The basic essentials of a route are coming together and it is time to subject my proposals to comments on the HUBB. All comments, suggestions etc are invited on the thread set up just for this purpose.

Monday 20th April - Ride to Portsmouth for Ferry departing 23.00
Tues - Le Havre to Northern Spain long day covering as many miles as possible
Wed - Another long day through Spain aiming to get within a few hours ride of Tarifa if possible
Thurs - Ferry to Tangier then head South
Fri - Following my nose South and East
Sat - Following my nose South and East
Sun - Following my nose South and East
Monday 27th April - Hopefully close enough to Dunes to camp
Tues - Moving West
Wed - Across the mountains to Marrakech
Thurs - Meet Jackki at airport and chill out in Marrakech
Fri - Ride out and back to Marrakech with Jackki on the back
Sat - Drop Jackki at the Airport then head towards Rabat
Sun - Use the faster roads heading North to within a few hours of Tangier
Monday 4th May - Ferry back to Tarifa and start the journey home
Tues - Spain
Wed - Spain / France
Thurs - France
Friday 8th May Ferry leaves Le Havre at 16.00

The basic balance of the trip is getting to Marocco as quickly as possible. Taking my time then heading South using back roads and scenic routes recommended on the HUBB. Chilling for a few days in/around Marrakech and then heading back on faster/more direct routes.

This is exciting just writing this stuff - role on the 20th April.
