[Mawsley]

Anybody been?

After my failed bucket-list attempt to go to next year's Island, I got to thinking what else I could do. I know, I said to myself, Mawsley to Marrakesh on the XT.

Do I really need a large tank? Do I really need stronger fork springs? I'm kinda thinking it's all a bit overkill if you aren't doing the Paris-Dakar. But then I don't want to be the bike equivalent of Jade Goody running the London marathon after eating a curry.

I've done Mawsley to Portugal on a bog standard XT, Marrakesh is only a boat ride and another couple of days further. If your worried about fuel, make yourself a bracket and strap on a fuel can somewhere. If you think your fork springs aren't good enough, ride slower over the rough stuff.

I like the fact you can get there without having to ride all the way to the bottom of spain... a quick 'back of an envelope' quote returned a price of £148 for a return.. one adult and a Yamaha XT600 from barcelona to nador.
