I'm currently sorting the bike in order to enjoy a couple of months in Morocco getting lost on Pistes. Due to work commitments being extended from February to Easter, I have ruled out heading further south into Africa due to the temps warming up, especially on the return leg.

Given this later departure date, I probably won't go further south than Western Sahara and am aiming to return to the Continent early June to head north to avoid the heat.

This leaves me with 6 weeks left of my Sabbatical to wander the earth like an unwashed gypsy. Not entirely sure where that time will be spent, but I am currently reviewing Turkey or a lap of the Black Sea.

A lap of the Caspian sounds grand, but doing it in 3 weeks is too fast for me
