Low on Water | Bikepacking the Moroccan Desert!
Morocco is getting drier by the mile as we descent into a vast gold mining area. A dusty off road track leads us through breathtaking landscapes that could be mistaken for another world. Camping here is magical with specially adapted goats who are able profit from the hostile vegetation. When our water gets low we have a chance encounter with a motorbike expedition. Some animated conversation follows and they replenish our liquid needs in the most refreshing of ways. After this beautiful but exhausting stretch we land in the town of Tata. We take some well deserved rest days before heading out even deeper into the desert...

A brave desert tour, not without risks. Heel stoer hoor. Nowadays those rim tapes are a frequent source of flats. They are assembled in low cost countries. I usually replace the for a better quality after getting a new bike and of course with precise mounting.

@WheelstoWander
Жыл бұрын
Thank you and we get your point. We don't prefer them either though our more 'normal' titles and thumbnails do get significantly less clicks. This way we also get a lot of new viewers that genuinely enjoy our video's, and would otherwise be less likely to find this video in their youtube feed. Hence if we don't make use of a little 'clickbait', the video's that we put so much love and effort into making, don't get presented that well in the mysterious YT algorithm.

Yeah, easy to run out of water in Morocco, hot or cold, it is always so dry. It happened twice to me, not in summer but spring, and by a strange coincidence in the same place - the barren and windy, immensely long valley that goes from the Anti Atlas southeastwards down to.....Tata ☺ Perhaps you were in Tata in April? It was so hot north of the High Atlas, but by mid-May in Tata it was only a maximum of 21 degrees, 13 below average and unbearably windy. Was also looking to cross the desert to Mhamid but too dangerous solo.
@WheelstoWander
Жыл бұрын
In the spring it can already be very hot indeed! We were there in March, already very warm & dry. It was a lot warmer then previous years is what we heard from the locals... But, not too much wind! 💨 Yes it's quite an undertaking, I think it's doable solo but it depends per person... It can also really depend on the weather situation, it's definitely more safe to go with another person. Actually we met someone in Foum Zguid who went solo on an electric trike, we don't know if he manage to get all the way to M'hamid.
It's one of good adventure but more care with safety's
