Thanx again, team.

Jed, do you know that feeling when you're so jealous you almost want to cry?!

Where do I fnd them?

Still would love to visit Morocco but would need to get away from the wagon trains of campervanners over there! It was eerily quiet on the back roads we took and many of the villages still bore all the scars of past battles; it was very 'other wordly' compared with the coast and Islands with its mi...

If you ever manage to come back to Ireland Miles please let me know. Maybe we can even camp with you for a couple of nights as "guides". And you're certainly welcome to stay at our house. Louise is a great vegetarian cook too. Frank. That's a very good deal, Frank. And we will take you up...

Hi, Frank, good to e-see you again. And Lughole, it's a storks' nest with Muhammad's crescent moon above it. And thank you for your very kind comments. I've always thought Mr Reimo did an exceedingly good conversions of the T4 and I do find it v diff not to snoop into any I see parked up. We talked ...

Good-oh!

I'm working on it: better sunrise over Erg Chebbi dunes, Berber villagers, off-roading with Berber-driven Landcruisers, kohl mining, Malian drummers, vanning over the High Atlas, arriving on the campsite at Marrakesh. And still much more to come!

....I can see the point of having back up even if it is from the other paying guests. Its a v popular destination for French motorhomers (because it's nearer for them than for us, and the folks speak the same language - "French, which remains Morocco's unofficial third language, is taught univ...

I bet the tour guides took you to a rug shop or two An Uncles shop maybe? Sit you down with tea so you cant just leave and you feel obliged to buy something? Jed Surely nepotism rules in Morocco, but we were quite good at not buying things (following the example set by the Yorkshire contingent).

Always fancied an expedition to Morroco but now I am not so sure, it looks very damp and er ....... gritty Good honest pics mind, thanks. I think the grittiness is permanent, but it seems to me that climate change is so rapid that predictions of good weather are increasingly unreliable. IF I were t...

Oh, allright..... She might be wrong, but she said £1800 for two adults for 3 weeks including ferry from Spain and back, all campsites, non-existent breakdown support, baksheesh probably, a leader and 3 staff, 3 formal meals....... That isn't such a bad price when you think about the cost of the fe...

Looks great fun! I love that kind of holiday! Was only talking about if our van would be reliable for taking around the EU let alone africa What kind of price was the tour if you don't mind? My wife's just had a guess and it's so much I'm embarrassed to tell you. Oh, allright..... She might be wron...

Dont worry Miles, I know how these things work jed Yeah, essentially, lots of people (many with more money than sense), give lots of money to a thick bloke who doesn't do much to deserve it, and tells lots of lies not very well. (We can all find such stories any day almost anywhere, can't we). We d...

:D Excellent, I thouroughly enjoyed that . I knew very little about Morocco, but I know a lot more know ..thanks Mark Thank you. It's been particularly interesting to see recent events in Tunisia and Egypt on TV. Morocco is very nearby, of course, and has a similarly bloody awful human rights recor...

Did you go on some sort of tour Miles jed Yes. How uncool, eh, but there you are. We did benefit from the organiser's local knowledge, but it was far from essential. And it was strange, very unadventurous to be surrounded by Brits and to have no need to organise anything ourselves. The holiday was ...

Some amazing shots mate.And a few horrific ones as well.Some of those fossils are amazing... Thanx, Rob. There are so many places to visit in Europe that it might be we'll never get back to Morocco, hence some not-so-good shots are included simply because we have no other record. It's an amazing co...
