Upon advice of our host at Zaouiat Ahansal, we decided to skip the section of the trek that would take us southwest of Taghia, through the planes of Tilamsine. The main issue was the difficulty to find water in Tilamsine. We had to spend 2 days in the plane and with the hot weather, we would need a lot of water but all the sources were dry, according to our host. On his advice we took the bus a few kilometers west of Zaouiat Ahansal to a small settlement called Rnes, just north of Jbel Ouzzourkl. From the turn on the road just before Rnes, a well marked path goes around the east slope of Jbel Ouzzourkl and turns back to the west towards the Tizi Las pass, joining the path that we were originally supposed to follow.

After the pass, we continued down to the Ait Bouguemez valley, via Zaouiat Oulmzi. We camped already in the valley, close to Iglaouane.
