    60 in December :) so next years trip booked, Morocco with Globebusters in April.

    4 of us booked it, 2 Explorers, GS and a Super Ten.

    We have gone for the option of joining the tour in Malaga as start and finish point, we will cross from Portsmouth to Caen, 5 nights down through France and Spain, 13 days for Morocco, 2 nights up to Santander and home.

    Just over 3 weeks April and May, and I think we will experience all weathers, riding through France mid April, over or round Pyrenees depending on snow line then the warmth of southern Spain and Morocco, think various layers will be the key.

    Our little group of 4 have been riding Europe every year now for 14 yrs, we have been as far as Croatia and Slovenia but not into Africa, can't wait.

    I was on Morocco last year, not on a bike unfortunately, around the foot ,feet?, of the Atlas Mountains and I thought to myself what a great place to have a bike! So you're going to have a good one!

    Hi TeeJay, I did Morocco a few years ago and if you go to the south might I suggest you visit the Dades and Todra gorges. Spectacular scenery and roads.

    Plus the N9 Tizi N Tichka pass up to Marrakech - great highs & lows plus fantastic twists & turns. Have a look on Google maps.

    The route is whatever Gobebusters have planned, but it seems to take in everything you need.

    First time we gave used a tour company as always do it ourselves. Thought it might be best to have a bit of 'back up' for Morocco.
