Itinerary description

Intro
This route leads off the broken asphalt which climbs up to the Tammast plateau from the Ahansal valley. Other long, lateral routes on Wikiloc connect Ahansal with Imilchil (fuel). Apart from road crews, we may have been the first to do this track which was unfinished at the Anergui end (Feb '24).
Route Description
Just NW of the 2630-m col with a mast, this route heads north and begins its descent off the Tammast plateau to the Assif Melloul river. You'll soon pass a rough goat-herders' homestead and later, a 'forestry cabin'. Around 12km (the point on Google Maps where the track ends and you can make out diggers), the track was as yet ungraded as it began the main descent. We managed fine on a 300 and 890 moto; so will a 4x4 with clearance.
At the waypoint indicated they were still working on the last 1.5km to the bridge over the Assif Melloul. This tracklog shows where a diversion drops down to the river and then crosses a few shallow fords before reaching the bridge where the new track will come in. Our tracklog ends at the gite just up the road.
Not a one-way route, but until the track is finished and graded, it might initially be a struggle uphill (southbound) on a big bike.

Feb 2024 the last km or 2 into south end of Anergui was still being worked and blocked. A diversion (our route) drops to and follows the river. They both meet at the first bridge.

    Merci et oui, c'est tout à fait possible en 4x4, même le long de la rivière dans l'état où nous l'avons fait.
