Anyone one been past this Dam recently? Marokko-Topo map shows a track running very close, but if you look on Google Earth the image shows the track flooded. There are other tracks I can see so it's not a show stopper, was just wondering.

Google Earth: 32°20'21.41"N 1°21'9.11"W

Base Camp: N32 20.357, W01 21.152

Cheers

Thanks for that Tim, I plan to be there in April 2017, so I'll let you know what it's like, the images on Google Earth are dated 2016, so I guess it's flooded, I've got a couple of friends in Beni Tadjit, I asked them about it yesterday.
 
I had a look at images on satellite view on Google Maps and as you say, it seems there's a lot of tracks avoiding the dam area that might be an alternative.

Thanks for that Tim. My friend who lives in Beni Tadjit says you can get to the dam but most locals keep away from it, there are alternative routes he said. He also said it's not a very scenic route, but I'd like to do it all the same. here's my route.

I also got this tweet from Chris Scott on Saturday with reference to his book Morocco Overland.
"The map on p104 has reservoir in the wrong place - about an inch further N. "
