Morocco April 2014

Portsmouth to Satander return + fuel for the 635 miles to Gibralter & back will be about £1000. That includes the one toll you'll come across.

If you book a cabin on that route the cost is £848 eek.

Question? When paying for fuel in Morocco can you use your credit card or is it best to have cash.

Cash ! They don't except credit cards or even know what one is

I generally found it was 50/50. Even then, it all depends if the card machine can pick up a signal.

How are the plans for the meeting in Feb going.We are ready to book the 11 April on the St Malo ferry, what are everyone else"s plans?

Spring fit this weekend. Helps when you get a lift!.

Hi All,

If you PM me with your email addresses I'll add you onto the list.

There are currently 5 cars going, with you it will be 7. All sorts even a v8...

Roughly there is a Departure on the 10th April overnight to St Malo and one on the Friday 11th Dover Calais. We intend to meet on route or at Algeciras to Tangier Med on the early afternoon of the 14th, we cannot get the prices for that yet.

The return date for some of us is the morning the 25th from Morocco to Spain and then a quick drive home.


Were going to try to get a meeting Mid Feb to work the finer details of the route out within Morocco, this is on the email thread I will send.

Sorry spacedawg I thought I emailed you back but never sent! I unfortunately cannot tag along. The woman's work being a pain... On the plus for me Though it does mean I get to spend a year on the road from June 2015 South Africa here I come

Good luck with morocco. Can't wait to see the pics.

Hi All,
