Tried to follow this route. Turned off the tar just after Afellendra village north of Adgz, over a Draa bridge and along an unusually good but little used track into the hills. No vehicle tracks to speak of but there have been storms.
Tracks came and went on Garmin Topo and OSM maps.
All good – classic rugged Sarhro scenery – until just after a road camp (3 blokes, bulldozer, tent) 27kms in at a 1600-m pass which looked like the high point.
Beyond the camp the track got rougher and overgrown and within a few 100 metres petered out altogether, but with piles of rocks possibly indicating where a new descent might be cut.
Not even a mule track continued. All cross country. From here about 18kms to Bou Skour.
By now the skies were turning black and rumbling so I didn’t want to hang around much longer.

Hard to think MTBs come this way (as I was told) as they usually have a sag wagon.
But the route did conform to the ‘question mark’ profile mentioned earlier in this thread.
It has the feeling a new or second attempt at an unfinished track which is slowly creeping north over the jebel to link up near Bou Skour.
On the way back (there was snow towards MH15) I passed a dump truck bringing up rubble, so something must be happening.
That Merc van video (mentioned earlier) must have been on something else. Probably the classic Sarhro crossing north of Nekob (soon to be sealed).

Coming back though the northern outskirts of Adgz, streams were now sweeping across the road. People were out watching. I thought I’d gone another way or it was some dam release, but it was flowing right among the lanes.
Turned out, heading west out of Agdz towards Tasla palmerie, a sizeable river was running down this usually dry valley. Never seen that before here. Again, villagers watching.
Must have been the same flood which swept into north of Adgz between me going up and coming back.
