London to Morocco/Tunisa March '04
I am looking for a travel partner for a 2/3 week trip in the middle of March.
Either to the southern and eastern bits of Morocco, or to play around in Tunisia for a bit.
As I've been to both countries before, I have a good idea of where I'd like to go, but won't put anything to paper until I find someone to do this trip with.

I am currently riding a 1988 Tenere and live in Wimbledon.

I'm interested in going to Morocco in March. It will be my first trip outside Europe so it will be good to travel with someone who has been there before.

I ride an XT600E

Gidday Geoff,

Same plans here, must get out to north africa this spring... Im in doubt between an organised 10day crash with some other folks or going 'independent'.... But since my dommie is shafted will need to sort a bike first.

How are you preps going?

Sounds good,
Tony we should meet up for a armed with a few maps. Maybe once my bike is fixed I'll head out to Surrey for a test run and can meet you there.
Gozell, slight setback with an oil 'gush', but shouldn't be too big a problem.

Where in the Netherlands are you?
Geoff

Let me know when you want to meet up.

I've got a few minor mods to make to the bike but they won't take long.

I want to go to Tunisia! There is a small matter of me continuing into Libya. Slightly long detour via Mali and Niger the other way, ha ha.

Hi,
I'm also planning a trip this March down to Morocco but I'm taking a lazy route around NW Spain along the Pilgrim route prior to sailing to Morocco. This will be my first time to Morocco on the Africa twin XRV750. I would not mind the company of a seasoned traveller in the country. I live in the Lincolnshire area and would be looking to leave after the 15th March and I would be looking for around 5 days in Morocco. My bike is just about ready so the rest is in the lap of the Gods

Best Regards
Paul M
