I will be riding solo for this adventure and expect to cover 6000 miles over 3 weeks avoiding all motorways!

As suggested in my web page heading, there will never be a conclusion to these adventures and although, sometimes challenging here are some highlights which added to my Morocco trip: The French roads. Twisty mountain roads. Crossing the Pyrenees. The 9 days of rain. Camping and camel trek in the Erg Chebbi desert. The cleverness of the Moroccans well established with tourism. Riding through the Todra Gorge. Achieving and navigating off road piste’s. Never felt threatened anywhere, in fact I feel more at risk in London. Marakesh Madina’s culture. Getting lost Marakesh. And everything else that goes with biking. The cost of fuel. The hospitality of the locals, especially Portugal. The disappointing and expensive Caen food. The different culture, food and languages. The undiscovered paradise in NW Portugal’s national forest park. But most of all, how achievable this is for anyone and any bike. I hasten to add that two weeks after I returned from this amazing adventure, I wrote my bike off on the M25!
