Re: 2O16 EDC Maroc Ride Report
We leave for Ramlia..a short ride away and climbing up out of the lake bed onto a hard pack plain.
We stop at Ramlia and we take a Coca Cola break and chat with the Land Rover men and the owner of the café.
I'm reminded again about my sprocket in case I've forgotten how bad it is.
Look at his hair
Roger needs fuel for his Honda Fireblade and it can be bought in the the building next to the café.
First he tries to go into the shop and shoplift a Mars bar....but Moha,the shopkeeper was there.
Some might know the origins of this sticker??? lol

Hi Steve....
There's also a clear bit to the right of the gully!!! :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:
When there's no risk assessment carried out this is just what can happen. I hope we all take note.

Re: 2O16 EDC Maroc Ride Report
When we've finished our Coca Cola we ride off in the direction of Zagora where we'll wild camp that evening if all goes according to plan.....if.
The piste out of Ramlia,for about no more than three or four kms,changes from hard pack to feche-feche......which is fine sand akin to cement dust,on a hard base. If one rides out of Ramlia to the north there's more soft silty sand and feche-feche. Personally I prefer my chosen route.
Out of the feche-feche and onto harder going I of course snatch stall and drop my moto.....after pictures are taken before helping...I'm again reminded to check my rear sprocket in case all the teeth have rounded off and I will end up being stranded for three weeks.
Jon helped me whilst the rest laughed....
We pick up hard pack as the small dunes at the end of the fece-feche have moved within the last two years since I took this route....we suddenly realized we were now qualified true adventure riders as we had to use our initiative whilst winging it.....all on our own.
Now that we're true adventurers......Gordon looks over and sees a dune and sets off to explore. Immediately he experiences off road extreme danger as he drops his moto. As we were shouting our laughter over at him....Percy keenly takes his camera out for a picture before asking if he was OK.
Gordon comes back and we're all feeling relieved that we escaped catastrophe ...... we get frightened and we all promise each other we'll only stay on the trails.....and to never go off exploring and having fun again.
Our foray into adventure riding certainly was short lived..and for good reason might I add!!!
