Just done the MS Route from Zagora to Rissani but cant remember the number. All route ok but crossing the oued ziz was not possible due to water levels and mud so we stayed on the west of the river and headed north (annoying some moped faux guides as we did and crossed further up, find you way north to a small village then follow the piste east across the ziz. Marked on Olaf so should be clear which one

Water levels should drop in a few days and the mud dry out

ME4 great route but almost every river crossing is out by the end of along day I was sick of it. LOt of thanks to the mystery truck tracks we followed, I'm guessing it was a beast by some of the route choices. Not one for a 2WD at the moment

Thanks for all the updates, TW. ME4 in the rain sounds like hard work. Even in the dry it took some negotiating. Point us to some pix when you get a chance.

Just returned from Atlas. Last year we tried to ride from Anergui to Cathedrale but we were stopped by the river. This year road was doable but there was 9 of us, water was 1.5 meter high. Other pistes we rode were in good condition - from Demnate to Cathedrale...
