Direct track Tata > Mhamid
I am planing to go directly from Tata to Mhamid.
Something like this:

It seems to be Olafed too. I am particularly interested in your opinions ragarding the part between Tata and Mrimina.
Are there any restrictions nowadays? Has anyone done it recently?

I've tried several times to do that route, the area south of Tata across to south of Tissint is a military zone now and every time I try I get turned back.
Got to within 30km of Tata heading west last year before being stopped and given an escort back to the N12

Hi Tomek,
You need to Follow the N12 east from Tata and then turn off at N29˚50.569, W 7˚13.213.
Follow the well-defined track due south for about 20km to the small river crossing at N29˚39.849, 7˚12.697.
Turn east here to cross the river - there's a military checkpoint on the far side.
From here rejoin the main post heading east towards Lac Iriki, Erg Chegaga and Mhamid.
There are several further check point en route.
Happy trails,
Peter

That looks similar to MS8 from the book, as submitted by Warden (not done it myself) and which, as he says, tends not to work eastbound due to checkpoints.
Westbound tends to have more luck.
From Peter's waypoint down the N12 just before Mrimina, not a problem eastbound (done it myself).

I've tried east and west.
Heading west I got stopped and sent upto Tissint at N29 31.322 W7 26.889, frustration after all the checkpoints telling me I was ok to go all the way to Tata up until that point.
Heading East we got stopped at N29 32.099 W7 51.119, then after a detour stopped at N29 35.747 W7 45.497 and finally at N29 43.095 W7 39.590 (Sidi Rezzoug). This was just a few KM from the N12 and they wanted to send us back into the area they didn't want us in all the way to Tata. Persuaded them to lets us through eventually
