- England to the Sahara Desert, Morocco on my 2010 Triumph Bonneville.
In part two of this road trip, I ride south from Caceres in mid Spain and grab the ferry from Tarifa on Spain's southern tip, into Tangier, Morocco.

Without doubt Freddie you produce the best biking/travel vids out there, really enjoying this series - enjoy the journey, safe travel.
That’s incredibly kind of you to say so. Thank you so much🙂
@@FreddieDobbs I’m stoked I found your channel- instantly subbed after I started watching this series. I’m a huge fan of motorcycle travel vlogs (your reviews are great too) and I seriously think you were made for this sort of thing. You don’t have the $25,000 gs but you don’t need it because it’s clear you’re in it for the love of the ride, comfort be damned. I’m seriously impressed by your vulnerability on camera and sense of humor. Keep it up.
No he doesn't he just copies itchy boots ,he needs to stop complaining about 1st world freddie problems ,your in africia aleast you got to eat
I agree
@@tamarastvhaack4713 he is doing a great adventure .. with no Truck full
Of Spares & Back up following
Behind , like the Other Two
No Names !
This is proper Freddie, it really is! No brand new bike, no tonnes of kit you'll never use just a genuine taste for adventure. It's like tightrope walking with no training and no safety net😂. You're fearless and treat adversity and situations that make you feel like a plank with great patience and good nature. Real biker, real adventurer. Stay safe Freddie
Freddie, I have to say this, you've earned yourself a fan and have quickly become my favourite content creator. Your storytelling, with the pleasant visuals, top choice of music and your upbeat, charming personality. Your channel is one of the most underrated and best motorcycle TH-cam channels, bar none. Consistently putting out top content. Needless to say, I always look forward to your videos after a long day of studying. Keep it up, and cheers!
I agree, I stumbled across his videos about a year ago, and I now watch them about as religiously as my mum used to watch the soaps (Eastenders, Emerdale, CS, etc 😅). Although I'm usually about 7 days behind (only God knows why 😂).
In case you didn't already know, as I only found out fairly recently. He has another channel called Tuesday at Dobbs'. It's more of a talking head/podcast style. It's on YT also but used to be on Spotify under the name Freedom Machines. He had to change the name on YT due to copyright. Apparently, someone else already uses a similar name.
This got a bit long winded, but I thought I would give you the heads up none the less 😊.
Excellent stuff Freddie. You are certainly a breath of class amongst most of the motorcycle vloggers. Your video skills improved greatly and keep the comedy coming, the ear plug fiasco was hilarious.
I’m delighted you enjoyed it and thank you for the kind words🙂
@@FreddieDobbs I sometimes walk around searching for my glasses....only to glance in a mirror to see them perched atop my head.
I knew they would be in his ears as soon as he started looking. 😂
I enjoyed the video with the relaxing music.
Fantastic video as always!
Has anyone ever mentioned that you are Charlie Boormans voice double?
The earplugs scene was top comedy! 👏🤣Freddie’s superpower? Innocence. 🙏🏼💚
I went to Tenerife because of your videos and rented the Moto Guzzi v7. Riding around Teide was special.
Amazing! So glad you enjoyed it🙂 Tenerife’s still my favourite place in the world and the best place for biking in my eyes😍🏝️ Great choice on the Guzzi!
I did exactly the same. Rented the Black Moto Guzzi V7 850 from Adam at Easy Rider after watching Freddie's vid. My wife rented the Ducati Monster and we explored the island for four days. The power of TH-cam and vids....
“I hope I have everything I need and by that I mean I have nothing” 😂 best video yet, some pure gold comedy moments. What a trip so far!
Thanks Freddie, stay safe over there.
Can I have a 10ner too?
Thanks Steve🙂
Great report!
Fabulous to see people covering big mileages to far off places on bikes other than the obvious choices.
Excellent effort, well done.
Safe, happy travels 👍
Thank you sir🙂🤜🏼🤛🏼
I've always said that if you can ride it to the end of the road, then you can ride to the end of the world. It just takes a different time...
Brilliant. Its the same as eating an elephant. You have to do it a little bit at a time.
It’s uncanny how we long distance bikers are the same. The “where’s my earplugs” dance is done by us all. One of the things, being a lazy TH-camr, I admire the most of professional TH-camrs is the effort made in filming, script and editing - especially setting up the camera at side of road to get the riding away shot, then have to go back and get all the kit.
I don’t make a living from my amateur hash videos, fortunately, as I made enough money from what I actually do do well, but I admire Freddie and Itchy Boots et al, and their superb film making skill. Those who watch their content probably don’t appreciate how hard it is to ride, plan, organise and deal with border hassle and at same time produce amazing content -- all good stuff Freddie. Enjoying Morocco where I will be in November on my Tuareg
I love your videos Freddie. You have such an elegant way of presenting everything, and you're always really careful and enthusiastic with the scenery. Such a treat that you give us these videos for free
I truly admire the way you put up with the heat, the flies, the squalor & a smelly left hand to bring us these fascinating vlogs, offset by some (mostly) fine accommodation & superb views. Excellent.
Stunning attention to filming - great trip - only issue I have is that I feel I can tick these places off as 'visited' as your coverage is so real.
I found getting a beer in Morocco to be a bit of a ball-ache. Not impossible, but not easy.
Apart from lincesed bars/restaurants (usually in Hotels or nightclubs) it sure will be a struggle to find one as its forbidden to drink alcohol publicly, hope you still had a great sober time tho 😂
Stylish and entertaining as always, Mr. Freddie. Love the choice of music, the scenery, the gear, and of course the Bonnie. Yes, I was in Andalucia last year and was amazed how close Africa is.
Well done. Your putting on your very sweaty gear and then not finding your earplugs. . .High comedy and we’ve all been there.
You really have to applaud Freddie for setting up the camera shots, I know how long time that takes (in editing as well)! I've been here since you had around 12k subscribers, when you tested out the R Nine-T - Freddie your channel is an inspiration💪
You gonna love the landscape in Morocco 🇲🇦
Great stuff Freddie. No way could I bear that heat! I felt your pain putting that jacket back on. Ride safe. 👍
Those who don’t ride have no idea what motorcycling is like in a hot climate, testing to say the least! 👏👍😀
I can't believe the proximity of Africa to Spain - it looks as close as the Isle of Wight is to Southsea! It's too late now, but for any future hot weather trips I'd recommend a modular helmet (Shark Evo or similar), a mesh jacket and also consider a hydro backpack. Hope you've got plenty of factor 50! 🌞
100%. In the Algarve we use Segura mesh jackets
Excellent choice of music.........enjoy the country!
Looks beautiful and that old reliable thudding away under you. We love a bonnie
Freddie - I'm so full of admiration. What a fantastic journey, and your vlog really is second to none in terms of content and context. Loving how you overcome all the obstacles of travelling to unknown climes. The scenery is mesmerising and so cool to see it from the perspective of the Triumph. Bike looks in great knick! Thanks
Thank you Freddie , True biker and traveller spirit ...your composition and editing pace is fab .. could really feel the places you stopped at , each frame held long enough to enjoy the views, colours, textures , characters , temperature and rhythm of each scene...
being from india with remote regions and hot weather, i've found it most comfortable to use light sleeveless jackets with back protection pocket sewn on , using separate easy to slip on and off elbow/ arm , knee and chest protection .. also football shin guards ...can use or detach each as you wish depending on the road/terrain,traffic n temperature.. much much lighter n cooler making the ride more enjoyable ...freedommmm .. Looking forward to all your journeys .. Ramble on...
Freddie try and take Chefchaouen on your route back up through Morocco… Hotel Atlas is a good stay.
And steer clear of Ketema!!!
Enjoy the trip!!!👌 The vlogs are brilliant.
The continent of Africa. Insanely exotic and distant...and just next door. I am so going to follow in yours and itchy boots’ tyre tracks. Atlas Mountains are stunning.
Absolutely brilliant, I love everything about all the videos, to many bike trips have nothing about where they stay or anything about meals etc . First class such a lot of effort put into making these videos.
Hi Freddie....great series....when I was in morroco I found that everyone I talked to was a chef at my hotel (wherever I was ) wanted to direct me where I was already going and knew as I had a map and always stuck out their hand for a "coffee" . that said it was wonderful to be in the sun and ineresting culture change
Fantastic videos Freddie! Looking forward to more! Hope you have a great journey in Morocco
You are absolutely smashing it! From Indonesia, Tuesday with Dobb’s and now the Morocco road trip, just loving the content!
The bonneville sure has taken you on some adventures. Amazing what you can do with a relatively inexpensive mode of transport. That’s why I love bikes.
Grimaldi car carrier at 09:50. Just make out the white and yellow… can’t get away from the bloody things! Lol. Great content Freddie!
That moment when taking off your jacket and the air on your back cutting through the sweat feels ICE cold BRRRRRR !
Freddie you've inspired me to buy a motorbike! I'm 62 and rode for most of my life but haven't owned a motorbike for a while.
Just love your English. So well-spoken. Very refreshing, Freddie😁 Great journey!
I went in the opposite direction almost 10 years ago when I was in university, though I didn't take a motorcycle. Started in Marrakech, made my way up to Tangier and took a ferry across to Tarifa. Absolutely incredible trip. I may need to revisit, this time with a bike though.
Brilliant as ever. Thanks 👍
Brilliant video , lovely edit, production and music even apart from the amazing subject matter. Thank you, the view from The hilltop of North Africa is awesome. Nice one.
So envious amazing 👏
Your narration audio is superior excellent and makes your bike adventure a delight to follow. Thank you from Oslo.
Absolutely beautiful!!!!
Wow, fantastic. I am beginning to think I'd love to do this route. Ear plugs, I was literally sat here saying they're probably in your ears! lol
Absolutely fantastic
Fantastic loved every second 😮
"In my ears already" - Classic ... as is the 8m.07s sound track which is definitely not a copy of the Cult ...
Video is really helpful as I plan to do this route next year.
that's what I heard too. She Sells Sanctuary
Excellent content, thanks!
always top tier
👍

Another great video Freddie!
As someone who is planning on buying his first bike later this year (a Zontes GK 350), these videos are really inspiring me to one day take on an adventure such as this! Awesome content Freddie! Can't wait to see the next update! Safe travels and greetings from Portugal :)
Such a joy to watch your travels Freddie
McDonalds food is like eating cardboard that’s been left in the street on a dusty dirty, dusty rd, and then torrential rained on and warmed up in the microwave 🤢
I admire you Freddy for your willingness to do stuff that many wouldn’t do. It’s inspiring 👏🏻
Can't agree with you more about McDonald's , Dick Turpin wore a Mask.
Wow, I can't tell you how much I enjoyed this, beautiful photography and stunning scenery and atmosphere. Thank you so much for sharing your adventure Freddie

Great video and edition is top notch
Great trip Freddie! Thanks for taking us along!

What a perfect excuse to jump on the ferry! Enjoy it🙂🤘🏼
100% Freddie. marvellous stuff.
Hi Freddy. Well done on getting to Africa, it is a nice thing to do on a bike, especially a British bike. Me and my brother rid to Morocco a few years ago, was an epic journey from London to Tauten. I rid my tiger955i and my brother rid his 1995 speed triple. . Love your channel Gordon and glen
Well done Freddie, great video, have fun..
Brilliant vlog. your excitement is infectious, I can't wait to see the next episode!. Great Video and editing as always. and loved the music as well well done!.
Love the video Freddie. Really feels like we're sharing it with you. Insanely good production too. Keep it up 👌
I can't imagine scouting filming locations, stopping, setting up a camera, filming a pass or two, just to pick up everything and do it again and again and again.
and doing it on a 500km ride.
This is getting me hyped up for my first overseas trip this summer!
Dude, right with you in spirit....what an epic journey so far....😊
great video freddie, super content.
Beautiful video Freddie, inspirational.
Wow Freddie, fantastic adventure, stay safe, thank you !
