The tannery they used is the big one just south of the gate and alongside the main road.

The first few teams met up at this triangle just north of the Ben Youssef Mosque while searching for the cobbler, but I'm still having trouble figuring out where all the teams ran into each other, which is where the cobbler actually was.

I have a vague sense of where the cobbler might be?

Let's start with the triangle where Brooke and Kym rave about Bethany. There's a small sign at the back where you can sort of make out the words "Esprit du Maroc," a riad just north of the Ben Youssef Mosque. So we can place where they are.

In the same scene, the yellow-shirted gentleman gestures for teams to head west, then to make a left turn. (He mouths the word "left" too!) So we look in that general direction.

Then we try to find the corner where everyone meets up; most teams come in from the bottom-right hand corner of the screen (from the way the bicycles are pointing), while Tim comes in from the top-right hand corner underneath a covered passageway. Google Earth has terrible resolution for Marrakech, but the only place I could find fitting all of the above clues is this corner just west of the mosque. Could this be it?

Edit: Still can't find the tea shop though. The flooring doesn't match El Bahja Souk.

Here's the TAR 25 map collection, including difficult-to-find locations like:
- the Peats of Scalloway;
- the haybales of Arsete Boumankar in Marrakech; and
- the Pit Start in Manila II, which was a good 24km/15mi from the Pit Stop!

(Is there any demand for individual episode jpg maps?)
