Suggestions please for a week in Morocco...
Hi, I am intending to head South through Spain to Morocco starting 10th September (Portsmouth to Santander then Algeciras to Tanger Med). I am riding a KTM 1090R and this will be my first major trip on the bike, first visit to Morocco and first time off road on an adventure style bike. I have done some off road stuff on lighter trail bikes and quite a bit of road touring on an adventure style bike historically but not anything like I am expecting to find in Morocco.
I would really appreciate suggestions on what I should look to do in around 10 days in Morocco and ideally including relatively easy off road stuff.
I am mindful that temperatures are still likely to be high in mid September so maybe some higher routes would be good and nothing too severe given my lack of experience and that I am riding solo.
I have a Garmin satnav with Moroccan maps loaded but, so far, have been unable to find a source of gpx routes for any trails.
I have Chris Scott's excellent book Morocco Overland and several paper maps of Morocco.
If necessary I think I can work from a combination of maps and the guidebook and I have looked at Tim Cullis's excellent Morocco forum and have downloaded route waypoints for the Morocco Overland routes (not sure where from now but there are around four waypoints for each route including start and finish points and a couple of intermediate points). At a pinch I can work from these so if there are recommended routes from Chris's book that would be very helpful.
As a newby to this any help would very much be appreciated.
