Morocco in November 2004 - 10/05/04 03:30 PM
Hi
I'm just back from a month's trip in Maroc, following quite a similar itinerary to the one you propose (I went Casablanca - El Ksiba - Imilchil - Tinerhir - Jbel Sarhro - Nekob - Zagora; then a bus to Marrakech; then back on the bike from Marrakech - Imlil (climbed Toubkal) - Tizi n Test - Taroudant - Agadir - Tiznit - Sidi Ifni - Tiznit and a bus back to Casablanca.
Was a great trip! If you're using the Michelin 742 maps it is, in some cases, quite out of date with regard to roads that are now sealed. Otherwise I found facilities such as internet access and accommodation to be a lot more available than I was preparing for in the mountains. Often I just stayed with people in the house as well so I would really wonder about bringing a tent at all if I was going to Morocco another time, maybe just a bivi bag for the long sections in the south.
Anyhow, please email if you want any more information.
