Ferry (for me) past Gibraltar

Fly in, hop on a bike, head for the High Atlas

Lunch on the road

Rest stop in the mountains

We meet Jason and Maria

Mountain village

Up to the Test…

… round the corner…

… and down the other side

A rash of punctures

Lightning-fast wifi!

First piste

Across the plateau

Descent from Assaragh

Into Aguinan canyon

… and to the Lodge

XCountry

Aguinan

Route recceing

Sunrise Aguinan

In formation

MA6 northbound

The track deteriorates

Rest stop to cool down

Another gnarly oued

And another

The climb begins

But takes all day for just 12km

Shuttling to and fro to get the bikes

Dave coming through

Handy shortcut on hairpins

Still riding at 7.30

Next day we go back to get Eric’s 650

Coming down the Timouka Pass

X on the left, G on the right

Rejoining the road near Issil

On the road to Agdz

Not more night riding!

All’s well that ends well

Dawn over Tamnougalte

Brekkie

The ksar

We meet the ‘lost Belgian rider’

Jebel Sarhro

Up to the Tizi

Autumn colours in Dades

Where have I seen that before?

High Atlas village

One last cafe-au

and the ride back to Ozt and Marra
