Hi Everyone ,

Anyone interested in a trip from the UK to Morocco the last 2 weeks in October.

Ferry to Spain -> Down to Morocco -> Ferry back to UK.

Routes , accommodation and dates are flexible at the moment if you have any preference.

I ride an Africa Twin and am happy to ride trails or tarmac.

Interested ?

Chris.

Trails will be fine on an AT. But beware of dry river beds (oueds)... especially if you ride solo.

Thanks for the Info.

Great Pic.

Hi I will be in morocco around that time. Am leaving Ronda on the morning of the 17th Oct and then an early ferry across the straits stopping in asilah for the evening. Rough route is down towards Meknes stopping in azrou then towards er chebi, across to the todra gorge, up the Tiz en ticka, Marrakesh, across to Essaouira before heading back up the coast. On a new multistrada so no real off roading for me as the bill if I drop it will make me weep
Happy to meet up somewhere or ride together for a while what ever suits.......its my third time on a bike there so trying to see the bits I missed before

I'll PM you my contact details.

Hi I would be interested in this trip. Have holidays booked between 6th till 24th though. Ride R1200GS. Zero off-road experience but should be ok with light trails, dirt roads etc. Just like to add zero touring experience if that matters.

[cjt120476]

OK - Great.

So the other Chris gets to morocco around the 17th. I think I'll get there around the same time.

We are planning to meet up for a chat sometime. Where you from Mutz?


I've toured all over the Europe but never in Morocco and Chris has been a few times so the no experience should not be an issue.

I am up in Rochdale, near Manchester.

I would be interested in joining up for some/all the trip. Im not sure if I can fit in the time yet, but it might work out for me. I have done a couple of France, Spain and Portugal trip during the last 12 months on my own. Currently on XT660Z bought specifically with Morocco in mind. Currently based in Norwich and wrong side of 50 yrs old.

Hi Chris,

I was planning to do Spain and onto Morocco at a similar time. I ride a KTM 990R, I've done a decent amount of scrabbling around on mud but no sand but wouldn't be too worried. Its a bit early for me to fix exact dates due to my work, but keep me posted if you've got room for one. I'm based in Lancaster.

Cheers

Adam

Well the original Chris who started this thread no longer wants to do the trip.... Not sure where that leaves the other fella who was meant to go with him. I am still going, arriving in maroc on the 17th Oct. If anyone who has replied to this thread wants to meet up over there drop me an email, it's on one of my earlier posts.

[Mutz]

Yes the original chris has unfortunately had to back down due to work commitments I believe. I am unable to change my holidays and need to be back in the UK 24th Oct latest. With my holidays starting on the 6th.

Hi Mutz
if you email your rough route we should be able to hook up for a couple of days or meet up for a kofta somewhere........
