Fancy an overland trip to Morocco?
My trip/driving partner has had to pull out due to unforeseen circumstances and I now have a passenger seat available for a trip to Morocco leaving 29th March. Duration will be three to four weeks.
There are five vehicles going, four Landcruisers and one Patrol. We will be covering some of Chris Scott's routes in his book Morocco Overland. We will camp mostly but will occasionally stay in an auberge. We will visit places like Fez, Cirque du Jaffar, Gorge du Dadès, Erg Chebbi. PM me if you're interested and I'll give you more information, no strings attached. You'll be travelling in and driving this....

Ill just say this, anyone who is even the slightest bit interested in doing this, DO IT. I overlanded to mongolia last summer and it was the best experience ever. You see and experience the genuine country and people. Enjoy the trip.

Awsome stuff West, very envious
 How the help is the camera so steady in the Gorges Du Jaffar ? The jeep is all over the place, cant be by hand can it ? Surly you couldn't keep it that steady ? I know I couldn't anyway ! How did you get on with your new strainger/passenger ? 3/4 weeks can be a long time with someone you don't know Last edited by stackerman; 16-05-2012 at 17:14. |

 We had to turn back on this section. The weather had been so wet over the previous few weeks that it made the going later on too slippy. We got to some muddy inclines and we all got up the first but the 80 (petrol 4.5L) with plenty of power and lockers front and back was the only one to get up the second. It was getting late, we were losing light, it had started to snow so we made the decision to backtrack. We were invited to stay in the village of Jaffar - flat roofed abodes, no electricity, no toilets, no nothing. I would have happily stayed but one didn't want to so we continued on. We came back through the gorge in the dark!! Quote:
