[Malcolm Bolt]

I have been bad with a stomach bug for 5 days now can, keep food down or in
, must have lost a stone ,:Sad: stomach sounds like a coffee perculator

We have dioralit , imodium ,ibroprofen and amoxycilian but they had no effect .

The dutch people who own the campsite got me some me some

Sepcen 5000mg ( ciprofloxacine ) it costs 245.10 dirham for 10 tablets :Eeek £18, 85p

So if you can see any in spain buy some to carry round with you , it should be cheaper
than what it is here



Paul and Renarta run off road desert tours and always carry these tablets , :thumb:

Hope you're feeling better mate and heading for a full recovery:thumb
( remember to use your left hand!)

It was with a heavy heart that, this afternoon, we drove past Jct 112 of the A7 at Algeciras on our journey west to join up, eventually, with the members at Zahora for the Big Birthday Bash. No offense intended to those at Camping Pinar San Jose........ but know where we would rather be heading but Morocco not possible for us...... at least for this month:Sad:

A huge goodbye wave to our recent "Fun" visitors, now Morocco bound............... great to have seen you both, fair winds and safe havens, all the way and "hasta la proxima". Wishing all of the gathering horde, the group 2014, the independents and the first timers the most fabulous of times, look forward to reading your comments.

Stay safe, regards

Bryan & Anna

[tonka]

Overlanders.. Brief report in..

Going well. Currently 200km north of Madrid... Had great trip down, no rain and even 18 degrees at 1 point..
Limited net access and getting 3 vans into a mcdonalds to much hassle...

Catch you soon.....

Yup. We are staying for one more night and we had the security of three guarda civil cars for over an hour around 2-3am! No knocks on the door so got to be good!
One van pitched with wind turbine Looks settled in.

Hi Libby and Raymond

Apologies Sue saw your note and asked me to reply, I forgot and we've just got back on the net. :Blush:
I see Andrew, Mr Motorhome, has replied already so hopefully you'll catch up with everyone else in Spain.......and we'll catch up with all of you at some point in Morocco.

(Actually just as well Andrew replied, Sue and I are just foot soldiers in this little exercise - Andrew and Tonka are General Staff and doing all the strategic stuff.... oh:oh: )

Have Fun. :thumb:

Good to hear you've recovered.

Take care

Sites 'Down South'

Evening Moroccan Adventurers

Trust all of you lurking around the Iberian peninsula waiting for the off are now getting suitably excited. We've now been here for 30 days, managed to get down the coast as far as the Western Sahara, thoroughly enjoyed it but found time has just flown by - very very glad we came for a 'full' 90 days!

Some info on parking sites south of Tan-Tan of interest, maybe.....

Laguna de Parc Khenifiss, Akhfennir. N28deg 01.717' W012deg 14.415' . About 60 miles southwest of Tan-Tan Plage (El Ouatia). Absolutely beautiful spot, no facilities so go full with fresh water and have empty waste tanks - not sure what's negotiable with the fisherman (except fish of coarse!) Didn't need to book or get a ticket in Akhfennir (as it says in the Vicarious book) but do have a fiche handy for the police when they visit.... Marvellous spot!

Beach/Ouedi wild site 25 miles south of Tan-Tan plage ( Al Ouida) N28deg 17.481' W011deg 31.874'. Heading south the 'entrance' is on the right just over a bridge. Spotted as we passed on way back north - looks like an interesting spot.' No idea how the authorities view the site but a good dozen or more were there. Looking now in the Vicarious book we think this is Oued Chbika (no 90)

Le Camp Bedoin, Dwara (Douara) Half way between Tarfaya and Laayoune N27deg 27.748'. W013deg 03.120'. Well signed piste just south of Dwara. The piste is 3 miles of dirt track but absolutely fine for motorhomes, just drive slowly. In the 'desert' - I loved it, Sue not so impressed....

Camping Nil, Foum El Oued, N27deg10.602 W013deg23.578. OK for a night (or maybe two). We used as a base to visit Laayoune (there doesn't seem to be anywhere else) Site isn't obvious to find, it's behind a school (itself not obviously a school) on the left just as you enter Foum.

Hope that helps

Have Fun :thumb:

[Carol]

We hit Iceland in Fuengirola last night and stayed over at parqe comercial Mirimar. Heading for 1 night at Cabopino -
are you there yet Carol? - then on to Gib for Morrisons.

Morocco calls. :thumb:

We should be at camping cabopino on Saturday if anyone there

Oh so sorry if we missed you Malcolm, we were here but I only got internet tonight so did not see your post, hope to catch up'

Mr Motorhome and Champers have joined us tonight but off to Bella Vista Tomorrow we are staying here until Monday then moveing to Bella Vista for the final push.

Had a ride on the bendy bus into Marbella today into the Old Town, coolest day we have had in Spain, can not understand why it was so much warmer in the Mountains Totana than it is on the coast. Morocco here we come. :thumb:

 

[tremaer]

Bella Vista

We will try and locate you at Cabopino tomorrow in the morning, If we miss you we intend staying at Bella Vista for 1 night tomorrow before moving on to Gib
All the best
