I was only 7 when my father took my then 14 year old brother and joined 10 of his ex-army buddies on a Boys own trip to Morocco and I have been fascinated with the place ever since.
They travelled in a rented Ford Transit minibus down through France and Spain then into Gibraltar to catch the ferry to Tangiers.
My own travels in the past 3 years have seen me visit Marrakech twice but I took the more accepted route of a package holiday and flying there.
Many times I have thought about recreating the drive down through France and into Spain but not until last year did I think about riding my motorcycle down to Marrakech.
Having organised and taken part in a few motorcycle based charity rides in the past I knew of a couple of friends who would be up for the challenge. I contacted them and sounded them out and "The Marrakech Express" was born.
