As much as Brittany ferries tried to stop us this year, after a long drive through France and Spain we managed to start out Morocco trip last Sunday.

The Orbat was- 3 HP2`s, 1 KTM 690, 1 KTM 640 and a TTR 600.
All followed up by our Landcruiser.

Currently enjoying a Beer by the pool in Tafraout and thought I would take 5 to post a few pics.

My support team helping me with the drive through France:D

Culture shock

The trip was certainly a culture shock.

I’ll never forget the poverty, smell, soiled clothes, crying babies, children running amok, the appalling dental care, atrocious sanitry conditions, the rudeness and general squalor on the trip.

Yep, that’s the last time I fly easyJet. :thumb

Back in the early 80s, and the proud owner of one of those new fangled G/Ss, I started dreaming of, and planning, a Saharan trip. Of course life (and unfortunately a death) got in the way..................





But fast forward 30 years, and those dreams (with the assistance of ABW planning :blagblah) were eventually realised :clap - I got to ride some dunes :clap

I'll not be forgeting this trip for a while :thumb

The ride to Zagora had a bit of everything: Water, sand trails, vast open plains, dunes, then more sandy trails which led to a surprise rocky Martian landscape, a puncture :hide, missing riders and finally, a fast blast on a graded road to find the sign post for the aeroport which tells you that the end is near and a cold beer will soon replace your Camelbak. :beer
