 Posted: Fri Dec 20, 2013 12:27 pm Post subject: Vanagons in North Africa right now |
 |
|
Just a quick hello from Morocco now we have got here in our Syncros.
After an epic trip across Spain and wild camping all the way down we have just stopped off at our first campsite here in Chechaouen, Morocco. The highlights so far are camping in a cave home community in Orce Spain and just generally being in North Africa right now. Obviously we are doing a fair bit of filming to make a video when we get back but here are some photos of some of the places we got to so far.
We are thinking of heading down to Fez after here and then maybe down to the cedar forests where the pistes and off road driving start for Xmas.
We will try and pop a few more up if people are interested here as well as on CampervanCulture.com Facebook page when internet connection allows.
Jed

Looks like a great time, Jed! Is that overhang off of the ferry the official barf balcony?
Did you guys ever get your shirts and stickers to take on the trip?

Great photos, great trip. As with the rest, looking forward to the video (and soundtrack).
Ride safe. Merry Christmas to you and the clan.

Great thread, thanks. Just returned from that part of the world myself and found it a lot less dangerous than perhaps most US thinks. Keep the text and photos coming as internet permits. Are you possibly posting your trip anywhere else?

| What is the weight of the syncro, what is the load capacity of the bridge, did the syncro make it? |

I don't think that's a Syncro on the suspension bridge. |
Doesn't matter. He's got big ones doing that with either!
Jed! Hope your trip is going well. We're all on the edge of our seats waiting to hear and see more!
