Arranged to meet Ayoub Nehili ( a Moroccan caving contact EP had been in contact with via Facebook) in Cassablanca. Went via Rabat to buy some topo maps from one of the only places where you can buy maps in Morocco.
Met Ayoub at a cafe near the port of Cassablanca. Ayoub asked us to meet the president of the Moroccan Caving Association at the university, Prof. Amrani Marrakchi. As Ayoub had no transport, EP had to choose between driving in a Moroccan city or get on the back of JC's motorbike. City driving won, so MC got on the back of the bike. EP nervously xove her way through the city traffic mayhem until we reached the university. Ayoub led us through the campus to meet the professor. A very informative discussion took place gleaning lots of information from the local cavers and advice (many thanks for this, it was really appreciated.).
Spent 5 hours driving to Beni Mellal, in one of our selected caving areas, arriving at a hotel at 11pm.
