The Off!
7 апреля, Испания ⋅ ☁️ 18 °C
This is the Istanbul trip which didn't happen because of waiting for the fire risk to pass which became the Picos trip because there was not enough time when the rains came which has now become theЧитать далее
Too Heavy!
7 апреля, Испания ⋅ ☀️ 20 °C
So when I left we had to push the bike out of the garage I rent in town....Now this is not quite as whimpish as it sounds....the garage faces on to a steep crosswise slope and it has been rainingЧитать далее
Everybody else has a Landy......

Gibraltar astern!
8 апреля, Испания ⋅ ⛅ 17 °C
Visibility not too good and the policeman not turned up to man the passport booth on the boat. When I looked up how to do this it said 'Do NOT get off the boat without your papers stamped' Oh Dear ..
It's breakfast Jim but not as we know it
8 апреля, Марокко ⋅ 🌬 20 °C
So no brekkers for me again, up at 6.30 to get to the ferry two hours before departure and turn the wrong way out of the hotel so a 20 minute detour making a 30 minute journey into 50 but no interestЧитать далее
Really hard off road
8 апреля, Марокко ⋅ ☁️ 22 °C
Next time I book a hotel I will ask about the road to it......silly me to expect a hotel in Morocco to have an actual road. So back road to Chefchaouen and all good.....but a bit weird when I firstЧитать далее
You never make it easy for yourself! But on the bright side, the hotel room looks comfy! We liked Chefchouan a lot. X [Jeanne]
Chefchaouen
9 апреля, Марокко ⋅ ⛅ 20 °C
I tried to set my cameras up this morning to find a strange fault on all the DJI stuff....two different phones running the software and two different DJI cameras but same fault on both....I am forcedЧитать далее
ПутешественникHave seen a lot of blue buildings over there, perhaps it's more cooling x
ПутешественникAll that cloth! I'm jealous!! I'd have bought it all!! Pantechnicon to bring it home - I've got a shed!!!!!
Glorious colours and agree with Kari about the cloths. Loved the call to prayer momentarily heard, I believe, in the second video. Very haunting. [Ali]
All Change
10 апреля, Марокко ⋅ ☁️ 25 °C
So after the beauty of Chefchaouen I left early to struggle up the off road lane ....early so nobody would see me fall off and to reduce my chances of meeting something head on on the steepest andЧитать далее
White and Purple
10 апреля, Марокко ⋅ ☁️ 27 °C
As I crossed the Riff the geology turned to chalk and limestone. Whole villages made from the rock they stood on blended and vanished into their surroundings.....and then the flowers came....
Get your Red Hats here!
10 апреля, Марокко ⋅ ☁️ 28 °C
So I arrived.....no idea where I am going to park but I am sure if I leave it here there will be nothing left by morning!
ПутешественникTook me a while to work out! Have been trying to work out where you are on all your photos! 🤔
The Medina
11 апреля, Марокко ⋅ ☁️ 21 °C
10,000 alleyways, some only a foot wide, so no wonder I got lost...madrassas, camel butchers and silk from agave cacti what a place!
ПутешественникThe markets are just so fascinating, Tony and I just loved the atmosphere, the colours and the bartering, thanks for bringing back some lovely memories xx
The Tannery
11 апреля, Марокко ⋅ ☁️ 22 °C
It takes two months to cure a skin here and two thousand people work in this space which has been here for six centuries. The smell is unbelievable and they give you mint as you go up to theЧитать далее
Oh....Oh.....

Just passed the snow gates
All Change
12 апреля, Марокко ⋅ ☁️ 15 °C
So crossing the Atlas everything changed....the people are different...not yet Berber but not the same as the folk in Fes...the geology changes all the time with limestone giving way to sandstone andЧитать далее
ПутешественникOk, discovering how to use this app now! … found the ‘route’ button! Have fun! Xx
I need to stop going south
13 апреля, Марокко ⋅ ⛅ 9 °C
So the forecast for today was dreadful and it did threaten rain for a lot of the day but only broke as I arrived at Erfoud. Fabulous journey, snow on the mountains, but also a lot of water poolingЧитать далее

…. Just love the mud buildings dissolving back into the landscape. Happy memories 2013 in van. 😊
Does this place rock?
13 апреля, Марокко ⋅ ☀️ 21 °C
So I am in a Kasbah....bit put off by the metal detector on the way in (which I failed.....have you any idea how much stuff I need to keep the Italian motorcycle happy?) but inside....in the darkestЧитать далее
ПутешественникI think it is always wise not to joke over there, definitely don't have a UK sense of humour. Tony found when working with them in Gibraltar their humour age group was about 6, and lots of giggles xx

There are things about sand......it is meant to be dry here.....this is the Sahara after all....Algeria and Morocco fought a war here...it is called 'The Sand War' not 'The Mud War' I know this lookedЧитать далее
Tinghir

Feeling sore now the adrenaline has worn off......I need a beer!

One of the two gorges near Tingir with the 'most dangerous road in Africa' between them.
Dades
15 апреля, Марокко ⋅ ☀️ 15 °C
Well.....I promised Kari only this morning I would not attempt the road linking the two gorges.....I needn't have bothered it has been washed completely away at the Dades end.
Anti-Atlas
16 апреля, Марокко ⋅ ☁️ 11 °C
Well after my embarrassment at falling off in the muddy sand I thought I should go and have another look at the Sahara so I am on my way south again and crossing the Anti-Atlas....the views areЧитать далее
Currently in Beni Mellal friend on KTM clutch failure having to be transported back to Tanger med☹️. On last 2 days of time in Morocco then long treck to Santander and ferry home. Absolutely amazing cultural experience and of course loving the guzzi 👍😁😁😁 [Richard]
ПутешественникOh! I have to say every time there is a whiff of clutch from my V85 I am terrified...... FABULOUS PIC of your water crossing......was that on the original OEM tyres? I have a V100S but it has caused so many problems so far I find it hard to trust it. Probably see you on the ferry!
Turnabout
17 апреля, Марокко ⋅ ☀️ 18 °C
Very dusty here today....in fact I haven't seen the stars since I crossed! One more look at the desert and I turn to the North West.
ПутешественникThat's amazing. They are all walking in time with each other, the camels!
