I wanted to get booked up for a few different reasons

Commitment kills cancellations for one - £40 deposit paid is all so far but ...

Also I wanted to make sure to get my first choice of the dates considered

The total was £550 for 2 bikes and 2 blokes and 2 cabins in all - so £275 each ... good value given that is also 2 nights accommodation

Something to look forward to

Great stuff. Keep it coming.The extra fuel capacity should certainly do for peace of mind, especially if you have to head back if there's an emergency at home etc.

Christophe will be working on the inside oh his Land Rover to kit it out better for sleeping in.

Franck and Caro ........theirs is already kitted out from previous trips, in the way of a roof tent etc.

Philippe and Coco.....still to sort out....theirs is low on power at present so still waiting to source that........some goofy sensor or something.


I'll be changing the gearbox out in mine and changing the body colour for François and Sylviane.

There's a middle seat place available at present if any one else wants to tag along.

We're still waiting for ferry timetables to be published which will dictate which sea route. Motril, Almeria, Malaga or Barcelona.


If that's not possible we'll wing it as usual and book into an hotel.

Ideally if we land in Nador AM then we can pick up the off road at the Plateau de Rekkam by lunchtime or just after....which will see us bivouac that evening.


Stage One Nador to Merzouga approx 650kms....majority off road.



Keep at it!!!


:)

Have you considered flying your bike to malaga? Seems like a good option if the price is right mate.

Jeez :shock: 10 miles of roadwork on my wr250f was enough to lose the will to live ..... but then again I didn't have a personal crack creamer on hand :lol:
