17.10.2015 Chhatarpur - Faizabad (Indien)

There are good roads, bad roads and Indian roads we had to learn today. (sorrowfully). Calculated was a distance from 323 miles , according to our navigation system travel time about 9 hours. But after about 50 miles we were done with our plans, there was nothing you can call a road, off road track or pot-hole way almost does no give a description to what we had experienced.

Pot-holes with a little bit asphalt in between ( up to 17 miles length!!!), gravel roads , sand roads and a temporary pontoon bridge we were allowed to go through. Almost incredible, peak load for man and machine.

Up to a little dent on Wolfgang's left back rim there were no visual damage or problems on the cars

After about 255 miles and 11 hours travel time (!) it was already dusky and we decided to end this stage in Faizabad , because to drive at night in India is something like hara-kiri. Fortunately yesterday we found a hotel on the internet and   we programmed the address into the navigation system. For the first time the DWT team was really done…..
