The angular faults in the rock are said to be the way the rock hills and mountains are being formed. Kids are lovely. I found some older teenagers through stones once. Could be. Jealousy or something. Understandable if one turns up with vehicles they could hardly imagine let alone own.

Same! You hear how nice people are from those that have made the journey into Morocco, but even with that, you don’t actually know how nice they are until you witness it. You feel it, for sure.

The angled layers in the rock formations is all to to with tectonic plate movement. When you get 2 tectonic plates colliding with each other, one will tend to go under the other thereby causing the angled layers. You can see the effect of tectonic plate collisions in many parts of the world. Richy, if you like Morocco so much you should have a look at the Sultanate of Oman. I have been there twice and it is absolutely amazing. Go up onto the mountains and you can see fossilised sea creatures in the rocks. Enjoying this series.

Hi Richy, it's Albert, we met at Xmas do two.. regarding the linear features in the rocks, they're called strata, they are form by materials such as grains of sand blowing off the mountains and settling on the ground, over MILLIONS of years they compress to form rock. You can see the lines because of the slightly different climatic conditions at the time of deposit, giving the rocks slightly different colours. They started off as flat and parallel to the ground, but as all the continents on the earth float on a liquid Mantle below the crust, the crash into each other causing earth quakes and volcanoes, these lift the rocks above and move them in all directions. It is common to see very steep strata, even vertical or 'S' shaped, because you can still see the original lines. It's amazing to think that if you stand at a rock face with strata, the layer at you feet and the layer at your head could have taken 20 millions years to form, and yet there is little if any difference the rock, showing that the conditions stayed the same for millions of years. Think of how different the earth looks now compared to 500 years ago. due to humans! ...and we have only been on the earth some 2 million years. Loving the vids, all the best.. ALBERT.

I´ve ridden the R704, back in 2015, the first time at night with a couple of friends, because we got lost. One of the guys was in a HD Springer Softail (so you can imagine the result...). I was ridding a NC700X with street tires. We took hours the get to the end. We were so tired we stayed the night in that little albergue you passed and filmed down the mountain. I since been there in prepared bikes and it is really amazing! Glad you enjoyed it! It´s, in fact, absolutely unforgettable.
