Hi,
Some friends and I are planning an unsupported 2 week mountain bike tour offroad, traversing the High Atlas in Morocco at end of May 2015.
(we've already had some great advice on this forum here
http://www.horizonsunlimited.com/hub...ain-bike-79578)
We would start at Imilchil (see below) and ride back to Marrakech over 2 weeks.
It's a bicycle transport by vehicle (and accommodation) question ...
It being a holiday we're restricted on time (see below) plus with our precious bicycles being our transport for the following 2 weeks it would be good to get a warm comfortable feeling about their transport - it would be great if anyone here could help / advise
THANKS VERY MUCH IN ADVANCE!

INITIALLY I'd like to get an idea quite quickly on the feasibility of item (1) and the points beneath it.
Can anyone here help / point me in the direction of someone who can?
QUESTIONS:
Perhaps a good hotel could arrange (1) also? If this is possible this takes away one other thing to worry about i.e. getting in touch with the driver!
(1) Reliable and fixed price driver from Marrakech to Imilchil:
Start: Marrakech
End: Imilchil (N 32 09.300W 5 38.083)
Do journey in 1 day
~5 hour journey - Google Maps route link below
355km
One-way only
x4 mountain bicycles
x4 passengers
x4 small bags each
Cost: £50 pp max i.e. £200 max?
(bus option looks complex with x2+ changes and lots of variables around times / delays making connections)
(2) Decent hotel for min x2 possibly x4 nights
x4 people
Cost ~£50pp pn
Hotel can provide secure storage of x4 bicycle boxes (approx 6ftx3ftx1ft each) for 2 weeks
