In Marrakech on the 16th
 

Very new to hubb. Joined today. I'll be in Marrakech late on the 16th. Had planned to hire a bike for a day or two. But if your free and around I would like to meet.

Just realised I'm there on the 13th!

The Poole ferry goes to Cherbourg, so hopefully you're not on that one!

The Portsmouth to Santander ferry on 10 December is the Pont Aven which is pretty good--much better than the Cap Finistere.

You'll arrive just midday on 11 December, but the weather at this time of year in central Spain is very chilly at night time, so expect morning temperatures of below freezing. Valladolid is a good example of what to expect, see Valladolid Weather Forecast and Conditions - weather.com

Some route suggestions through Spain: France, Spain, Gibraltar, ferries and ports

Forget camping, it's way too cold even in Morocco and it's a long time in winter between dusk and dawn to sit shivering in a tent. Southern Morocco should normally be a lot warmer than northern Morocco, so head for places like Sidi Ifni (coast south of Agadir) or Tafraoute (inland from Sidi Ifni in the Anti Atlas).

Have fun.

hi thanks for the replys,arrived poole/Santander about 3pm today think this fairly new service. have set up tent at campsite near palenscia and yes it is freezing ,(cheap hotels back on the menu)will try and get as far south tomorrow. 13 th Marrakech probably too soon.

Hi Iain,

A couple of days has turned into two weeks. Made it from Marrakech and now in Ouazazate, heading to merzouga in the next day or two. Currently with a friend in his VW camper van. I think the Atlas has had snow recently, so crossing may be difficult, if possible at all. Hope you are enjoying your trip!

On campsite at Tata ,continuing towards Zargosa,Mergouza over next couple of days if you see a blue triumph sprint say hello.
