Pues sí, de nuevo a Marruecos. Nos quedamos con las ganas de hacer más dunas cuando estuvimos en verano, así que pasaremos 6 dias en Marruecos del 26 de Diciembre hasta el dia 1 de Enero en que volveremos en Ferry a Barcelona. Éste es el primer cambio importante con respecto al viaje de Agosto, nos embarcamos en Barcelona y vamos directamente a Nador. Para mi, éste cambio es el más importante ya que después de hacer números, casi es más económico esta opción que bajara hasta Almeria o Algeciras con el ahorro consiguiente de desgaste general del coche más gasoil y peajes de autopista y hasta quizas una noche de hotel. El ahorro es mayor si el booking del ferry lo haces con mucho tiempo de antelación. En nuestro caso lo reservamos en la 1ª semana de Septiembre pero el problema lo tuvimos con los hoteles que ya estaban casi todos ocupados al 100% para estas fechas.
El plan de viaje es como sigue:
26/12: Barcelona - Nador (Ferry)
27/12: Nador - Midelt (411 km Asfalto)
28/12: Midelt - Gorgues de Jaffar - Erfoud (126 Km offroad - 146 km Asfalto)
29/12: Rissani - Ouzina - Erg de Chebbi - Merzane - Erfoud (168 km offroad y 50 km de asfalto)
30/12: Erfoud - ErRachidia - Merzouga - Erfoud (? km pistas/arena y 83 km asfalto)
31/12: Erfoud - Erg de Chebbi - Midelt (? km pistas/arena y 123 km asfalto)
Pero antes de nada, quiero explixaros los cambios que he realizado en el Range para afrontar este nuevo viaje.
Hace unos meses adquirí un roofrack o portaequipajes (baca) Safari de Cruzber para aconcionar mejor la rueda, el jerrycan, las planchas de rescate y una caja de almacenamiento ya que el interior está bastante ocupado.
Este portaequipajes me da mayor seguridad y aerodimámica gracias a la derivabrisas frontal.

| El roof rack de Cruzber con la rueda el jerrycane y las planchas. Antes de salir el dia 26, montaré la caja. |
En el interior, he modificado practicamente todo, he cambiado la estructura que soportaba el depósito de agua de 100 lts y éste por un depósito de 48 lts que he montado vertical detras de la banqueta derecha posterior y entre la cajonera posterior que tambien he modificado moviendo y alzando 4 cm el baul superior. La banqueta de la izquierda (lado conductor) no la he montado y en su lugar va la nevera en su nueva disposición. Con ello he ganado dos cosas, recuperar dos plazas posteriores con lo que no necesito desmontar toda la antigua estructura del depósito de agua para poder montar los asientos posteriores. Evidentemente, sigo manteniendo el generador de agua potable en la parte trasera,con su bomba, grifo e instalación que tambien he modificado.

 |
| todavía tengo que arreglar la parte trasera con la cajonera. Las cajas de encima son de herramientas y la bolsa roja es el surtido botiquín SOS. Debajo la cajonera, la mesa y bolsas varias. Ala izquierda, el generador de agua y el grifo de suinistro de agua potable. |
Otro cambio imortante ha sido montar el compresor debajo del hueco del asiento del acompañante con un relay de 75A y una isntalación hasta la nueva cónsola central del salpicadero que me permite tener los tres relojes mejor posiciandos ademas de disponer de 3 interruptores ( 1 para actuar en los ventiladores delanteros manualmente, otro para las luces led y el tercero para el compresor ademas de una nueva toma de corriente USB). La consola dispone de un práctico soporte para soportes de telefono o tablet que cuando haces offroad, impide que se despegue la ventosa del cristal delantero cuando está montado allí.
 |
| Detalle de la nueva consola de MDI |
A nivel mecánico bomba, líquido y bombin de embrague nuevos, amortiguadores Ironman foamcellpro traseros nuevos, bombines de freno delanteros reparados y pastillas nuevas y cable del acelerador nuevo.
En fin, un poco de todo para ir más cómodo y preparado que en el anterior viaje de verano y que esperamos terminar mejor en ésta ocasión.
Ya en el primer viaje nos bajamos unas 100 camisrtas que fuimos repartiendo durante el camino, basicamente a niños y adolescentes. En esta ocasión nos bajamos casi 200 camisetas y 20 pares de zapatos tamien tallas infantiles y juveniles. Esta vez vaos a canalizar las donaciones a través de una persona que conocimos y que sabrá a quien estará más necesitado de ello.
En cuanto al viaje en sí, dos etaaps las haremos solos Anna i yo, la de Midelt Gorgues de Jaffar y la de Rissani Ouzina que complementará la que no pudimos acabar por el barro en Agosto de Zagora a Merzouga. Las demás, coincidiremos 1 dia con unos amigos que realizan un viaje similar al nuestro pero orgnizado por Discoverland y los otros dos dias sobrantes haremos dunas con un guía de la zona que fué lo que no pudimos completar en su totalidad en Agosto ya que pasó lo que pasó.
Bien lectores, no os aburro más y os espero en la próxima entrada que escribire duranye el viaje en Ferry camino de Nador.

Hello again friends:
Yes, again to Morocco. We were left with the desire to make more dunes when we were in summer, so we will spend 6 days in Morocco from December 26 until January 1 when we will return to Ferry to Barcelona. This is the first important change with respect to the August trip, we will take the Ferry in Barcelona and go directly to Nador. For me, this change is the most important since after making numbers, it is almost cheaper this option instead of go driving to Almeria or Algeciras with the consequent savings in car plus gasoil and tolls and maybe even a hotel night . The saving is greater if you book the ferry with a lot of time in advance. In our case we booked it in the 1st week of September but the problem was with the hotels, at this time it was almost all busy at 100% for these dates.
The trip plan is as follows:
12/26: Barcelona - Nador (Ferry)
12/27: Nador - Midelt (411 km Asphalt)
12/28: Midelt - Gorgues de Jaffar - Erfoud (126 Km offroad - 146 km Asphalt)
12/29: Rissani - Ouzina - Erg of Chebbi - Merzane - Erfoud (168 km offroad and 50 km of asphalt)
12/30: Erfoud - ErRachidia - Merzouga - Erfoud (? Km tracks / sand and 83 km asphalt)
12/31: Erfoud - Erg of Chebbi - Midelt (? Km tracks / sand and 123 km asphalt)
But first of all, I want to explain to you the changes that I have made in the Range to face this new trip.
A few months ago I bought a roofrack or luggage rack Cruzber Safari to better fit the wheel, the jerrycan and a storage box since the interior is quite busy.
This luggage rack gives me greater safety and aerodynamics thanks to the front windshield.
Inside, I have modified almost everything, I changed the structure that supported the tank of water of 100 liters for a tank of 48 liters that I mounted vertically behind the rear right bench and between the rear drawer that I also modified moving and raising 4 cm the upper trunk. The bench on the left (driver side) I have not mounted and instead the refrigerator in its new arrangement. With this I have won two things, recover two subsequent seats so I don´t need to remove the old structure of the water tank to mount the rear seats. Obviously, I still keep the generator of drinking water in the back, with its pump, tap and hoses installation that I have also modified.
Another important change has been to put the compressor under the gap of the passenger seat with a relay of 75A and an isntalación to the new central console of the dashboard that allows me to have the three watches well positioned having 3 new switches (1 to act in the front fans manually, another for the led lights and the third for the compressor plus a new USB socket). The console has a practical support for phone or tablet supports that when you do offroad, prevents the suction cup from the front glass when it is mounted there.
At the mechanical level, pump, fluid and new clutch, new Foamcellpro Ironman rear shocks, repaired front brake with new pads and new throttle cable.
In short, a little of everything to be more comfortable and prepared than in the previous summer trip and we hope to finish better this time.
Already on the first trip we got down about 100 camisrtas that we were distributing along the way, basically to children and teenagers. On this occasion, we downloaded almost 200 T-shirts and 20 pairs of shoes for children and youth sizes. This time go to channel donations through a person we met and who will know who will be most in need of it.
As for the trip itself, two stages will be done by Anna and I, the one by Midelt Gorgues de Jaffar and the second from Rissani to Ouzina that will complement the one that we couldn´t finish by the mud in August from Zagora to Merzouga. The others, we will coincide 1 day with some friends who make a similar trip to ours but organized by Discoverland. The rest of days we will remaining driving on dunes with a guide of the area that was what we couldn´t complete in August because of ..... you know what happened yet.
Well friends, I do not bore you anymore and I¨ ll waiting for you in the next post that I will write during the trip on Ferry to Nador.
