"No man can live this life and emerge unchanged. He will carry the imprint of the desert, the brand which marks the nomad; and he will have a yearning to return. For this cruel land can cast a spell which no temperate climate can match." Wilfred Thesiger, Explorer. |

After our last attempt to reach Morocco I thought it would be good to raise the expectations a little bit for the return:
In October 2010 we travelled to the Tunisian Sahara with Atlas Overland. The plan was to travel down through France, meet up with the rest of the group in Avignon, then catch the ferry from Marseilles to Tunis and spend 2 weeks in Tunisia.
We tried to maintain a blog where we could and we used the 'spot tracker' so that others could plot our progress. Internet access was sketchy (to say the least) and so we were unable to post as much as we wanted. This is the full report including some of the posts we did manage to make.
In March 2009 we set out on an organised tour of Morocco. The trip turned into the worst few weeks of our lives as we encountered one mechanical (and electrical) problem after another.
