Which is the temperature
in Hoggar? Which is the climate ?
The representation
of the desert is always the image of hot season. In
fact Hoggar is a mountainous solid mass in altitude
and profits from a softer climate. From November to
March it is one favourable period; in day the average
temperature is of 20°/ maximum 27°. The nights
are fresher in altitude (only one night during the
raid with 2375m), the night tempéatures can
go down to 0°. The air be very dry (hygroscopy
30%) thus attention with dehydration in day.
Will we have water
for the raid ?
Who says deserted,
known as lack of water in theory. The wells are indeed
very few, but logistics ensures the requirements out
of drinking water. Points ravitos on the course will
enable you to remake the full one. With the bivouac,
you will have water for your toilet.
Safety in Algeria?
It is true that Algeria
leaves an image through the media of animated country.
But the events of 90 are finished and related to the
northern zone of Algeria. Tamanrasset and Hoggar is
with 2000km from there, with the other end of the
desert. During this period, Hoggar remained a quiet
zone. The population here saw on another rate/rhythm
that Algeria of North. Tourism never stopped in the
Algerian south and maintaining all Algeria open with
the tourisme.All the French trek agencies took again
(or continue) their trips in the Sahara. You near
those inform which already came, Hoggar is a serene
place, stop the psychosis. The gendarmerie and Algerian
civil protection will supervise the safety of the
event and the participants during all the stay.
What includes/understands
the tariff? Can it change?
The price is very
included/understood: air at the beginning of Paris,
complete pension (see the chart). The courses of the
kerosene being what they are to date, the price of
the air ticket can evolve/move. We refine our side
the cost of the organization to maintain the price
with just.
Medical means?
A local medical team
(doctor + male nurse) with her own vehicle will assist
us all along the race. According to the number of
participants, one kiné French specialist in
the raids will be also present to assist the medical
team.
How do the bivouacs
occur?
The race proceeds
in itinerant stages; each night thus occurs in full
nature, under the starry sky. The zone of bivouac
is each time sufficiently vast to preserve if necessary
its intimacy, to wash themselves... the logistic team
will cook every day good meals for you.
How does Randonneurs
category proceed the stay of?
You to profit from
all logistics related to the race: beaconing of the
course, points ravito, following car, organization
of the bivouacs... You carry out the same stages,
but at your rate/rhythm, without stopwatch (possible
stops on the spot caraceristic...). You will evolve/move
in a very convivial environment and you will give
pleasure all along the course. In the event of blow
of pump in a collar, the following car can transport
you. The runners also come in a very convivial spirit
and the agreement between all is required, with the
meeting again with the bivouacs and the stories of
the adventures of the day around fire.
How to transport its
bicycle?
The bicycles are transported
as luggage in the compartment of the plane. With you
to pack it in a cover of transport, bag bicycle or
special bag. You can also recover a box board at your
velocist. Think of well protecting the framework and
dismounting the leg of shifting track..
