Wicklow - Morocco (via Santander) Easter 2010
Hello All,
Having not had a propper bike tour since 2006, excluding blasts to Wales, I feel I am due a trip. Inspired by all the tales of easy accessable adventure in Morocco I have decided to see what it is all about. I plan to go this easter getting the ferry from Portsmouth to Santander on either Sunday 21th or Sunday 28th of March and returning 3 weeks later, thus making optimum use of the Easter work holidays. In Morocco I prefer to avoid big cities and will probably get the ferry from Malaga to Nador. I would like to camp out a few nights and try as many pists as possible nothing too extreme but hopefully just a taste of what Morocco has to offer, including:
Morocco: Stairway to Heaven and other innovative desert structures - ADVrider I am sure there are plenty of people planning simillar trips around the same time. Here are two guys on the Hubb planning a trip for April: http://www.horizonsunlimited.com/hub...l-2010-a-47892 If anyone out there is interested in accompanying me for some or all of the trip please let me know. I will be using a 2002 KLR 650 for the trip. Here she is trying to do some "desert practice" in the Irish snow: http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_UnQi41IYoB...0/P1050890.JPG |
Hi Orujo,
I'm planning an almost identical trip leaving from just over the Wicklow mountains in north Kildare. Unfortunately due to work and study commitments I can't leave until the end of May at the earliest, and considering the temperatures in Morocco it looks like Sept/Oct for me. But hey give me a shout if you get delayed or feel like postponing for a few months... Enjoy, Pete |

Hi all, thanks to everybody that responded to my post.
The trip went well and I got to meet up with some riders from Ukgsr thanks to Stef's post. All went well and the trip was everything I expected but left me with a longing for more. If anyone is interested or wants more information I did a bit of a write-up here: "Tick the box" Ireland to Moroccon tour on a KLR650 - ADVrider |
