Likely to be as much as 25cm snow on Wednesday in central High Atlas but mostly gone by Saturday.

Bit of a dusting around Azrou/Ifrane in the Middle Atlas, again should be gone in a couple of days.

Tours

Hi Mark, yes all good thank you, both full time on the tours and training now , this trip is a bit different . no camping Hotels / Auberges all the way, testing the market to see how it goes.
We are using a Jeep Wrangler CRD AEV for this trip and hopefully all our Overlanding Treks . Looking forward to seeing how it goes, the Defender has done 60,000 in two years so thought we needed to share the work out.
Libby and Russ

Came over MH2 south from El Kebab via Imilchil on Thursday. Police told us impassable, but it was OK. Locals advised better in afternoon when snow-melt is not frozen on road, though it was -3.5º at the highest point, and a lot of snow on north side (not on the road).

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.
