Chris Scott, Trailblazer Publications 2009

A new publication on Morocco really worth presenting. Chris Scott, author of the Sahara bible Sahara Overland, focused on Morocco this time. The result is a well-written guidebook that fills the English-language gap left by the existing Lonely Planets and Rough Guides. Aimed at the independent traveller, be it in a 4×4, motorcycle or mountain bike, this is a book about preparation, practicalities and, above all: pistes. Clear descriptions of both well-known and less traveled routes, combined with nice photos and Chris’ entertaining writing style make this one a must-have for any traveller with own transport going beyond the berber-tea-fake-touareg-camel-in-the-dunes tours. Know that this post is totally unbiased, despite the fact that I made some contributions to the book.
