Great pic - as many camel footprints as tyre tracks. Love it.

Some of my routes.... see the one between Gara Medouar, Rissani then South West, shown Purple here.
Thanks, went through a nice date plantation south of Rossini.
Gara Medeour was well hidden till we got up close but the wind too strong and blowing sand too thick to get out.
Stopped about 40km west to camp, thinking of the route between Tazzarine and Zagora tomorrow, have you done that?
Sounds like you might be at M'Ssici? Camp Auberge Azurite?
From there 12km West you could turn left and head to Sidi Ali, then turn right and head across Lac Maider and down to .
After there head down to M'hamid and West across Erg Chegaga and Lac Iriki.
Looking at my past tracks I don't appear to have done all of that one.
We were off the road but flies were too bad so moved and have just parked in the yard of a restaurant, nice folk
Thanks, I’ll have a look at the map

So, doing my duty as onsite Moroccan reporter, here is:
For Dub because you need a daily reassurance of life in the deep south
Doc, I’ve bought a wool jacket for £15 just to stop you moaning
Tim: some geological feature, firstly hidden by fast moving geological features then closer up

Looks like you are using Gaia maps there too? Also my choice for Morocco.
Yes, impressed with them, excellent detail and seem accurate, some wee tracks today and yesterday were certainly spot on
After the recent rains a lot of the dry river beds are no longer dry so any route crossing one has to be taken carefully, especially alone.
It should dry out more tonight hopefully which will be good. See what happens tomorrow, look forward to it.

Keep an eye out for anyone scouting for next years Dakar rally routes from here on in, we're out there in January. Having been earlier this year we stopped at the same spot in April this year as one of your earlier pictures, we were not expecting so much snow. 
Morocco is a very cold country that has very hot weather
Up there it’s close to zero at night now so plenty snow and ice to come
That’s about the same spot, you’re obviously as skilled as me in selecting a photo opportunity

The bottom of the valley in the background would be about the same, including the missing bit of piste
Just a follow up on this one.
As of today Chegaga and Lac Iriki is ok but Lac Maider is flooded and very muddy so keep we'll clear of that one.
Isn't malc, what we would call our inner chimp

He’s knocking on the door but I’m afraid to ask him
Screenshot from WeatherPro, the tracks in the area had issues before and these cells are moving ENE which doesn’t help us moving WSW! I suspect head to Zaroga and take it from there.
Have a brew and make a plan

If you want sand and wild camping after Zagora, the latter part of this route is a good one.
Once past M’hamid the fun begins, on to Erg Chegaga and Lac Iriki
