Just back from a productive week in the High Atlas.
The Tizi Ouano pass is now all sealed from Tilmi to Agoudal.
They've finished a road linking Imilchil SW to Route H9. This is now the TMT realigned as eastern H9 to Bou Azmou is likely to gradually go ' BLV'.
We also reversed H3 from Skoura to the Demnate road. Despite the book's predictions they've not linked Ait Hamza with Ichbaken through the Oued Tassaout gorge: it's still part riverbed or shelf cut into landslides for a few km but nothing an overloaded old Merc van can't crawl over.
Talking of which, the Demnate road (N23) north of Toufrine is still in a right old state, if not worse than a year ago. The diggers are chipping away – alternates for miles between 10-m wide tarmac and single-track rubble, but only likely to upset campervans and sports cars.
