Robinson is on his way back

11 Apr 2019 When we last heard from Robinson's tag on the evening of 10 April he was just over half-way across the desert and in, or over, the Ahaggar Mountains in southern Algeria. We will have to wait until we next hear from his tag to see if he has successfully crossed the desert. All being well we should hear from him during the evening of 12 April. He is 2,256km (1,402 miles) north and east of his last location in Ivory Coast and has another 1,035km (643 miles) to go to reach the northern edge of the desert.
