We can only see how it goes, looks like there's still a long way to go if you are planing on using that bike
I did 10 days around marocco last year on mostly trails all the way down to the dunes, looking at doing the same route or open to suggestions,
Soon as I figure it out I'll post a picture of the route I took last time

Hello John
I've got loads of trails and routes about 2000 miles worth for Morocco, I can send you GPX files closer to the time if you have a garmin, I use a Montana 650.
I'm thinking about 9 days in Morocco and the beginning of May seems the best time as the weather would be nice in the south then.
I'm happy to do the ferry to Bilbo then ride down to south Spain so maybe ad 3 days ether way using the ferry, if riding to Spain then maybe ad 4 days ether way,
I'm easy as to how to do this,,,,
Thanks
G,
I'll send you a pm

Ferry from Plymouth Sunday 30th April return Wednesday 16th May cost £309
Ferry from Algiers 3rd May to ted med return ted med 12th May cost £92
On the uk crossing I'm booking a seat only to keep cost down but if I can arrange for some one to travel with I don't mind the cabin share,
I'm taking the van to Plymouth with the bike so I can pick up some one on the way. I'll leave the van near Plymouth, if anyone lives near there and no where I can store the van that would be great.
That's the plan.
Thanks

Because I’m taking the van to Plymouth with the bike inside I’ve decided that my chosen bike is my Honda crf 250 rally, I’ll be traveling as light as possible, I may camp on the way down Spain then I will book hotel south Spain leave most of my stuff there till I return from Morocco,
As it’s so cheap in Morocco I’ll be stopping in accommodation so all I’ll be carrying is a change of clothes and tools.
