Done the run up Todhra to Agoudal R703 and down R704 to Dades several times on loaded gsa1200lc.....cracking run and stunning scenery on top. Piste from Agoudal to Msemrir but easy piste......I put a video on Facebook ...Moroccan Motorcycle Tours.....or www.moroccanmotorcycletours.co.uk

Don't be put off by the flood damage (long repaired) or the river fording (new bridge), it's an easy route on the R703: E11 Todra Descent

Hi,

Did 703 and 704 about 3 weeks ago.

Todra - Agoudal is perfect tarmac.

Agoudal - Dades: - first 40 km is a decent gravel and earth/soil road, after asphalt.


Ride safe,
Adrian

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.
