What an amazing experience this would be!!
I’m going to attempt this, are you down for it?
sound exciting
I wanna start from Gat, how much fee that should I pay?
It’s strange the way I knew about the event, it was through the net and not through any Libyan media and the guys who are organising and participating are German, British, French etc.
Libya’s desert is known to be one the hardest and toughest places on earth and the event is designed to see to which limit a human can go and they seem to enjoy it very much and I read many article and comments on various websites about the event and all were very positive and encouraging in terms of the country and people. By the way I would still prefer it if the same people would always organise and not much interference from Libya.
