Morocco (again)
Posted: Mon Nov 04, 2019 4:47 pm
I’m in the midst of a more conventional pavement-heavy tour from Ireland to Morocco. Obviously the name of this forum implies a bit more actual bikepacking, but a friend suggested this was a nice place with reasonable crossover. Indeed the little back reading of threads I’ve done on Morocco on here has better and more interesting info than other bike forums I’ve browsed..
Anywho, I’ll be arriving in Nador in about ~1 week. I’ll have about 3 weeks to get to Marrakech where I’m meeting some family i haven’t seen for a couple of years. Afterward, if money allows ill continue and explore the anti-atlas a bit more...
Anywho, anyone have some rough route suggestions with the terminals of Nador and Marrakech? Should any areas be skipped across by bus?
I have a more conventional touring set up (two rear panniers then a few stuff sacks strapped budget-bikepacking style to the frame and forks), so can’t do any routes that are technical - but I’m going to grab some wider tires before I get there to hopefully have more options for gravel roads and 4x4. Basically I can do a mix of tarmac and dirt road, but not after anything technical or single track!
Any suggestions of rough routes and/waypoints to hit?
