Editor’s Note. The photos are ‘of the time’ which means that they are 3.75”
x 2.5”. Enlarging them does mean
some of the detail is not very sharp but they still give a good look at
some fascinating local history.
There are plenty of photos of the Roman cities in the Libyan article
but this Berber scenery is very different.

An extended
recreational excursion, destination Qasar al Haj
and beyond.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Sun, sand, sarnie and
a mug of cha, time for refreshments on the journey.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Another tea break but nearing the high
ground meant a change of dress.
‘Caps comforter warm’ were donned by the intrepid explorers as the
temperature started to drop.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The transport takes a
breather during the climb.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Looking down on the
lads and the individual terraced plots of land.

|
|
|

|
|
Not a drop of water was
ever wasted when it was time for another brew.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
For the body, cleanliness is next to
Godliness, even if it is getting colder, but mess tins can be scoured with
handfuls of clean sand after a meal.
Just make sure there’s none left in them before the next meal.

|
|
|
|
|
|
Desert hospitality is
extended to the local population.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Camels, cattle and
herders on the move.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
And so to bed.
