MA6 was amazing Tarmac apart from a slighty rude french group. We were heading North on th elong climb and saw them heading down so waited at a wide spot, opened the bonnet to let the engine cool a bit and only 1 of the first 6 vehicles checked to see if we were ok. Tour leader sailed past with his nose in the air, no effort to thank us for waiting or that he had another 9 ehicle to come.

Took a slight deadend once we hit the tarmac but ended up in Taliouine. Did MH7 today stunned by the route, tricky in places after recent rain damage but we got through.

Last two days hae resulted in a snapped upper trailing arm so we're in Ouarazazate for repairs tonight.

In La Linea next to Gibraltar, just bought my ticket to Morocco from Carlos in Algeciras, €100 open return 1 man 1 bike. Ready to go tomorrow but weather looking wet so may wimp out and hide in tent and go on Saturday.

Saraj, if you've sorted your Guzzi and know when you're crossing it'd be great to ride with you guys a way.

Got the Guzzi back today, with shiny new piston rings and gaskets, so good to go tomorrow. Will have to take it easy for a while whilst it all beds in, and also wary of the predicted rain, so will probably take a couple of days to get to friends near Seville, then on to Morocco a couple of days after that. Sounds like you'll be there well before us, but maybe we'll see you on the road :mchappy:

Morocco from 24th Oct 2012 then South to South Africa via the West route - Fancy it?
 
Hello,

I'm currently on an around the world trip (TeapotOne.com) and will be heading to Morocco from Algerciras to Tangiers on Wed 24th Oct.

From there I'm heading down through Morocco, Western Sahara, Mauritania, Mali, Burkina Faso, Benin, Nigeria and so on, down to South Africa for New Year.

It's my first time, and I'm on a sportsbike! (GSX-R1000) so won't be going quick. If anyone fancies some company along the way just drop me a line.

Email is (INFO at TEAPOTONE.COM)

Cheers, looking forward to meeting some of you on the road.

Bruce

I'm at Beni Mellal now having done Chefchauen and Fez on the way down. Thinking this is gonna be my furthest south for this trip as I wasted too much time in Spain. Heading over to Casablanca tomorrow then back up atlantic coast to Algeceras.

Finally met some fellow HUBBers today, sorry lads I didn't write your names down so forgot them instantly, hope you found some nice roads on your way back north.

In Erfoud tonight meeting lots of old friends if you know what I mean lol. Met a nice German group in the campsite.

Start heading east for Figuig tomorrow expect to take a couple of days to get there. Then we start the slow haul north ( reluctantly) to Oudja the med coast and home

TheWarden 25 Oct 2012 20:42

In Figuig today enjoying a rest and no touts. Set off tomorrow to Oujda over the next few days before two days along the med before we head home

We arrived from Bilbao last night after 4 weeks in Morocco. Great fun but sad not to meet up with bikers. Highlight for us was Erg Chebbie and the Tiz n Test pass. Crazy road!
Look forward to a meet up in Donnington ,
Nigel and Sharyn
