We left Beni Tadjit heading towards the hills, as we approched the first climb it looks like a quite and gentle ride, then the route goes steep, very steep. Half way up Paul R has a fall, not a bad fall but a bit unlucky, Mr B stops to help and I climb to the top, Paul D on the Africa Twin is already there !! The AT just sucked it up.
I got to the top and look behind, no Paul R, no Mr B. As I walked back down I could see that Paul R has a problem, it turns out that Paul had come off but as his bike dropped it hit a large rock and snapped his clutch lever, when we looked at it it hadn't just snapped it at the manufactured weak point it had crumbled, we had to push it up to the top, once at the top Paul R got to work swapping the break lever to the clutch leaver: "Who needs a front brake anyway" he shouted.
If the way up was hard ? The way down gives you the shits !
The way down starts scary and stays that way, it's like large steps, that at first look it seems easy but as you drop down you soon realise that you have to carefully pick your way though. I wanted to be first down so I could take a couple of pics. We all got down safe.
Not a good pic, but Paul D and Mr B coming down:
