Route Conditions - send in your updates
Just returned from 3wks in Anti Atlas and South.
Generally,lots of roadworks going on on the main roads in Anti A that will slow your progress.Don't be to ambitious with kms for route planning.
A lot of the new sealed sections in the routes mentioned below are already blown away and the local people are re using rough pistes.
MA1
Closed at Tizerkine Gorge.Very large boulder oued so no chance to try along oued bottom.
Closed again at km52 Afella as oued Assif has been washed out. I did not check if going into this oued via the other end of the old haul road would yield a passable track but,the amount of washout in the oued would lead me to doubt it.
MA2
All OK
MA10
Closed at junction with MA2 so recommend going down MA2 through Igmir which is great.
MW3
Claypans at km 59 are now a stunning large lake with lots of flowers all around. Great care needed to skirt lake to avoid soft spots. I travelled the edge but if you are in doubt a new track has been graded to the North that hugs the base of a ridge. It starts at around km 59 and you will notice it going off to the left.
Oued is unpassable after km 203 but is very beautiful.We turned into the hills and just followed tracks,camped and hit the N1 the next morning.
Estuary Of Oued Draa.
Found ford that links North and South sides but overtopped by full and beautiful waterflows. Could not get further towards estuary than this. Again be very careful of soft ground.
N1
We camped inland of Tan Tan and Guelmim and it rained during the night. Next morning the run up to Guelmim was a white knuckle ride due to mud caused by regrading teams working on shoulder repairs and kami kazi drivers. Be careful and enjoy!
Happy travels.
