Sam Molyneux - Fes to Chefchaouen

Green hillside sloping down to a large lake with mountains beyond

Steep climbs along the edge of the reservoir completed with plenty of encouragement from hordes of children leaving school.

Road overlooking a lake at dusk with storm clouds and distant rain

Sleeping bag and camping stove set up inside a small storage room

The auberge I'd planned to stay in was abandoned but they'd left a room open. I wasn't aware I was sharing with a cat until it decided to leave in a hurry around 6am.

Foggy town street crowded with cars and people in hooded jackets

My chain broke on the way up to Bni Ahmed, huge thanks to Abdel who took me up and down the busy town spread along a single street until we found a car mechanic who could get me going again (fix involved a hammer and 6 spectators).

Green tent pitched among bushes with snow-capped Rif mountains behind

A favourite camp spot, secluded well above the road with mountains in all directions.
