..from the UK ..mainland Europe, Cyprus, Egypt then more or less follow the Nile. A few long legs this way but clearances were much easier to negotiate. With Avtur supplies sorted and planning 100% perfect you could have a ball. (Note "could" not "should"!!) PS with a satellite mobile-phone and GPS they should find you in 2-3 days at worst if the old Alison 250 takes early retirement. Enjoy.. but take an additional 100 lites of A1 instead of the additional pax.... his ££ will be no use to you if you have to auto-rotate into the dunes!
