I'm riding my 650 strom from Holland to Kenia at the end of January 2016, I'm interested in joining.

I like to do a few weeks in Morocco and hopefully (depending on the weather) ride as much of the Atlas mountains as possible. My route is not really planned, just get to Kenia.

I'm flexible in dates too. My aim is to be in Gibraltar as early at the end of January as possible, depends on my job, preparing my bike and renting out my house and/or moving my stuff.

I have a stopover for about two days in Algeciras to change my tires into more dirt orientated ones. Then cross to Tanger med.

From Tanger med. I have no fixed plan, now that's freedom! Just zigzag Morocco and than into Mauritania.

I'm in the fase of applying for a carnet de passage etc.

East-west
Hey, I looked at going via the east but it seemed too difficult (currently in Georgia/Turkey and heading to Africa). Think I'll be in Morocco around Christmas time but could be convinced to go east if someone had more luck than I did figuring it out. Also, you guys going east - brrrrrr gotta ride across Europe and Turkey in January? A bit cold...

Cheers
Regie
