Well – I’m here. I’m sat at base camp waiting for Mark and Jackie to arrive. It’s great to see everyone here (and the bikes).
My tent had been set up for me and a glass of red was waiting on the table. Lovely.
I’ve heard lots of stories about the crazy journey getting the bikes and kit here and the riding the guys have already done. It’s going to be a thrilling couple of weeks, that’s for sure.
Base camp is at a pretty campsite on the outskirts of fez with our tents set up in a little orchard. As I write, oil lamps are burning in the trees and the hundred or so local dogs (and one rooster) are doing their best to make sure no one gets any sleep. Where did I put my ear plugs?
Exploring Fez tomorrow.
Tired now.
But happy!
Pete

Next morning…….
Everyone is here. Mark And Jackie arrived at about 1am. It’s now 9am and we are just tinkering around the camp. Some of the bikes need a bit of maintenance which will be done today. We leave base camp tomorrow.
Mark, Jackie and I are heading into fez in a while to have a look round. Photos to follow.
