 2. cartography

As we had to change the starting and ending points of this caravan, we were not able to use, as usual, the old plans (downloaded from this link) to be able to reference ourselves at all times on the ground, so after the caravan we drew the route made on those plans. It is a pity because those plans printed are very useful and as well as the notations we used to do everyday during every qafila.

 
 

Using an Apple Watch and its application Workout, I could, later on, draw on this Google Maps file the route we followed, which will allow us to compare the representation of a satellite photo with reality and thus be able to identify the type of terrain we will walk through in future caravans.
