Got back at 2am this morning after leaving Morocco Sunday pm - will post some detail later - some I will post by email as a bit sensitive for open network - if you think the desert is arid and dry think again have never seen so much water and white/yellowy mud - like a waterfall from the sky massive flooding everywhere and roads washed out and this was well south into southern Morocco - after lots of trips with no trouble the 110 had quite a lot of problems - ever seen raging torrents and waterfalls in the desert!!.

I have been following this tread http://www.horizonsunlimited.com/hubb/morocco/severe-weather-warnings-road-closures-78382, glad you are home safe and sound.
Drop me an email sometime, and let me know how the trip went.
 
On fuel - if we are going no further south than Zagora/Tata then a normal 110 tank will be ok and a 90 might need an extra jerry can or two - but south of Assa/Samara we will need enough for around 900km - for me a normal tank plus a second tank carrying 40litres - more is better than less as you never know what conditions are going to be like.

Personally I would like to do the longer route if we have time
 
Just fitted a snorkel, JFC, what a palarva, done now, funny how some jobs take no time at all, and others that seem straight forward end up being a mission to the death.

Both myself and my mechanic friend have two weeks at Easter give of take a day or so booked off and cleared with our respective home offices.

Cool, what snorkel have you gone for? Mine wasn't too bad to fit, though I drilled the holes in the wrong place the first time :doh:

If the rest of us were going for 3 weeks would you meet us somewhere on the way, or come back early?
 
We are going to leave you guys somewhere around Tata. The snorkel is a Safari copy of unknown origin, it was the buggering about with the intake tube beneath the steering UJ that caused me the drama, as it keeps touching it, so ill have to cut off the ariel mount to get the pipe lower I think. The snorkel came from Barry 4x4, it's ok quality but did not come with that large foam gasket so I had to make one from double sided foam tape and lots of black silicone.

Hope so, otherwise I'm going to look a right tit, if the trip is off. Well, until I find somewhere else to go.:D

Have we got an idea of dates and who is chunnel/ ferry? Apparently the chunnel is pretty cheap atm.
