As we began the long descent there's more signs of agriculture.
Including trees. |
|
![]() |
Eventually villages. | |
![]() |
We aren't descending far but its noticeable. | |
![]() |
Occasional small orchards. | |
![]() |
And a Khattara. | |
![]() |
What a mixture. | |
![]() |
This brought new meaning to the idea of cold water washing. | |

We headed north of Imilchil to Lac Tislit.
We haven't a clue why there are two pitched roof buildings in a land of flat roofs. We headed along that track. We later came back to camp at the far end of the lake. |

After about 9km there is a second lake. Lac de Isli.
We had originally planned to camp but really didn't find anywhere suitable and the weather was beginning to cloud over. |
|
![]() |
There was supposed to be a fort. But we didn't find it.
So instead we drove past where all the maps said the road ended. |
|
![]() |
The track entered a gorge.
We mistakenly assumed that since the water was flowing our way eventually there would be a better road in front. |
|
![]() |
Not so.
We crossed the river many times. |
|
![]() |
Eventually a village.
The road stopped. We turned round. The villagers were friendly. It looked like there were more villages further downstream. Isolated comes to mind. There was a new well being built and lots of plastic piping. Needed because the river was red. Something about all the basics we take for granted. |
|
![]() |
Just as awkward going back. | |
![]() |
Lac de Isli. | |
![]() |
And finally back to Lac de Tizlit.
We camped at lakeside. 2265m so we are expecting another cold night. |
