Day 23 Friday 09/10/09

It was decided that we would visit a show cave, Gouffre Friouato that was 6km away and Aziz came along to show us other caves in the area, including the entrance of Chiker Cave.
After the show cave we drove south to find an area of new cave potential as described by the Casablancan cavers. Having driven for some time we realised that we could not relate our location to the sketch map that we had. We were now on no map that we had and there were no road signs either. Both vehicles were getting low on fuel but JC still had a jerry can of petrol in the Land Rover. We carried on driving, hoping to find a village with fuel. We got to a village we were told had fuel, but it only had about four houses!
Driving on, we came across some men working on a new road and asked for directions. They said that in 60km there was a town with fuel. It was getting late and we pressed on. Driving through the mountains we found a remote and peaceful valley with grass, opposite some shepherds and set up camp.
