Eyup Johnny- Finally found the info I promised you......it was on an old hard drive from my previous machine and I couldn't plug thatinto this newer machine 'cos it's the wrongsort of HD connection
Anyway.......here 'tis.
Bear in mind this is all old info- the GPS info in particular should only be used as a guide as always, but it may help
This first file is a Fiche (Feeesh!!) and it's essential!!
(ok, they won't shoot you without one but not having one will set you back many hours over the trip)
All of the riders in your party will need to fill one in...do it on the PC rather than by hand so it's totally clear, then print off between 30 and 40 each.
From Tan Tan south, you'll be stopped by lots of police checkpoints- they all want to know the ins and outs of a gnats arse and all you do is present a fiche each and they get all the info they want with no fuss.
If anyone's taking a laptop or a usb stick with them, copy either the blank fiche or one of everyone's completed fiche onto it just in case some muppet drops his envelope of paperwork in a puddle
It can also be a good idea if you're riding in a group to get one person to collect together a set of fiches from each person x5 so rather than having to leave the bikes and submit them all seperately, one person can deal with the whole thing by giving in a fiche for everyone.
PSthis is't an official document so you can muck it about and reformat it in any way, producing it as an a5 doc if you want or whatever.....as long as all the info's there, you're sorted.
Last comment...before you go, agree on some simple ground rules about what you say so that everyone's singing from the same hymn sheet.....they'll ask you where you've come from and what hotel you're going to...we always say 'Fes' and 'Hotel Fes' 'cos it's piss easy to spell and remember, and the hotel does exist.
If each person tells them something different, it can lead to all sorts of complications if they want to get awkward
