A Trans Morocco Trail is an idea I’ve had for ages, and covering 20,000km last winter updating my M4 book made plotting a brilliant, see-it-all trail just a day’s work.

https://TransMoroccoTrail.org/

It’s the same deal your TET etc: verified tracklogs and waypoints free to download off a regularly updated TMT master map. After that it's all up to you: do it all; do bits leaving your vehicle there or with rentals; plan it minutely for months on end, or just wing it.
Like the NC500, it is of course nothing more than a network of long existent public rights of way threaded together and given a catchy name starting with ‘Trans’. Like the book, the TMT is not a hardcore off-road challenge because TIA and there can be enough of that out there. Tarmac stages may run for an hour or more, but these are great mountain roads which are all part of the overland adventure.

The TMT runs in two stages:
• Nador over the Rekkam to Erg Chebbi <900km
• Chebbi to the Atlantic via mountain and desert: 2400km.

Stage One: Erg Chebbi to Cap Draa Atlantic (Sections K-Z; 2400km) will drop on October 1, just in time for this season.
I've chosen what I consider to be the best contiguous pistes from the 80+ routes in the new M4 book (see sig) that will be doable on the widest range of bikes and in any car with clearance.
Each section will get a summary on TMT.org but some – like the Erg Chegaga perimeter track – will be highly unsuited to unfit riders on tall, heavy, overloaded motos during a hot spell – which these days can run from April to October.
Road or trail there's always an easier way round that will often be as good, or a way to recover. No need to wear yourself out on the way to Cap Draa unless you want to.
I estimate 14 days to cover K to Z comfortably.



You don't need to buy my M4 book (pre-order for Xmas – see sig below) to follow the TMT, but there's another ~15,000km of routes, as well as descriptions which include long TMT stages. Could be useful as a tracklog is just a line across the landscape.

TMT collaborator Ed Gill will be recce'ing the eastern ~900km over the Rekkam plateau this autumn, so the full Trail from Cap Nador Mediterranean to Cap Draa Atlantic should be up for the New Year.
