Another jolly :augie Lucky bugger
Looking forward to meeting you all on 29th with bright warm sunshine (just like today :blast)
 
Last year I took the ferry from Portsmouth to Santander. 36hrs

Ferry across to Ceuta, about an hour or so.

Getting through customs and into Morocco, about 2 hours or so.

Just a note for your plans; the Santander voyage should be around 23hrs dependant upon the the sea state.

If it helps you make your decision I can tell you that you will have no problems whatsoever in Morocco. You do not need vaccinations, the documents you need are the ones for yourself (passport) and the V5 for your bike. You buy insurance upon arrival and get a temporary import visa for your bike at customs: Do not lose these on the trip...EVER. It is probably a good idea to buy yourself some travel insurance if things go wrong for whatever reason.

The Moroccans will look after you like Kings. Don't eat the rice and keep an eye on what you're being charged for fuel if the Geezer doesn't reset the pump and tries to charge you for everything which has just gone through.

You will have a ball if you change your mind. :thumb

Besides how many GS's are you expecting to see on a saturday morning in the middle of London?

Crumbles

Snow hasn't lifted here all day and in a while i have to go to work (after I've defrosted the car again :tears)

tallest, greyest, riding the scruffiest 1100 you'll see, with a very nice set of Vern's panniers on, which have doubled the value of the bike.

Funny that because I've taken that route around 4/5 times in the last few years and it's always been 36hrs.

I'm not saying you're wrong, and I don't know who you sailed with but the four times I've sailed between the northen Spanish ports and Portsmouth this year have all been around 24hrs with Brittany Ferries.

If I'm lucky I might seen you on an early Spring crossing. :beerjug:

Can give some advice about what/where/how long/ time taken to get to and from different places, waypoints, distances etc etc if needed. . if not needed i'll just eat my food and take the piss. :D
