Chris, I'm booked on the Portsmouth/Santender ferry Oct 17. Should be in Morocco 19-20th. No firm plan but hoping to get to Dakhla and maybe Dakar if ebola situation allows. I'm on a 650 single... Paths may cross.

I'll keep an eye out for a English campervan and a Pan. I'm on an xCountry 650 with TT panniers. It will probably be 19 October when I get to Morocco but will go down the coast.

I'll be in Maroc from 27th Sept for about 4 weeks. Planning to ride from Tangier Med over the Middle Atlas towards Er Rachidia then west to Agadir airport to meet my g'friend. Will be two up for 12 days around Todra, Zagora and Sidi Ifni before returning to Tangier. Riding a white 650 Versys.......would be good to meet some fellow Hubbers

Hey Dommiek, doing the same, arriving on the 30th Sept. in Tangiers. Most likely down through the middle and spent some time south and east of Marrakesh. Dropped you an email (as well as the ´the Warden´). Would be nice to meet up.
Cheers,
Noel

Hi, I'm hoping to be travelling across to Tanger Med on Sat or Sun (6/7 Oct). Big black Defender with a roll cage. Plan is to head down to Ouarzazate then wander about south of there. Sounds like some of it might be a bit rough due to weather?
