Pointless, risky, absurd. Yes, that is the beauty of it - absurdly
determined to metamorphose themselves into a glossy photograph seen
in a glossy magazine that caused a spark of desire within the
tinder-dry kindling of their imagination. They were consumed with
all that the photograph promised until that reality could be made
theirs: to achieve all of the experience, the life's journey
implied within it, to redefine their already long lives, to change
themselves, to fast-track to the achievement of the decades of
experience exemplified by those young adventurers in that glossy
photograph in that glossy magazine. What an absurd notion. For no
other reason, it had to be: three quickly became five guys on
heritage motorcycles, hooking up with an ex-Special Forces
operative and a combat zone photographer to make it seven for a
safari across the top of Africa. From Spain to Tangier, they
traversed the Riff, navigated the Atlas Mountains, circled Cirque
du Jaffar, and rode through the Gorges du Ziz. Rough-riding across
Morocco has never been so much fun. Wild camping on the way under
star-spattered sky, across unforgiving terrain where luxury is a
warm sleeping bag. In places where if you don't guard it you lose
it, and where changing co-ordinates on a fast and furious basis
makes good sense. Through oft sudden lows where the warmth of a
Moroccan welcome exceeds the heat from black coffee, honeyed mint
teas, or a meal from a hot tajine. Until dusty boots touch down on
the sands of the Sahara at Erg Chebbi to witness a new dawn rise.
