Arrow Update MS6 in Morocco

I just returned from a trip in Morocco where we drove the MS6 route from Chris' Morocco Overland. Great route with magnificients views which we started in Merzouga and drover to Tagounite.

When we had lunch at Hassi Ouzina, the friendly owner advised us not to cross the Oued Daourda at the regular piste. Two Land Rovers passing us told us that they had struggled for hours to get through a 6 km long stretch feche feche. When we stopped at El Remlia, a small village just before the oued, a french speaking local told us about an alternative track to cros the oued and which would bring us in a valley just north of the original track hoewever leading to Tafraoute as well. We followed his advise an got accross well. Due to the abundance of tracks near the oued we struggled a little to find our way down and we hit some feche feche as well, however not nearly as bad as the 6 kilometer long stretch.

This local also drew a roadbook in 3 A4s for the next 100 kilometer or so. And pretty accurate.

Membership - help keep us going!

Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love. To keep it going and a roof over our heads, we run events all over the world with the help of volunteers; we sell inspirational and informative DVDs; we have a few selected advertisers; and we make a small amount from memberships.

You don't have to be a Member to come to an HU meeting, access the website, or ask questions on the HUBB. What you get for your membership contribution is our sincere gratitude, good karma and knowing that you're helping to keep the motorcycle travel dream alive. Contributing Members and Gold Members do get additional features on the HUBB. Here's a list of all the Member benefits on the HUBB.
