Morocco Ep 6 Ouarzazate - Merzouga

Leaving Ouarzazate I stop at the old film set of the horror film "The Hills Have Eyes" which unfortunately seems abandoned now. I continued with the snow-capped mountains before me heading towards the desert and the small town of Merzouga. On the way, I stopped for a couple of days in Tinghir to visit the famous Todra Gorge. I managed to drive through the gorge before the tourist buses began to arrive, it is one of the most visited sites in Morocco.
Leaving Tinghir and the Todra Gorge behind me I made my way along the N10 to Merzouga via Rissani. Gradually the rocky landscape gave way to the sand dunes on the edge of the Sahara and on reaching Merzouga camped in the La Gazelle Bleu campsite which is literally on the edge of the desert and at the foot of the beautiful golden sand dunes.

Traveling To Morocco - Some costs, tips & some general info

มุมมอง 124ปีที่แล้ว

I am often asked what it costs to get into Morocco and what it costs to travel through the country so I thought I would try and give you an idea of what to expect. Morocco is a beautiful country with friendly, helpful people. There are lots to see and do, especially if it's your first time in the country. Despite what you might hear Morocco is a safe country to visit. Like everywhere in the wor...

Morocco Ep 5. Tafraoute Ouarzazate

มุมมอง 435ปีที่แล้ว

After a few days in Tafraoute, getting some paintwork done on my camper, visiting the Painted Rocks, and seeing the Lion's Head, I left the campsite to continue east to Ouarzazate. Once again I found myself on some rough roads but I do like to get off the usual routes and explore. I spent one night in Talioune before arriving in Ouarzazate. On the outskirts of the town are the film studios wher...

Morocco Ep 4 Zagora - Tafraoute

มุมมอง 1.2Kปีที่แล้ว

I continue my journey through Morocco going from Zagora to Tafraoute up in the mountains. I have had some good times in Tafraoute over the years and it is always a place to visit. On this trip, I also want to get some paintwork done on the camper. A local workshop on the outskirts of the town does an excellent job for a very reasonable price, much less than I would have to pay back in the UK or...

Marocco Ep 3 Sidi Ifni - Zagora

มุมมอง 1.1Kปีที่แล้ว

My journey continues from Sidi Ifni to Zagora. The road east seemed lunar-like with vast areas of nothingness. Occasionally the stony desert landscape and mountains gave way to small towns, villages and Palm tree oases. I stayed in campsites which although basic had all the facilities you could want at a very reasonable cost. Mostly, the weather has been fine with clear blue skies, hot sunshine...

Morocco Ep 2

I continue southwest from Marrakech, heading towards the coast and stopping at a campsite in Ounagha, before pushing on south to Sidi Ifni where I relaxed over Christmas. The bad weather of my first few days in Morocco is now forgotten as I enjoy the beautiful sunshine and blue skies I have travelled to Morocco for.

Into Morocco

มุมมอง 2232 ปีที่แล้ว

I finally make my way across the straights of Gibraltar from Algeciras in Spain to Tangier Med in Morocco. I was looking forward to some winter sunshine but it wasn't too be, at least not for the first few days. Those first days were filled with horrendous, continuous heavy rain, gale-force winds and storms, which combined caused floods, and mudslides throughout the north, not what I expected i...

Just Bad Luck Or The Passage Of Time

มุมมอง 952 ปีที่แล้ว

After some van issues in England before I left, I thought I was good to go, but I wasn't. After a week in France, I started to have other issues, firstly with the throttle pedal assembly and then with the side sliding door. Not able to get the door fixed easily in France, I decided to return to the UK to get things sorted out before getting back on the road and continuing my winter adventures.

Van Problems & Fuel Shortages

มุมมอง 1.1K2 ปีที่แล้ว

A quick update. As I've had issues with the camper, and there is a fuel shortage in France so my plans may change a little. You must always expect the unexpected, it is said, and I certainly didn't expect to have problems finding and getting diesel. At least I managed to get the camper sorted.

Back On The Road Again.

A new adventure begins as I take a ferry from Newhaven to Dieppe then travel down through France and eventually to Spain and Portugal. I'll spend October, November & December in Europe before crossing into Morocco where I'll spend another three months before returning to Spain and slowly head back to England by the end of June 2023. I'm looking forward to meeting up with old friends and meeting...

My quick tour of Scotland continued as I made my way up the Highlands. On the way, I crossed the bridge onto the Isle of Syke visiting the Dun Beag Broch, an ancient round tower, but the weather turned nasty with heavy rain and strong winds so I decided to continue up towards Ullapool and return to Skye later if the weather improved. I managed to find some great wild camping spots but the poor ...

For the first few days of my journey to Scotland in the campervan, I met up with a friend. We drove up into Northumbria finding some great wild camping spots and enjoying some superb weather. From riverside walks to empty beaches these first few days passed quickly. After crossing into Scotland and spending a couple of days in Largs we went our separate ways, Roy heading back south while I look...

4,400 Days of full-time vanlife and a walk in the countryside.

มุมมอง 882 ปีที่แล้ว

As I wrote my diary I realised I'd reached 4,400 days on the road living the vanlife. The past 13 years have been amazing, the experiences will be with me forever. I love to walk and so to mark this milestone I set off on a walk through Marston Thrift and Holcot wood in Southeast England. It is a beautiful area and the walk starts from my park up on a farm which is a regular stopover for me. It...

Back to the UK

After returning to the UK, I made my way along the south coast to Arundel, on the edge of the South Downs National Park, where I spent a few days enjoying some great weather, unusual for the time of year and a big change from the weather I had experienced in Spain. As a keen walker, it was good to get out for some great walks in this beautiful area of the country. I found a great free park-up c...
