Hi
Hope the font of all knowledge things Morrocan can help.
I am going to Morocco with a couple of guys off the forum and the route takes in some 900km of off road, I wanted some up to date info if I can get it on the routes.
The first is Chris Scott's designation MH1. His book and the net tell me that from Agoudal to Midelt some of it is sealed. Does anyone know how much and the general condition of the rest. And there is also the section from Agoudal to the Dades Gorge hairpins how hard is the piste there.
I could go round to Rich and take the sealed road to Agoudal and down through the Todra and meet them at Boumalne du Dades.
The second is the route MS6 from Chris's book. Merzouga to Tagounite
It looks a long hard day to me so I was thinking that I might go round from Merzouga to Rissani/Alnif on the N12 desert highway and then pick up the N9 down to Zagora and Tagounite. This looks like it is sealed all the way so any feedback on that would be interesting.
I am a reasonably fit man in my sixties on a NC700X with road tyres and I have done some roads/pistes in Morocco before which I think are called "graded" I did,nt find them difficult.
I could fit some enduro type tyres if you think that would help,but with a 160 back tyre my choice would be limited.
We plan to go this year in April.
Appreciate any comments/advice
