UK green card extensions for Morocco have been difficult to get for years.

Moroccan prices have been the same for years: 1 month = 950MAD or 78 quid.

Tan Med is the port with the least (if not zero) hassle.
Nador is my second choice, if wanting to see the east.

Cheers for the information. It's beginning to look a little too expensive for me....

Just done a mixed journey,

Travelled from Norfolk to Folkestone, wild camped the night before the early crossing- free
Channel Tunnel folkestone to Calais: £39
Took D roads from Calais to Lourdes over 2.5 days, camped twice, 12 Euros per night.
Fuel cost £110. I know the frenchies have just lowered the speed limit from 90 to 80 kph, however most of the roads we plodded at 99kph and only saw about 10 speed cameras the whole way. Even the arctic trucks were cruising at over 90 kph.

Spent one week staying with family in French Pyrenees and then went over into Northern Spain.

Got a one way crossing on the Pont Aven, arrived back to UK on Tuesday. Single crossing with bike £190 each, £380 total, 2 bikes, 2 riders, one internal cheapo cabin. Crossing was great, saw whales, had a coffee in one of the cafes, but we went to the Spanish supermarkets (eventually found one that was open on a monday morning) and stocked up with enough food for 24hr crossing.

Luckily we had a cabin right in the middle of deck 5, as we hit a big storm. People in the more expensive cabins were being thrown out of bed all night long. Must have been over 100 bikes on board. We were 2hrs late getting into Portsmouth due to the storm, which made for an interesting ride home in the dark as my headlight doesn't really work.

I think If I was alone I would just pay for a reclining seat and lay out somewhere with sleeping bag, but for the two of us it was nice to get a cabin with en suite especially as we had been camping a lot.

I had to kick up a fuss about the bike being secured, the strap was so loose I could still pull my sheepskin off from under the strap. Also the deck hand pushed my bike into another bike and scraped his shiny plastic panniers.

Tip. Queuing to get on the ferry was a nightmare in the heat (especially with an air cooled bike!). Pull up in town, and bungee your bike trousers and jacket to the back of the bike before you get in the queue. They send you through to a canopy to wait for boarding in the shade, however even in 36c it was hot work, and I dread to think what it must have been like earlier this year when it was 48c in the heatwave.

All the paperwork for the temporary importation of the motorcycle is done on board the boat before you arrive. The process is quite straightforward, the Moroccan customs officers set up a desk in the boat and you show up with your passport and vehicle ownership document. They are pleasant people to deal with, they fully appreciate the value of tourism to Morocco.

You buy the insurance at a booth in the port, immediately after you get off the boat in Morocco. That is also a fairly straightforward procedure. Ignore the touts that sometimes hang around trying to direct you to one insurer or another.
