Pre event shakedown
We (Touratrail) are located less than three hours from the departure point of Almeria, so if you are interested in a shake down before the RV at Almeria we could sort out some routes where as you'd get plenty of miles off-road. Apart from sand dunes the terrain would be similar to what you're going to encounter in Marrocco especially as you get closer to Cabo de Gata & Almeria itself.
Also for usefull help and advice David Lambeth is your man in the UK.
