Sierra Leone
This was one of the most difficult roads we’ve encountered so far. Lots of broken bridges, difficult rocky sections and mud (even in dry season). Think it’s likely impossible in the rain. We even had to dust off the hi-lift jack to get us past one obstacle. The Guinea side is a bit better and really just like most other Guinean roads.
Why? By checking in after you’ve visited a place you let others know this place is still functional. You can also add or correct any information.
Drove this route today, and it was an absolute dream to cross the border here. You really feel very remote, small typical hut villages, flabbergasted locals, smiling kids, the whole lot.
Now (dry!) the track is pretty torn up, but easily manageable with good clearance. No broken bridges.
We drive a 8T 4x4 truck, and were surprised how wide the track is cleared from trees. There are some local trucks driving here to collect palm fruit and probably wood. Very nice track to drive with bigger rigs, without breaking stuff.
(I'm a cyclist). This road is pretty torn up in places but I did see two fully loaded timber trucks pass through, so it's obviously possible.
All bridges are currently functioning one way or another. Basically no wet mud right now. Some (short) very steep bits, definitely 4x4 territory.
Apart from those two trucks, I haven't seen a single car (just motorbikes)
