Hi all,
I'm in Morocco now (Zagora) and during the past week have passed through Midelt and Erfoud/Merzouga. All seeems completely normal from what I see, just less tourists than usual. Tomorrow, I'm heading over to Ourzazate and intend to stay in the country for a couple more weeks.
Note for Chris Scott - I did MS5 yesterday and sadly there's now only 30km of real piste left in the middle of this one. The rest is all graded now, but having said that, the new graded road is completely washed away in 4 places!
regards,
Andy

Thanks for the update Andy, makes sense to improve or even seal that section - and there are still plenty of great pistes west of there.

Route MS5
The graded road runs east/west, the flood waters run north south so nature will win in the end. Don't drive this road at night as you'll not see where the road's been washed out until it's too late.
If you leave to the south, you can pick up an old track for a while which heads west towards Foum Zguid along the foothills of Jebel Bani. Just head for the patch of sand dunes. It's a bit rough in places and you'll need to pick your way across the oued but it's much more interesting than the road.
Heading back out end of next week!
Happy trails,
Jojo
