Guy above has Chris Scott: Morocco Overland book and still asks unnecessary questions. Does he read it? I know, he did not. Major question is does he was able to manage easy MS-9? Answer is NO. He turned back after second short sand section from Anezal towards Ouarzazate, ... So he should avoid in big loop MS-8.

Short explanation from my UK friend: ... we were in landcruisers and we knew about the issues with the routes. We went down to the far west of the Draa valley, hard days but spectacular. We also had some great days in the big dunes ... not suitable for GS though, too rough with boulders and big rocks. Also rivers are deep (up to the windscreen on the landcruiser) so not passable by bike.

wtf? no sand on MS9 when I did it last December

Adrej, we were in a Landcruiser and the only difficulty was washed out river crossings between Beni Tajite and Mengoub, most were gone but there was always a route through. I'm not a biker but can't see that there would be any problems

I mean riverbed crossing not dunes on MS-9. I was there this year June/July and Mike on MS-8 month ago.

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.
