Trail riding in Morocco 9 days in May
 
Im looking at traveling to Morocco from uk in late april early May for 9 days trail riding, I'll be getting the ferry to Spain then bike down to the ferry to Morocco, same root back,
I've get a bunch of trail routes that total upto about 2000 miles,
If you fancy joining up, undecided accomadition until closer to the time as I'm planing traveling fairly light with only a saddle bag
I'll be riding ether a xrv750 or a crf1000
Thanks G

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

Hi

Would like to join you, just me on a CRF 1000L. Do you have dates in mind including the journey there and back.

Thanks John

they may also have GPS co-ordinates, not sure :palm:

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

When I did it last year early May it was perfect

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

Traveling From the northeast, Tyne and Wear m8
I’ve just been reminded that it’s ower wedding anniversary 3rd May
So I’m now traveling 6th May return 23rd May cost ferry £340 the ferry to Morocco is the same.

Dadd 16 Dec 2017 19:57

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.
