Went to Morocco for 3 weeks.
First day was a 800km highway drive to Barcelona where I took the ferry for a 26 hour trip to Tanger. Drove to Beni Mellal where the Atlas mountains begin and there starts the adventure…
The roads are getting narrow and snow appears, its quite exceptional at this time of the year but this winter has been very wet and the tracks are in very bad condition.

Tried a track between Tilouguite and Anergui along the Assif Melloul, its beautiful, but a bridge has been destroyed by the river and there is too much water to cross, I have to turn back. Then I took another track but it climbs up the mountain and I meet snow again with red clay under it, impossible to go further.
Back on the main track to Zaouiat Ahansal where I will stay for 2 days because of a snow storm up on the mountains, the passes (2'500m and 2'650m) are closed.
I'll go for a 7 hour walk on a mule track with a moroccan guide, beautiful scenery.
The bulldozers finally opened the road, its amazing, there is about 1,20m of snow ! On the way down into the valley, spring is coming back with thousands of flowers. I'm on the way to Marrakech to pick up my family as they took the plane, easier and more comfortable.
