Defender and G-wagon in search of remoteness

Today Ken and I found another lovely track, actually the one we original wanted to follow heading north-east yesterday, but had lost track of because the trail had been washed out in the riverbed. We had spend nearly two hours the day before, trying to locate it, but with no luck, and eventually we lost it as it faded out in front of us.
But today we were able to hook up on the track on the other side of several crossing of the dried-out riverbed, and so we headed of bearing north-east. We struggled again today to trace the track, it seemed that no-one had been on it since the rain-storms in November. But eventually we got to a tiny village on top of a mountain-pass, and was gifted with a spectacular view towards the snow covered peaks of the High-Atlas mountain-range.
