After spending the previous afternoon helping to recover a motorhome off the wet grass, today we were in search of seafood. We decided as we had now filled our water tank, we’d head to the Aire in Oualidia itself. We passed probably 10 vans in the 2-3 miles into town and there was probably stillContinue reading “Vineyards, monkeys and Fes city visits – Asilah, Morocco”

We woke to the sounds of the waves on the shore at Desert Point, a popular surfing spot. Kev took the dogs on a walk through the wooded area and saw there were even more vans parked up along the shore. It seems to be a rare area of permitted wild camping along the AtlanticContinue reading “More coastal travels to Essaouira and recovery jobs – Oulalida, Morocco”

When we left our overnight stop on the riverbed in Tissint, we had a short drive to Tata the next morning. We had decided as it was many weeks since the truck had last been washed and we were plastered in Saharan sand, that we would pull in at a petrol station to fill up,Continue reading “Taking root in Tafraoute – Morocco”

The morning after we had waved Alex off at Marrakesh airport, we had the long drive back south to take us back onto our tour route around Morocco. We took a leisurely drive back over the Atlas Mountains, this time with photos and video already taken, we could just sit back and enjoy the spectacularContinue reading “3 day desert crossing – Tissinit, Morocco”

Our Boxing Day started with a change of plan. Our video call on Christmas Day with Alex, Kevin’s daughter, had gone so well she decided to fly out to see us while she had some time off over Christmas. By Christmas night the flights were booked and Alex was due into Marrakesh on 27th December.Continue reading “Unexpected Visitor – Marrakesh, Morocco”

Due the impromptu meet up at Gara Medouar the previous evening, we had opted for beers when we arrived with Charlotte, Stuart (@orkneyoverlanders), Dave, Amy (@the_day_we_ran_away) Kathrin and Steph (@ausfahrt4x4), instead of exploring. That gave us the perfect opportunity for a sunrise dog walk the following morning. We tried our best to quietly leave ourContinue reading “Christmas in the Sahara – Erg Chebbi”

We woke early in our police-station carpark in Tendrara to find a heavy frost on the ground. Although you know it gets cold at night in the desert, somehow the crisp white covering comes as a surprise. There are stray dogs and cats galore in Tendrara so after a very swift dog walk, we packContinue reading “Further off-road – Tendrara to Gara Medouar, Morocco”

Everyday has been full since our last post, as we are heading to the far east of Morocco to make our way overland by whatever means to the dunes of the Sahara for Christmas. We left Chefchaouen though (this time by the correct route), along the route north to the Mediterranean coast following the trackContinue reading “Into the desert – Chefchaouen to the Sahara, Morocco”
