EDC 2017 Maroc Ride Report

[WIBO]

Meanwhile the French wing of the EDC (with Christophe taking the snaps from Canon and everyone else form iphone ) have left the fort and will head back to Midelt via Imilchil and the Cirque de Jaafare.



We stay in an auberge on the northern outskirts of the town which was newly built about 5 yrs ago.




































Imilchil for a dander .....

Great write up and stunning photo's bring back fond memories of Morocco ...... Thanks for putting the time in

[WIBO]

The locals here work the land and work hard so there's all manner of vegetables to buy. You can hit the region raining or hit it dry at this time of year. It's cold at altitude too.





























As usual the kids are happy when they see you.
































































Pick up the trail soon for Cirque de Jaafare.....

















































The graded drop down to Midelt









They'll stay in Midelt again and ride on by road to get the return ferry from Nador to Sète in France.


They have now mapped out a longer off road route for next years ride out. Job done. A debrief at home over the Winter weeks will pick out any pro's and con's.

So....we take a dander around the town, sit and watch the world go by and eat in the twin square for about a fiver or so.

Directly opposite the hotel are these steps which take you to the town centre square .






There's various side street workshops which are good to have a wee peep into and chat with the owners







It's also very old and blue......






































Al and I notice Dave needs a haircut......so we're now on the hunt for a barber to get his wool clipped.









I tell him we could buy him a wig if he wishes.....







..and dye his wool black....

Whilst searching for a barbers we check out the odd workshop .....


















The saw blade is an old sprocket

[WIBO]

After a drink we visit the Kasbah in the town square for 80p..of course we don't wait the change and the cashier is a happy chappy.








One cell for weirdos in it's past history....

[WIBO]

From here we'll dander on in search of a wool clipping shop for Dave.....







Al takes the odd good snap








This reminds him he's also here as the Kays New Operations Businessman ( KNOB ) to promote the catalogue . He calls a photoshoot when possible


I hear such phrases as 'sexy baby .... make it more sexy' and 'think like you're making love to the camera' Passers by make U turns,









'Look sultry baby'... was another one







I see a man sporting a comb- over and it reminds us we have ti find a wool clipping place for Dave...
