I don't mind admitting to being stuck. I've come to terms with it now. But the hill climb off the beach was only completed on the first attempt by 2 trucks IIRC. Others had to lower tyre pressures even more and possibly pull a fuse or 2?? 110 D250 SE HT

I think each vehicle on that trip had it's pro's as well as cons. So there isn't a "perfect" vehicle. Everything is a compromise.
As long as your vehicle is looked after then you'll have no issues on a trip of this magnitude. 110 D250 SE HT 110 USW SOLD RRE HSE Dynamic Gone, wife killed it VOLVO XC60 R Dynamic with some toys Polaris RZR 900XP SOLD |

Of all the trips I've done, the White TD5 110 that accompanied us was the best.
Nothing to do with comfort, mechanical etc. All to do with the driver producing choc ices in the middle of the Sahara 110 D250 SE HT

Just love all these little bits of info, as i can gather walfy was in the D3, but im in the dark as to who was in which defender ? That is something to think about as you wouldn't expect that, having a choc ice there

Grey 110 with the ali box by the rooftent was TJ101, the other grey 10 was JST,the white 110 was Chris. MM was my co pilot for this trip, can't remember who exactly co drove the others. It was a long time ago. 110 D250 SE HT

A great trip with great people will always help the memory. We did Morocco 2 years running and sometimes the 2 trips merge and memories from 1 trip merge into the other. But it's always great to dig out the photos and videos of these trips to jog the memory. As a side issue, the first year we went to Morocco, my co driver was my wife. Turned into a great trip and not that expensive. We lived in Warminster at the time, so door to door, including fuel, food, ferries, spending money. All in we spent less than £2K for a 2 week trip. Luckily we had a man that was very good with route planning so we just followed the route chosen by him. No need for us to spend out on a guide. And both trips, he sorted out some great routes. 110 D250 SE HT

Well organised trip/trips and good on the old pocket
As TJ101 said, good idea each one of you being freezer/fridge etc would never have thought of that Clayton.
