Event Description

This will be a challenge raid for those coming, we will be more on dirt tracks as from the first day doing camping's on the way and exploring new terrains in the North of Morocco before getting to the South into the desert.

We will be crossing the Atlas from East to West and then do from the West coast to the East coast only getting into the towns to refill our vehicles and get provisions.

Feeling emotional even seeing images of the past, will be really hard not to be there and see those smiles!

4th Stage will be one of the longest up to now. Starting from the Lac Tislite down south to Zagora, passing spectacular views and diverting before Dades to make it more a challenge and visit the most needed in the area to do our solidarity works. Some camping for sure before entering the magical valley of the Draa.

This will be the first stage were many do not use and plenty of people in need on the tracks, it is 230 odd km which can take us up to 3 days to complete!

The 2nd Stage will start from Sefrou to hit the tracks that will take us through cedar forests and spectacular views. We will continue to get to the mines which will lead us to Midelt and the Hotel Tarddart to be near for the next challenge on the next day!

This Solidarity Raid being the 25th done in 23 years which I have been working on routes to create a special Raid which 90% of the trip will consist of Mountain Tracks, Dirt tracks, Beach Runs and of course Desert Tracks, all with wild camping's and less Tarmac than ever done, that being the reason we gave it the Title of "Solidarity Raid Challenge".
Due to personal issues that members know I maybe will not be able to attend  but would be a pleasure for it to be achieved by our Club, then it would really be more of a Challenge not having me with you guy's as navigator which I hope it will not happen but thought that it should be mentioned for those who are thinking of coming and doesn't have this info that members who are attending up to know have been informed of.
