Cycling to the Sahara

1,279 miles from London to the desert, by bike, boat and (whisper it) train

In spring 2012 David Charles set off from his front door in London to cycle to the Sahara. Things did not go entirely to plan. Twenty-eight dispatches from the road: French pizza, Marseille ferries, killer guard dogs, Matmata moped men, Ksar Ghilane in the rain, Tunisia a year after its revolution, and an awful lot of couscous.
