You may get stuck at the Mh end, but I guess you know that.

Ok just what I need to know....what because of sand crossings or what? Where were the photos taken and what time of the year? Tim

Hello Tim,

there is an german guy, Uwe Schmitz, who is every year in the Sahara with his 2 CV.

Have a look, some pages in german about Uwe and his 2 CV, but many pictures:

TBH, first time in a 2WD I would try something else. Even before the sands your car will get a hammering east of Sidi Whatsit.

The link is not my website, but it looks like winter to me!

From running the cursor over the pics, they were taken the end of December 2008.

Those must be my pics then... :-)

2 weeks marocco tour during christmas/newyear a few weeks ago. Did this tour: Ceuta, Chefchaouen, Fez, Midelt, Merzouga (erg chebbi), piste direction Zagora but had to backtrack because of mud, Tinerhir, Gorge du Todra, Imilchil, Meknes, Chefchaouen

Foum Zguid - M'hamid: I did it in a 4WD a few years ago. Never did it in the 2cv though. From what I remember from the piste it should be possible but you will get a hammering and probably struggle a bit in the sandy parts. Consider fitting a bashplate under the engine/sump/gearbox

2WD and pistes... always think twice ofcourse and seek local advice...
