A Wild Goat Chase. Xtreme Goes to the Sahara.
Oliver Bray is a man on a mission. In aid of the DVD release of the Men who stare at goats, he is taking some hardy journalists from the Sun newspaper and the people in search of Morrocco’s famous tree climbing goats, and check out some new cool Xtreme Gap Morocco programmes…
Over the next five days he will keep you posted how it goes.
Stepping off the plane in Marrakech for the uninitiated is like stepping into a different world. A world governed by insane traffic conditions, where anything and everything owns the road. I´m talking donkeys, mules, motor bikes, cycles, pedestrians, cats, dogs and the occasional disorientated tourist looking lost having emerged from the maze of souks dominating the centre of the medina. A world where there is a constant hair dryer blast of hot air straight in the face and everything has a price, usually the wrong one massively over inflated, but hey thats Morrocco. Its hot, it stinks, but it is so cool.
I am not here to be a tourist this time, sadly, but in a “working” capacity. I say “working” because as random missions go, this one takes some beating. Tasked with helping with the DVD release of the men who stair at goats, I will be looking to get 2 journalists up close and personal with tree climbing goats and camels, to emulate some of the scenes from the film. Now for those of you that have seen the film you may be thinking what has a film about Psychic military spies who are training their minds to kill goats, set in Iraq, have to do with Morrocco. Well, none. Nothing, nada. Except for the fact the journalists have a limited time away, and despite being an Extreme company, we don´t currently have any programmes in Iraq. Morrocco does have 2 beautiful cards up its sleeve though.
It has a dessert, much like the one in Iraq (but bigger) and it is also home to tree climbing goats not seen anywhere else in the world. Tolstoy this ain´t but I am sure the readers of the sun will appreciate it.
For the articles to work we have to get some good shots of goats, and the dessert. Seems simple enough.
