week in Morocco
Hi
I have week free at end of April, beginning of June and I'm thinking of a week in Morocco. I live in Spain, so it's an easy trip across the water from here. I'll be riding a tiger 800, so looking for some trails but not serious off road stuff. Will be my first trip to Morocco, so some company might be good.
You got any specific dates in mind?
Phil

This post has been moved to a new thread. It was originally put in a thread about Mongolia, a country on a completely different continent.

A week in Morocco from 30th May
Hi everyone,
I'm planning a short trip to Morocco at the end of May, mainly to test bike and gear before going on a longer trip. Be riding a Triumph Tiger 800, hopefully getting off the tarmac but no dunes etc.
Anyone care to join me?

Hi Phil
Did you go in the end?
I am hoping to go at some point this year - any info/routes/places to see-stay etc would be gratefully received!
Cheers

Hi John,
No, haven't been yet, missed the opportunity to go this month, so its looking like September now. Chris Scott's book "Morocco Overland" is well worth reading, lots of practical advice in there regarding the entry procedures at the port, routes and the best times of the year to go.
I don't like to have an exact plan or route, I will decide that day by day, probably avoiding the big cities and finding accommodation as I go. I've never been to Morocco, so don't know exactly what to expect, there's so much conflicting advice out there, the only way is to go and see it for yourself.
Once I have my dates firmed up, I will post it up here to see if I can find a riding buddy, quite prepared to go it alone, but would prefer riding in a group of 2-4.
Phil
