Run to the sun….

Leaving tafraroute as it’s too cold at night..🥶🥶

Warmer in Cornwall..😆

Will come back up when it gets warmer.. either heading back to sidi ifni or elsewhere..

The Boofles have got a problem so I might be able to help them there.. international rescue is on the way..🚀🛸

And….. welcome back CaptainPaul didn’t even have time to send me a postcard…☺️😉
He might have gone to Coventry but I think it was in the DBS as he was back before he went 😂
 
Not sure Jon, Smiffy said something was up but haven't heard anything more, I'm presuming it's the van but hopefully nothing too serious
Thanks everyone - hopefully nothing too serious 🤞
We totally lost power coming up the hills from Guelmim into Sidi Ifni yesterday. I’m hoping it’s something simple such as sand/dust clogging the air filters (it was mighty windy at Tarfaya) but, I am not a mechanic by any stretch, neither is Mr Boofle so … the mobile mechanic is coming back this afternoon after having a quick look last night.
 
I think Garry is on his way back down towards Sidi Ifni again, that can be a long enough old trek, I find in Morocco whatever Google maps tell you time wise for the trip you can nearly double it!

Hey Garry, hate to tell you this but we had a lovely hot pork sarnie for lunch and it's egg, bacon and fried spuds for tea!

Catch me if you can. :imoutahere:

😄
 
Looks like Essaouira? Are you chancing staying by the camels tonight Paul?
No Jon I'll be heading out to Le Calme but I think Garry stayed out by the camels a couple of weeks back and had no problem overnighting
I stayed out at le calme last trip and rented a wee car for a few days to use in and out of Essaouira as the motorhome parking near the medina etc is all gone now unfortunately 😑

The mechanics have dismantled most of egr throttle body etc…
Could be filter as no eml lights came on… there at the mercy of the mechanics now who are getting a new filter…🤞🏼
In my limited experience they're usually quite honest Garry and don't rip the balls out of it with labour prices

Yeah he’s nearly the resident mechanic so he wouldn’t be here if he was bad, half of what I meant is they’ve taken all the bits with him so there’s nothing I can do, I’ll have a good look when it’s all done…😎
 
Got some fantastic pictures of our journey down today from Tafraoute but I’ve got rubbish Wi-Fi, hopefully get it sorted tomorrow and I’ll post them…

Had a look at a couple of places that do the spraying while there yesterday and did fancy the place where Tam got his done, everything out in the open, I’ve got metallic paint so it’s going to be undercoat paint and then lacquer… the other garage I saw did all the prep work outside but my van will fit into their workshop, had a Quick Look at their work and it was ok but I only saw flat paint so when/if I’m there I’ll double check before I commit…

But from what I saw of tafraoute it looked a little lively place with lots of cafes restaurants and a little medina so plenty to do while I’m waiting plus the scenery is sublime and geography amazing…😳😳

Was planning on heading to Tafraoute tomorrow from Aglou, but may now head further south to Sidi Ifni if it’s that cold at night lol

Wish I’d had the foresight to photograph various engine parts dissembled and (quite lovingly, I thought) laid out on the ground … he’s given us a little package of various nuts, bolts, screws etc all wrapped up in a little rag … best not misplace those eh 🤔
He also counted back in to his tool sets the various socket thingy’s, spanners and screwdrivers which, when you read about some peoples’ experience of hospital surgery, is quite reassuring really 🤣

As long as he doesn’t mislay the 10mm socket…😆😉
