Morroco in March

I have never been out of the country since 1973, I find I have about 20/21 days leave to take in March, my son has a late Bonneville and he made the suggestion take that and go down Morocco. From Northumberland to Plymouth then ferry to northern Spain then onto Morocco, Marrakech, and atlas mountains, is it feasable, weather wise

I'm heading out in ten days time, staying for several weeks. March is a good time to go to Morocco, it is likely to be chilly still in early mornings and evenings, but lovely and warm during the day (providing it's sunny which it is most of the time). The middle of Spain can be cold, check the overnight temperatures at Valladolid as a sample.

Hi
Just pack plenty of warm clothes I travelled that route in march and most of northern Spain was below freezing over the high spots and once you hit the atlas you will encounter snow at altitude for sure which makes for dramatic scenery but bleak riding conditions so just pack more than you need with the clothing as you will need it!

Membership - help keep us going!

Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love. To keep it going and a roof over our heads, we run events all over the world with the help of volunteers; we sell inspirational and informative DVDs; we have a few selected advertisers; and we make a small amount from memberships.

You don't have to be a Member to come to an HU meeting, access the website, or ask questions on the HUBB. What you get for your membership contribution is our sincere gratitude, good karma and knowing that you're helping to keep the motorcycle travel dream alive. Contributing Members and Gold Members do get additional features on the HUBB. Here's a list of all the Member benefits on the HUBB.
