, as well as doing a Nigerian boarder crossing, we're battling flat tyres, locking gearshifts, splitting brake lines and overheating cars - anything else want to break?! Its on like donkey kong if anymore fake road blocks wanna try us!!

	Yola - Nigeria at 21:49 on The Adams Bros said Its a tall order but we're 1600km short of Kribi and have just over 2 days to do it, as well as a Nigerian boarder crossing we're battling flat tyres, split brake lines, locking gearshifts and overheating cars - anything else want to break?! Its on like donkey kong if anymore fake road blocks wanna try us!!

	Katsina - Nigeria at 20:56 on The Adams Bros said Todays mileage wasnt much more impressive than yesterday, 10 hours driving and 154 miles. Nigerian roads are riddled with potholes and have claimed 2 tyres, another gearshifter and another radiator hose. Camped off the road between Mokwa and Pizhi, not sure we'll manage the 16th for the party.

	Sokoto - Nigeria at 20:18 on The Adams Bros said After 11 hours driving, we've managed 74 miles today. Although listed as a road between Kosubosu and Kaiama, the extreme offroad course caused the impressive following between our convoy; fuel line split, radiator hose split, exhaust drop off, bull bars bend, rear bumper loss, 2 distributor soakings, two flat tyres, a buckled wheel, knocked off wing mirror, a pierced oil filter, a punched windscreen and a frayed temper!! Nigerian roads suck.@

	Ilorin - Nigeria at 20:38 on The Adams Bros said After a few days of radio silence enforced by various countries telecom services i can report we're still alive! Bamako's open sewers smelt delightful but we got our Nigerian visas fine so cant complain. Ouagadougou was a nice city, but the powerabusing traffic police were annoying. Benin's highlands are awesome and im fairly sure the waterfall didnt give us Bilharztia. Now nursing a bowl of rice and sausages in the forests of Nigeria with team IronLionZion and Africa Shox!@

	The worst type of policeman is by far the begging type. We're in Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso, and have just been told we jumped a red light. They took our passports and vehicle import cards then demanded some obscene amount of money to get them back. Ali flew off the handle and 'convinced' them to settle of a lesser amount and we were on our way. The exhaust back box dropped off yesterday so the Pig now sounds like every other chav'mobile in England - how they put up with the constant drone amazes me!These central african countries don't seem to agree...

	Nouakchott - Mauratania at 00:34 on The Adams Bros said Drove for 200 miles today through dunes,played the ignorant britain to avoid checkpoint bribes & will be sleeping with the mozzies tonight! malaria!

	Boulanouar - Mauratania at 23:14 on The Adams Bros said Now in Nouadhibou, the 6 hour wait at the boarder was only compensated by the 4km live mine field in no mans land! You need guide! (no) 20 euro!
