Description
[Moderator: situation doesn't justify entry in iOverlander]
Eastbound by motorcycle. rainy season and lots of rain, including the night before. However, I had a nice sunny day.
First 100kn out of Bafoussam was tar, much glass smooth. 100km at end mix of old tar and dirt gravel. Middle 80km all dirt gravel.
Took me close to 9 hours at modest speed. A few spots for that blog photo ops and to embellish the story, but not too challenging. I'd leave closer to dawn in a car, unless you drive like the locals. Some lifted Corollas on the road, and they were making it.
With light rain, it would be a little slippery in spots for a motorcycle but doable if you're a v strong rider? Likely fine in the land cruiser. heavy rain in the rainy season send pictures....
No gasoline in Banyo when I was there. Last gasoline is in Bankim I'm told.
