Starting issue

3 of them. Most of the desert south of the N12 between Tata and Foum Zguid is now off limits [emoji19]. Still made Erg Chegga for last nights wild camp

Now stuck in the Arse end of now where waiting for a starting issue to be fixed on Byron's truck

Starting issue Turned out to be a dead battery! Still we had a rather interesting evening parking in the garden of a local and listening to him and his mates jamming while they drank George's Grappa .

Shame they missed out on the off-road yesterday as the stretch you did was one of my favourite sections from my trip in 2013 with atlas. Some great bits of vast openness and also the geology was good too, especially that massive eroded dome you drive across in first 30 mins with climb in and out of it. Who were the lucky ones to enjoy it today ?
Albeit we did it over a 1.5 days

They missed some great stuff...

Me, GeorgeG and Isleofman did yesterday's route. Now done the first half 3 times with different eastern end routes. Truly is one of the nicest routes south of the N12. Doing it in a day was a push but we didnt start until 10am

Cool, hope you enjoyed the stairway to heaven and the "Orion" sculptures today and didn't get hassled by the chap who wants you to pay to be guided round them [emoji1]

Third visit for me to the sculptures. And we did pay as it goes into the upkeep of the structures and was imposed after damage caused by some irresponsible overlanders unfortuneately. It is expensive for Morocco though

Bloody fantastic pics fellas. Looks like your having a great trip. Keep them coming

 

[MarkW]

Tomorrow we tackle the infamous gorge to gorge route which could be a challenge before heading north to our highest point at 2800m. Should be a good day [emoji3]

Now decorated with a RaidMaroc 2015 Sticker. Next forum member to pass must check it's still there [emoji3]

We've left a few others around to spot and Isleofman has given away loads of t-shirts. The trip will be stampede on Morocco for some time
