In January we set off from our home in the northern Scottish Highlands (north of Inverness actually, but that would have made the title too long) with our Swift Challenger 635 TA caravan on a 5,672 mile epic journey that would take us to Marrakesh and back. We set off in foul wet weather one morning and two weeks later we crossed the Straights of Gibraltar and drove off the ferry into a warm and sunny Africa!
It was an incredible, exciting, and at times stressful trip that saw us tour Morocco from Tangier to Marrakesh and the foot hills of the Atlas Mountains, return to Europe via Spain, settle, so we thought, in The Algarve, get evicted from Portugal due to the Corvid-19 virus, and make a madcap dash back to the UK via Spain and France in just 4 days wild camping overnight at truck stops, followed by towing the length of the UK in just 2 days!
During the journey I kept a travel journal detailing the highs and lows, the adventures and escapades of a couple of fairly novice caravanners, as we threw caution to the wind and took our caravan to another continent and back.
On returning home I have added a guide to taking your caravan to Morocco to the journal, detailing how to get from Europe to Morocco, an itinerary suitable for towing a caravan in this wonderful country, a guide to the campsites we used and lots of information that will help you enjoy your trip there. The guide and the journal are both illustrated with photographs taken on the trip. There are also links to YuTube videos showing the routes into some of the campsites we used and others you may find of interest and help.
The journal begins with our first idea of taking our caravan to Morocco, why we changed our caravan, the equipment that we took, the maps and guides and the plan that we set off with.
This journal and guide is now available as a PDF. The cost? Well whatever you want to donate to a worthy charity, Thttp://www.britishmoroccansociety.org/he British Moroccan Society http://www.britishmoroccansociety.org/covid-19/[/URL]British Moroccan Society's Covid-19 Relief Fund:
Due to the Covid-19 pandemic that is causing hardship especially during Ramadan in remote villages of the Atlas Mountains, the BMS has decided to set up a special fund in order to provide basic food provisions to people who are in desperate need of our help.
Thanking you in anticipation of your generous contribution to our worthy causes at this time of exceptional circumstances, to donate please visit: http://www.britishmoroccansociety.org/covid-19/
If you would like a PDF copy of the Journal, The Road to Morocco, send me a PM with your email address and I'll send you a copy of the PDF. The amount of your donation is entirely up to you, I don't even want to know what it was. Any amount will help and will be gratefully received by the British Moroccan Society.
So, take your minds off all the doom and gloom, sit back and enjoy the adventure, and you never know, we may even see you and your caravan in Morocco next year.
