Nice video. You’ve really captured what cycle touring feels like. I’m in Morocco myself at the moment doing a solo touring trip through the High Atlas and Middle Atlas. It’s a great country for cyling.

I camped in the desert, but it was too cold in the mountains (I had no tent).

Man- your trip and bike look awesome! Well done and tremendous effort in compiling all those video shorts.

I am going to morocco this year from 8th Sept till 8th Oct to do a similar thing with my bicycle.

Did you camp at all? or was it generally too cold ? Did most people you come across speak french?

(I was going to go solo, but If anyone reading this wants to come along – give me a message or something)

Wish me luck peeps!
(Inshallah i’ll make it back to the UK in one piece!)

Nice video. We had similar weather in the mountains (the road was closed twice) but we managed luckily to reach Tizi-n-Tischka. During the descent the rescue team in a pick-up offered us …an obligatory lift :)

I did. I had a basic route planned before I started, but heavy snow in the mountains forced me to change it once I got there.
The roads are generally very good. Just make sure you don’t try to do it in the middle of summer!

Nice vid, some good shots. I went to Morocco last year and fell for the place. Thinking about taking the bike back in the near future. This has only encouraged me.

Did you plan and sort it yourself?
