A TEAM from a Worcestershire-based firm has returned safely from a challenging expedition across Morocco.
Travelling on motorcycles, the Legion Expedition team, from Trailquest in Malvern, used old military maps and satellite imagery to locate and plot a route to an abandoned Foreign Legion outpost in the south-east of the country.
A Trailquest spokesman said they encountered conditions ranging from deep sand to deep snow in what turned out to be a very challenging adventure.
“The use of light weight trail bikes for archaeological exploration is something we have pioneered.
“Enabling us to go where even 4×4 vehicles cannot reach has proved very valuable in achieving the expedition aims,” he said.
The team were acting as an advance party for a follow-up expedition being undertaken by students from theUniversity of Worcester in May.
