Two weeks to go before our group of six 1150 GSs set off for our trip of more than three weeks to Morocco. 
We'll be in Morocco for around 16 days, calling at the Cascades d'Ouzard waterfalls, two nights in Marrakech and intend to ride many of the pistes around the Tafroute region, from Taliouine to Zagora via Foum Zguid. We'll spend a couple of nights camped out in the desert en route. Over to Tinerhir taking in the Valley of Roses and Gorges, ride the route which has become known on this site as the 'Tinerhir loop'.
Then meet my friend Aziz who is based in Erfoud, we ride out across the desert area to an Auberge on the edge of Erg Chebbi just to the north of Merzouga, here we'll chill out with a couple of days off the bike and take an overnight camel ride to a desert oasis have food cooked for us and sleep in a Berber tent amongst the sand dunes. Bliss.
If we manage to ride the beasts back to the Auberge without being savaged
we'll have a 4WD tour all the way around Erg Chebbi, almost in Algeria 
meeting the nomadic Touaregs etc.
Hopefully we'll be rested for the next leg of our trip north to Tarifa in southern Spain and north again for a day or so in the Picos de Europa before getting pissed on the ferry from Santander.
As I have done before, I intend to film the trip with footage from both my camcorder and on board bullet camera and let the lads have a copy of the DVD, this time hopefully with some editing
And we'll not be the only ones, Steptoe's group
will hopefully be there for a couple of days and we may be able to meet up for a beer. 
And I know of a couple of other parties also going this April . It could get busy, Morocco is becoming increasingly popular
If there is sufficient interest I 'may' run this trip again in the autumn we'll see.
Anyone interested in should be a confident rider, with a moderate level of fitness (for a GS'er
)
Oh and if you're not going this year, have a good day in the office
