Steptoes Moroccan Dash 2

[Decster]

I made a start, then hit the wall = Writers Block.

Dont mean to be demanding, but it is just that the standard on this site, set by yourself and others is high and it is always worth waiting for and reading a few times.

So up and over the wall and '..do one'

Nah i can wait......I know it will be worth it, like a good pint of

Now where's darkhorse

how many?

No one has answered the burning question:

How many went out and how many came back together ?

I got back home about 6pm tonight - did the dash back from Spain on my own. Just heard from Steptoe that he managed to get to Rouen tonight so he should be home on Monday. Not heard about the rest.

10 left calais, 1 dropped put at Madrid (see earlier post) all other 9 met up at Algeciras. Another three joined us there. Making 12 cossing to Morocco.

One went his own way in Morocco - rest stayed together (more or less), 2 picked up a speeding "fine" (!!!). Then Steptoe's puncture and us all making different arrangements for the "coming home".

An absolutely terrific trip - many thanks to Steptoe and all the others that made it such a great time.

He was going to be putting a brief report up wasn't he?

France is big. So is Spain.

Fantastic trip though. Mountains, waterfalls, wind and rain, camping, bendy roads, hot and dusty, cold and wet, muddy, food, beer, fast roads, traffic, Harleys in the hills, scoots in the cities, donkeys, camels, chickens, goats, cows and sheep. All on the menu.

Sharing rooms 5 or 6 in each. Room for the bikes indoors too. Camping out in a breaze for some!

Do it again!

Been mad busy since getting back - will sort soon

How do you put multiple pictures in the one post??

Must get around to putting this on my bike as well - didn't want to tempt fate putting it on while away

Just keep adding!

Me too and another busy week ahead. Bit of a lull after that though.

Click on the browse, select the pic from wherever you have them filed and then click upload all from the manage attachments button. Something like that anyway.

I guess you got back ok?

Get the busted key out of the lock ok?

Picture size?

Just tried to post a few pictures, but they are exceeding the file size for uploads. How do i reduce the information size without seriously chopping the picture?

Fancy a trip out then?

Thinking about N Europe (Scandinavia) and up to St Petersberg if you fancy that?? Bit slower this time though.

[Skippy]

Dunno yet....

Thought maybe towards the end of summer, late Sept'ish???

Swimbo (What is that anyway?) will want the week or so on a beach before that I guess.

Oh, hang on. Last time we were at our favourite little hotel in Greece, a bunch of bikes pulled in and stayed a night. How long does it take to get to Greece anyway? Just out of curiosity.

Skippy

You mean you stop in a hotel...... You dissapoint me old chap

I thought you were all rufty tufty and stayed under canvas or will Mrs Skippy not be too happy in Greece

I could go on about tent poles and erections but I won`t bother.....

I`mup for trip in the Autumn and don`t mind where particuarly. I was thinking about another trip to Morocco but go much further South. Scandinavia sounds good though.....
