haha ok fair enough..... any idea of which sort of route will be taken then?
If you want a planned tour .. this is not for you.
Only planning is get to Morocco within 2 days of leaving Calais. Then it's pretty much suck it and see.
Also there is NO TOUR LEADER ... We are all adults. We will help each other out (some need more help then others
) .. If there are lots of routes available, you can do the one you want. Meet at the evening drinking/sleeping point.
My own experience as follows ..
1) 2006 Morocco .. didn't have GPS and not very good maps. So rode like a mad man to keep up. Some good, some I really didn't enjoy. Dropped my bike at the Tiz thingy pass when I was "tapped" by a massive wagon. Bill came back to pick me up and I continued all the way back to the UK. Had real Highs and real Lows. Most likely because I was going for more than I could chew.
2) 2008 Turkey .. better equipped with maps and GPS. So pretty much rode by myself at my own comfortable pace. Met up every afternoon/evening at the drinking/sleeping point. No hassle what so ever. Had a great time.
Just be aware that there are some really good riders and me around. If you ride good, you will keep up with them. If you ride slow ... you will have to put up with me all day (which might be a great incentive for you to ride better/faster
)
In Turkey this year .. we rode until it was dark and we couldn't get to Istanbul .. so we pulled into a petrol station. Our guide books had no recommendations for the town we were in .. but we ended up here. Had the best kebab in the world. Even a worrier like me can go with the flow
..
don't worry
Just turn up at the agreed time at Calais/Bordeau/Morocco.
Everyone is really friendly ..
Just get yourself a good map and GPS. Then read up about Morocco, either from the ride report here or in a guide book. Then you can do everything you want to.
