Trail riding in Morocco 9 days in May
 
Im looking at traveling to Morocco from uk in late april early May for 9 days trail riding, I'll be getting the ferry to Spain then bike down to the ferry to Morocco, same root back,
I've get a bunch of trail routes that total upto about 2000 miles,
If you fancy joining up, undecided accomadition until closer to the time as I'm planing traveling fairly light with only a saddle bag
I'll be riding ether a xrv750 or a crf1000
Thanks G

We can only see how it goes, looks like there's still a long way to go if you are planing on using that bike
I did 10 days around marocco last year on mostly trails all the way down to the dunes, looking at doing the same route or open to suggestions,
Soon as I figure it out I'll post a picture of the route I took last time

Would like to join you, just me on a CRF 1000L. Do you have dates in mind including the journey there and back.

Thanks John

Hello John
I've got loads of trails and routes about 2000 miles worth for Morocco, I can send you GPX files closer to the time if you have a garmin, I use a Montana 650.
I'm thinking about 9 days in Morocco and the beginning of May seems the best time as the weather would be nice in the south then.
I'm happy to do the ferry to Bilbo then ride down to south Spain so maybe ad 3 days ether way using the ferry, if riding to Spain then maybe ad 4 days ether way,
I'm easy as to how to do this,,,,
Thanks
G,
I'll send you a pm

When I did it last year early May it was perfect

Ferry from Plymouth Sunday 30th April return Wednesday 16th May cost £309
Ferry from Algiers 3rd May to ted med return ted med 12th May cost £92
On the uk crossing I'm booking a seat only to keep cost down but if I can arrange for some one to travel with I don't mind the cabin share,
I'm taking the van to Plymouth with the bike so I can pick up some one on the way. I'll leave the van near Plymouth, if anyone lives near there and no where I can store the van that would be great.
That's the plan.
Thanks

Traveling From the northeast, Tyne and Wear m8
I’ve just been reminded that it’s ower wedding anniversary 3rd May
So I’m now traveling 6th May return 23rd May cost ferry £340 the ferry to Morocco is the same.

Dadd 16 Dec 2017 19:57

Because I’m taking the van to Plymouth with the bike inside I’ve decided that my chosen bike is my Honda crf 250 rally, I’ll be traveling as light as possible, I may camp on the way down Spain then I will book hotel south Spain leave most of my stuff there till I return from Morocco,
As it’s so cheap in Morocco I’ll be stopping in accommodation so all I’ll be carrying is a change of clothes and tools.

Trail riding in Morocco 9 days in May
 
Me and three friends are planing to do the same between 21 April and 1 may. Will be riding two prepared xt600e, a Gs1200 Adv and a xtz1200. Maybe we will meet somewhere. We all live in Portugal so we will leave on the 21 and sleep in Maroco in the same day.
It’s my 4th year in a row and this is the best time to ride in Marrocos. Not to warm, no to cold or rainy (but still in 2017 it was raining and windy as hell). It normally the optimal time of the year.

Pardel I think you will be back when I leave, May is the best time as you said the weather will be perfect, last year I went end of April.

All ferries and accomadition booked except Morocco accomadition, i will play that one as I go,
There's two of us traveling and I'm happy to take one more, three is good
Me on a crf 250 rally
Other guy on a tenere 660
I can ad another to the accomadition Upto the end of April no problem.
The ferry to Morocco shouldn't be a problem adding another, only problem I can see is the ferry from Plymouth to Santander it may fill up before april and the price starts to go up from now,
Any more info then please pm me and I can speak on the phone as that's easier than messaging.
Thanks

I've pre booked accommodation for four guys as we had four persons, one guy may dropped out because he hurt his hip and waiting on the doctors out come, if anyone would like to be first reserve just in case the guy can’t make it. it's more or less all arranged, just need to book ferry from Plymouth to Santander.
We are on
Two Honda crf 250 rally
One Yamaha 660 tenere
It would suit a mid range bike,
If interested then pm
Thanks

Well the Moroccan trip has came round quite quickly bike is ready all spares are laid on the spare bed ready to pack with everything else, traveling light is the plan only taking a water proof roll bag,
The weather has not been kind this year winter been a log one, just managed to get the miles on the rally to get it serviced at honda before I leave.
