Hi Mark, Good to see the trip planning is going well. We'll be in Morocco 22 Oct - 5 November so probably won't see you at Timnay this time. Regarding insurance, if you've got a green card for Morocco from your UK insurer, you're covered - there's no need to buy additional insurance locally...

Hi Renago, Why do you say that North Africa is no-go? I was in Morocco last month and it's perfectly safe. We ran along the Algerian border north of Figuig all the way to Foum Zguid. Tunisia has been stable for the last 12 months. Mauritania has been trouble free too. Come on down! Regards...
