Friday, 10 October 2014 It was a rough journey, but we arrived safely to the UK. We had some breakfast, packed up and, once docked, disembarked and went through customs. In the customs queue, the last view we had of our boat: Right after

Thursday, 9 October 2014 The weather was still a bit wet, but we had a ferry to catch so we set off for Bilbao. At least it wasn't raining as fiercely as it did the day before and it wasn't as cold either. Here

Wednesday, 8 October 2014 Well, there's not much to say about Wednesday really. This was our slog day up through Spain. Great small twisty roads turned into larger straighter roads turned into motorways and the riding became more boring the further north we went

Tuesday, 7 October 2014 Waking up and hearing the sea is always a pleasant thing for me, this morning was one like that. The weather looked great and the sleep had done me well, but I was stiff and really sore, particularly my shoulder

Monday, 6 October 2014 We woke up to a great day, it was going to be fairly hot with sparse clouds and just a bit of a breeze. The room we were in was at the very top of the hotel and we had

Sunday, 5 October 2014 Today the plan was to keep going north again so that we are closer to the ferry when the time comes to cross. We decided that we want to take scenic routes on roads that would also be fun to

Saturday, 4 October 2014 We slept well and had a good breakfast before we set off for the day. This was more or less our halfway mark and we decided it would be a laundry day for us. This meant that we'd do less

Friday, 3 October 2014 After the previous day's difficult riding we were in the mood for an easy day. We decided to go look at three artworks in the desert, all created by the same bloke, but on the way to the first one

Thursday, 2 October 2014 The next day I was a bit tender, I should know better than to mix beer and wine to start with, but hindsight is, as we all know, a luxury. We were getting into the habit of getting up at

Wednesday, 1 October 2014 Today it was time to get serious and put on some knobblies! Locky had seen a tyre changing place in Midelt on the way through so we rode back into Midelt. I was insistent that the tyre place we use

Tuesday, 30 September 2014 We slept quite well despite the call to prayer going out early morning, it's loud and annoying when you want to sleep, sounds like a typical school PA system. We don't even understand what it is that they're whining about,

Monday, 29 September 2014 The breakfast wasn't anything as good as the dinner we had the previous night, but I wouldn't be complaining if I knew how boring breakfast in Morocco would be. After all, you can't really moan much about croissants with butter

Sunday, 28 September 2014 The reality that we were away from home now started to set in. The weather was definitely warmer than it was in the UK and we were looking forward to getting on the road towards Morocco. Had some breakfast on

Saturday, 27 September 2014 Our ferry was leaving from Portsmouth at 08:15 and we had to be there at least 45 minutes before. We both had to leave home quite early to get to the ferry on time. The 27th was my wedding

This is a repost of a ride report a friend and I did for a motorcycle trip to Morocco over September to October 2014. My friend goes by the nickname of Locky, he's a locksmith, been riding for many years (read: he's old), a
