I didn't reach Morocco this time in October due to the damper rod in the shock snapping on my bike, it ended up wedged under the armco barrier in Spain, and I went tumbling down the road at 60mph and was a bit battered.
However the rest of the group carried on and had to make several detours because of flooding, the guys at the petrol station at Remlia on the piste to Zagora advised against heading south (Azzy has been stuck there before for 24 hours on a ridge which became an island due to floods), wadi's on the Rekkam in full spate, one with a lorry on its roof further down the river. Very different to last October.
Sad to hear the reports about the quad bikes upsetting the locals. I have heard that it may not be too long before the big dunes at Merzouga may be out of bounds. Any body have any news on that please?
