How did you come about spending time with that family? did you know them before hand or did you just rock up and say "hi"? Laughing

Either way, it looks like an amazing trip - and that photo with the little girl holding the goat up is pure gold Thumbs Up

I'm looking at going to Morocco as well, and for the freedom too - it's a feeling I haven't had since I moved away from Australia Big Cry Geoff

Absolutely fair Bear100 nobody better than you know what is the best way to go, and i agree that first times help having someone to support you on where to go and how to deal with things.

as i said if i can help with something let me know

Tubes63 we just say hi and that´s it really. amazing people, as you know, they have nothing and give you everithing they have.

I´m pretty sure that this feeling of follow a line in the GPS from a to b and just change direction because there are a natural element like a river or so and not because you see a sign of private property it is just unbelievable.

Greeni i need advice on some products i´ll call you.
WelshSurferDude i didnt know wales and everybody said that is very nice, let see if the weather improves, if that ever happend to happen in the isle Shocked

i´ll remove the pictures soon.

Hi Bear

I haven't yet been to Morocco - we were planning to go in Oct 2012 but my wife's tummy got steadily bigger over a 9 month period so we had to put it on hold for a while!

Of all the companies mentioned I only have personal experience of Atlas Overland. I have no affiliation with Atlas but have done one of their short trips and can honestly say that I have never felt safer or in better company. Pete Girling is the main fella running Atlas and he just has a really good approach to these things. His attention to detail in terms of planning, preparation and safety is superb, but he isn't a blood thirsty winch challenge type either - he is the kind of guy that believes in spending money on travelling rather than unnecessary shiney kit advertised in the mags and will always give good, well-considered advice.

I too have heard that the LRO Adventure Club can be a bit gung-ho and set a really fast pace. I have also heard things about Trailmasters that would put me off going away with them. I don't have any experience of One Life but they sound pretty good and appear in the Rugged Guide DVDs.

I know Atlas are used to having kids in the group - indeed I got chatting to Pete at the Donington 4x4 show and his record on a trip was a 4 month old, right the way up to someone in their late 70s I think. Give him a call and sound him out, I think you'll be impressed.

My wife and I plan to travel with Atlas as soon as our little Land Rover addict is old enough!

Hope that helps.
