The first time i ever rode off road in the Sahara. I'd read something saying "once you've been out in the desert you'll never be the same"

Bollox i thought. How wrong i was. Blasting to the top of a dune about 800 feet high and looking at the harshness and beauty of the landscape, how do people live out there?

Then howling down desert tracks and to reach the overnight stop and again riding to the top of the highest dune and watching the sun go down after hammering round more dunes. The worlds biggest wilderness/playground, but treat it with respect, also knowing that i'd barely scratched the surface.

The night sky and the stars are just so vivid out there.
