Just uploading some video from September's trip- it's going on the Moto Morocco website but I thought you might like a look too :)

No 1; A short clip of a fantastic ride down through a palmery near Ait Monsour, about 35K south of Tafraoute

No 2:
The descent from a cafe high in the mountains on a piste between Tinerhir (Tingher) and Nekob.

There's a nice lady up there with a gold tooth and a very young baby who bears a remarkable resemblance to a certain UKGSer :augie

The huge pillar mountains in the background on the way down may look familiar- the area has been used many times in various spaghetti westerns and desert based films :)

Hurry up ................ :bounce1

Second vid rejected for being too long, even though it was under the mb limit :blast

Redoing it now :thumb2

Nigel....it's an awesome place- 40 degrees outside the gorge, mid 20's in it and a lovely ride- over an hour of piste through to the end of it and stunning scenary all through it :thumb2

Dean......glad ya got the DVD- that was quick!! :thumb
You're in the next one, wiggling your arse on the AT :D
 
It's still processing as I'm posting this, but hopefully it'll have worked this time.

The descent from the top of Tizi N Tazzert towards Nekob, part 1

It's hard to see the piste surface, but the movement in the camera gives you some idea of how rough it was- the camera was stuck on the side of my helmet!- watch the screen bounce in relation to the ground on some sections !:eek

I tried it on the bike, but it was just too much for it, you couldn't see a damn thing on the film, so the Helmet mount is the best place I could find to have it :)

EDIT....the rattle you can hear in that descent one is my bash plate that was rather damaged by some big rocks a few days earlier....I had it welded up properly in Zagora and it's rock solid now, but it was bloody noisy for a few days :D



I'm going to try making a platform with springs under it before the next trip so I can try that...I'd like to get it bike mounted if possible just for convenience really.

Next vid on way later this morning :thumb2
 
There's a road out of Ouazazarte that goes to Demnate...it's a nice road, pretty and twisty but it's a wee bit boring.

About 25 miles south of Demnate though, there are some really nice pistes that go off into the hills towards a lake and a dam- this is one section from one of those pistes.
