Marrakech to the High Atlas - December (Parts 1 - 5)
Last month, my partner and I flew to Marrakech for an 18 day bikepacking trip to the High Atlas and beyond. First we had to find food, fuel and a tool to fix one bike. It was the beginning of a great adventure...

Goat brand meths - With goat extract for added flavour ??
Ah Morocco I never did conquer the unease ( fear even ) enough to go back . . . . . .
But I do like to read about it - as experienced by folk bolder than I.

Great blogs, as usual; the right amount of narrative to photos with lots of interest, making me jealous and wanting to get out there and start the adventures again!

The goats climb into the Argan trees to eat the argan nuts.

Episode 4 Highs and lows on the road to Aoulouz
There's a lot of time to think when you're on the bike. There are highs, lows and wash day blues

Very enjoyable blog!
I have done some "fully loaded" cycle touring and ma now starting to move towards a bit of lighter weight bike packing. I am very impressed with how well you pack your kit into such a little space! Your kit list seems very comparable to mine and yet I seem to have far more bulk to load!

I find it's easier to pack lighter in warmer weather. The biggest/bulkiest item I have is a down sleeping bag.
