Looking forward to part 2!

Its under construction!

Like the movie! Gives a true impression of the country and your journey. On behalf of the heat: I read of cool vests, which holds the water inside for 2-3 hours or more. Intend to go in May '24 and read about the heat wave in '23, must have been a pain. Looking forward to the other parts, KR Henry 👍

It was a bit too hot to be honest, cooled down as soon as we left! But added to the experience.

Banging trip, hard work but certainly beats the 9-5 grind. Time to start planning the next one!

[@rustynuts82]

Istanbul!

[@Toomanyscroungers]

Well you have certainly saved me a lot of time effort and money, as Morocco has jumped to number 100 in my top 100 places to visit on the bike. It’s an awful long way for dust and dessert.

[@rustynuts82]

Glad its been useful for that. It’s definitely not the place to go if you’re not keen on hot n dry!

[@firebladeboy.539]

Great series of videos guys! I started by watching the review of the whole trip first and then watched all the others after, I’m going next January, may I ask how do you go on finding places that sell beer there, with it being a Muslim country? And also how much do the guides want in money for showing you places, ie: guiding you on the bikes down the piste’s.

[@rustynuts82]

Quite a few establishments have a few sneaky beers in the fridge, they aren’t all muslim! They tend to want to guide you then discuss payment after, everything is a negotiation of course. Our guide in the desert was excellent but he did expect a few hundred euros! He got about £70 for a few hours work. But he was used to wealthy german groups coughing up.

@@rustynuts82 Thanks for the info, we will deffo need beer after a days riding. Re the guides, I think I will just use wikiloc as there’s plenty of trails already mapped on there. Thanks for the help.

Great insight thanks, what time of year was it? We’re looking april May

[@rustynuts82]

It was first three weeks of may, but a heatwave was through souther Spain and Morocco. 35-40 most days. It cooled down as soon as we left!
