Arrow Seat available for an interesting flight to Africa

I am going to Africa to view the eclipse on 29 March (total trip time 7-10 days). My companion has ..... found another hobby and I'm looking for a replacement.

We will be going in my 180HP single so you must not mind single engine over water (I will provide life jacket!). I don't hang around so be prepared for a lot of flying.

I have a full instrument rating and am used to aviating solo outside Europe so you don't have to be a pilot (though better obviously) but you must like being in aeroplanes!

If you are female and we find eachother wildly attractive that's a bonus.

Most of all we must get on and enjoy eachother's company. This is supposed to be fun!

If interested send me a private message.

You sound intriguing.
I have some spare time but as said before really need to know where we might be going?
I have been passenger many times and can handle plane OK and help about the cockpit.

That sounds an awful long way with a stranger all the way to Libya. Iwonder how many hours in the air and where would we stop for nights on the way?

It would be important to unstrangerise before departure.

Intended routing would be Corsica, Catania, Benghazi and maybe further depending on clearances etc.

I'm afraid I like to get on with it - fly 6+ hours a day and tend not to stop en-route for long lunches in Lyon, but I suppose this could be negotiated .....

RT,
I have a collegue at work who is interested. She's a PPL with around 800(?) hours.

Could you let on:
- Type of aircraft
- Where based

OC619

P.S. She can't get access to PPRUNE from work (I have a sneaky way of doing so) - so she'll probably check out the thread later tonight.
P.P.S. Would the aeroplane have a photo on G-INFO where it looks as if its in a Desert? If so is that you next to it?

Certainly feels like it at the moment ... And, if I do get time off, it's foggy/snowing/blowing a hooley. I've got a couple of weeks off coming up. But I'm spending them in Madeira.
