  1. Trying and hopelessly failing to upload mp3 file onto website. Any help? I want the file to play within the site as a sliding bar
  2. Another blog post up. Thoughts and photos from Marrakesh in next day or two. www.thebigafricacycle.com
  3. Been given powdered peanut butter plus a load of other random and useful odds from a cycle tourer returning home.
  4. I keep getting called Ali Baba. Maybe time to shave off the beard? Off to meet another cyclist.in medina. Snakecharmers to dodge.
  5. New blog post up. Another coming tomorrow. www.thebigafricacycle.com Almost 5000km in now.
  6. There is draught beer at this second-hand book shop/cafe in Marrakesh, but one glass costs half a nights accommodation.
  7. Got lost in Marrakesh's medina. Paid a kid 1 Dirham to direct me out. Found a peaceful haven in new town with WIFI - will be back here.
  8. Map updated on www.thebigafricacycle.com GPS would have been useful for knowing exactly where I was in the mid-Atlas - fun to truly get lost
  9. Back on my own tomorrow. Time to start putting together some blog reports and photos.
  10. Hating this Moroccan keyboard. Need to find good wifi spot somewhere in Marrakesh
  11. @bicyclemedia probably south to Asni and west via Ouarzazate, Hoping it doesnt snow
  12. Out of the mountains and into Marrakesh -snake charmers greet jet-set weekenders. Off the bike for a week before heading into the High Atlas
  13. Lost in a cedar forest in the mid-Atlas. Think the road is a riverbed. Map is no help now. Shame the barbary apes don't talk.
  14. Woke up to find 2 donkeys 3 cows + 1 horse outside tent. Cold at 2000m in the mid-Atlas. Campfire helps.
  15. Arrived in Fez and feel like I've stepped back in time. Smell of the tanneries cleared the senses. Into the mid-Atlas tomorrow.
  16. Loving the small roads + friendly welcome in the Rif mountains. Steep climbs but amazing scenery. Pioneering a track towards Fez today.
  17. More mountains today towards Ketama - an area beyond the law according to the Lonely Planet - sounds like an adventure!
  18. Brushing teeth extra hard after drinking 4 glasses of Moroccan mint tea today. Back into mountains south of Chefchaouen tomorrow.
  19. Arrived in Morroco. Into the rif mountains and Chefchaouen tomorrow.
  20. Packing up for the road. Seem to have accumulated more gear. May make one last stop at Decathlon - Atlas mountains going to be cold.
