A journey that started on the London Underground carried me to the most remote corners of the Sahara. I set out on a cold December day in 2002, and travelled by train from England, through France, to Italy, where I took the ferry to North Africa.

From Tunisia, I travelled by road through the diverse desert landscapes of Libya, Algeria and Niger, which make up the Central Sahara. After exploring Mali I continued through Guinea, before ending my trip in Freetown, Sierra Leone – a city located on a peninsula jutting out into the Atlantic Ocean.
