We are four individuals attempting the challenge of riding motorbikes over 2600 miles from the UK to Casablanca and back. We're doing this to raise funds for The Honeypot Charity which provides care for underprivileged children in the UK. We depart for France on July 2 so the bike ride itself starts on 3rd: we aim to get to Morocco and back to northern Spain in under 6 days. To make the challenge tougher we'll be sleeping under the stars, and carrying all of our kit with us on the bikes.
Be extra careful guys as you head into Gibraltar - pick pockets everywhere, specially the Moroccan traders who prey on tourists, (they come in all shapes and ages so keep precious things very close to your hearts). On the plus side, leather goods are usually quite reasonable so hope you can get a replacement pair of gloves quickly, you can't risk being without for long. How's the fluid situation?
ReplyDeleteChris just sent you an email re the slight leak from the transmition boot. Should not be a major problem - just keep an eye on the level.
ReplyDeletejust as well they did't see your wallets etc - Keep everything locked and bolted!!
ReplyDeleteand be careful when you are camping too - at least they cant do the camper van trick of putting gas through the exhaust pipe so they can get in and nick everything in sight, including passports while you sleep on!! Don't think this would work in a tent but try and find a decent camp site tonight x
