We had a fantastic week down in Morocco. Stevie, Marcel and me went off for a bit of a roadtrip. Left Marrakesh to fly in the Atlas, Aguergour. A ridge, on the footstep of the Atlas. Huge take off, huge landing field. We flew with Michel Didriche, from
AirOne Parapente. French pilot, you can call him the pioneer of paragliding flying in Morocco. Very nice chap, professional, give you all the info you need, shouldn't miss it. He also explained us about the license you have to get soon to fly the sites around Marrakesh. I would say please contact Michel before you leave for Morocco, not to be in for a surprise. He is the man for Morocco.
There is another pilot, english pilot called Toby, but he wasn't around, he was back home in England I heard.
Left for the coast to fly at Tiznit, Legzira Beach and Sidi Ifni, but were only lucky to fly Tiznit. And it felt, looked just like we were back home, a cliff overlooking the sea, exactly like Cabo de Santa Pola. We were staying with Nigel, nextdoor Nid d'Aigle who is ran by a french pilot. Nigel gave us all the info we needed as well, don't go fly without his guiding. It would be rude. He owns the take off, and if you stay in his house, his wife treats you with the best moroccon dished you'll ever have in life.
Last bit of our roadtrip was into the mountains, the anti Atlas, to find the sites near Tafraoute. But these sites looked a bit dodgy, narrow valleys, lots of rotory aereas. In Tafraoute itself though there is a moroccon guide who can help you out. We didn't manage to find him in the village though. Winds were off anyways, so we just kept on enjoying the lovely country by itself on our 4 wheels.
Back in Alicante now, and this week doesn't look so superb, western winds. Hopefully dying off by late afternoon for us fliers.
If you look for doyouwanna on facebook, you can find lots of foto's of this trip. Having an idea what we do on our roadtrips, so maybe next time you feel like coming along.
